Located on the site of a 19th century farm house, the current structure is a converted fiber carding mill. The building was designed to honor it's farming heritage by taking on the look of a traditional red barn. The host has lived most of her life on various sized farms and has now, in retirement, converted her backyard into an ever expanding series of gardens. Starting with two small raised beds.and a few flower gardens, it currently includes the flower gardens, two herb beds, the original raised beds, Concord grapes, and two fairly large vegetable gardens . In 2021 chicken were added to help with the recycling of garden waste. It's now 2023 and this year Strawberries, Red Raspberries and cold frames are being added to the gardens. The property also includes a large woodlot and meadows where foraging of wild eatables takes place.. The host has an keen interest in tiny house living and would be open to working with a tiny house owner. Learn more about this land: Enjoy a bit of the country life on a backyard homestead.

Back Yard Homestead

It is a good spot for a night but you are close to a road. So you have some traffic noise. Some nice trails for walking a dog.

Back Yard Homestead

Stayed at backyard Homestead, and it was nice and quiet other than a little bit of road noise. Chickens roaming the yard definitely entertained our cat. Host was very nice, had a good stay.

Suzanne’s Hipcamp location is FANTASTIC! Very private location looking over chickens and gardens. Lots of woods and trails on the property and to many to mention within an hour in any direction from her. She’s very knowledgeable on plants and homesteading. Fantastic host! Highly reccomended!
