Description
Hello! We are Todd and Sarah, small-scale homesteaders who believe strongly in the importance of good food, self-sufficiency, sustainability, skill-sharing, constant learning and community! On our 100-acre farm we look after a small flock of sheep, chickens, a sweet Jersey cow named Lottie and our silly dog called Levi. Our practices are ethically and environmentally driven, with the main goal being to improve the health of our land and to grow the best food for our small family. We’d love to have you stay with us!

Guests are more than welcome to join us for meals but have the option to cook for themselves if and when they choose! Guests will of course be allowed to harvest whatever they’d like from the garden.
What else ...
There are many beautiful places to visit in our area, including hiking trails, conservation areas, other local farms, the Trent River, and much more! We are located between a few different small, picturesque towns and only 40 minutes from Peterborough (the nearest city) which has great shopping, restaurants, art, nature and nightlife!
