We purchased our 45 acre farm in 1997, since then we have operated a sustainable small organic farm.  In January of 2018 we purchased 58 more acres that is attached to our land.  The property has a greenhouse, high tunnel and about a half acre of field that we raise vegetables & fruit on.  We have a 3 acre pond with a naturally sustaining fish population, we swim in the pond, many small pastures and woods with streams running through them.  Plenty of wildlife, hiking & mountain biking areas.  We have a certified kitchen at the farm and have products raised & made on the farm to purchase.  Supposedly the house is haunted and there are a couple of haunted sites within 15 miles of the farm.

The hospitality upon arrival was great and the sites were well maintained. Nice and quiet, so relaxing; and the fishing was pretty good.

Great camping trip!
We had the best time at Deb and Matt's farm! Site 2 was great. It is sunny and slightly sloped but that was expected. You can wake up and fish right at your campsite. They also let us use their canoe. Matt took us for a tour around the property on a golf cart, and Deb was sweet enough to watch our pup while we wandered, because he has some separation anxiety. We had a great time and will definitely be returning.

Doesn’t get any better.
10/10. Gracious, down-to-earth hosts made this hidden gem a home away from home. Beautiful property and people. Will be back!
