Events and Celebrations
May through October
The downstairs of our 1779 farmhouse and upper barn with a finished floor are available for rent for day-use gatherings. Complete with hiking trails, scenic waterfall, excellent bird-watching in the wetlands, and sacred sites in the woods, we offer a low-key environment for everything from kids camps to board brainstorms to spiritual retreats, even the occasional wedding if you can handle the perpetually noisy ducks! Fell free to give us a ring to come and visit to see if our site may be right for you.

We are sold out for our Winter Raw Milk CSA, but still have limited public sale milk available. This season runs from Nov. 1st '11 - April 1st '12. Members have their choice of pick-up day and milk amount, and will be picking up at the farmhouse for the winter. We still have public sale milk as available, but cannot garuntee supply for walk-in folks. We are generally sold-out by mid-afternoon. If the CSA sounds like a good choice for you please give us a ring or drop us an email for more information. We are now taking wait-list folks for our Spring/Summer '12 CSA (April-October).
We are not certified organic, but our management involves a (cow-sized) dash of certified organic grain as a parlor treat, and our cows are pastured and rotationally grazed, and fed a wealth of rich hay in the winter. We're milking just a handful of Brown Swiss, a Jersey, and a Guernsey this season, with really quality butterfat and protein-filled milk for fresh drinking, cheese, yogurt, and butter-making. We hand bottle into half-gallon, returnable glass jars. We also have milk for sale as available, self-serve, in our farm refrigerator. This is clean, wholesome, local raw milk, that is getting lovely customer taste reviews. Hope to see you!
