Highland cattle graze at the forest's edge on our Celtic-heritage farm: a gentle retreat with options for farm-fresh breakfasts, woodland wandering, and campfires complete with Gaelic songs and bagpipes! Our 40-acre farm includes heritage-breed animals, honeybees, organic gardens, and over 30 acres of conservation woodlands. We favor scythes over tractors--your stay will be quiet and fume-free! Bradbury Mountain and several trail networks are nearby, along with rivers, ocean beaches, and an excellent locavore food scene. Since the early 1800s, this land on the edge of Chandler Brook has nourished bodies and spirits alike. Sloping pastures meet well-managed woodlands, making this a haven for both humans and wildlife. Since the 1980s, we have worked to restore the soil and make a "hand-built" life as farmers using pre-industrial organic methods. We keep bees, maintain pollinator habitats, tend an orchard of heirloom-variety fruit trees, and conserve rare heritage-breed animals, including Tamworth and Mangalitsa pigs and Scottish Highland Cattle. Our shared love for Celtic folk culture has blended naturally with our love of sustainable agriculture to create Tir na nOg Farm. Today, the work of restoration continues with the help of farm partners, family, friends, WWOOFers, and other volunteers. This land is already better than we found it, but we hope it will remain a gathering-ground of culture and agriculture, tradition and innovation for generations to come.

What a great experience!
What an amazing experience! The cows and chickens are beautiful, and the dogs (Hamish and Rona) were so welcoming, as were the people of course 😊 The land is gorgeous. Everyone was so friendly, and we learned so much on the farm tour. We’re hoping to visit again during the growing season!

The Hobbit House at Tir na nOg Farm
Such a great experience! Hosts were lovely, hobbit house was cozy and kept me dry from the rain, and breakfast in the greenhouse was an added bonus. Excellent location - just a 20 minute drive to Portland.

The Hobbit House at Tir na nOg Farm
Stormy camping
We booked the Hobbit House last minute due to a storm, and we are so glad we did! Everyone on the farm was so kind and showed us around. The Hobbit House was absolutely beautiful, and kept us dry. It was so clean inside, and the air mattress was helpful so we didnt have to lug our camping gear. Very thankful we brought battery powered string lights so we could make it very cozy inside.
