Other things to note You are a guest on a working farm. Your stay includes all of the sights, smells, and sounds of a working farm in an agricultural district and rural area. We do not allow pets or service animals on the farm. We love dogs but our livestock guardian dogs do not. Our livestock guardian dogs' job is to protect their livestock from predators. They would regard your dog or pet as a predator. Therefore, your pet or SD is not safe on our farm. We apologize in advance if the livestock guardian dogs' (LGDs) barking disturbs your sleep. When they are barking, they are successfully keeping our livestock safe from coyotes, stray dogs, bears, foxes, skunks and other predators. When we hear them bark, we fall peacefully back to sleep knowing that all is well and safe on the pastures and in the barns. Unplug. WiFi signal may not be strong enough for interactive work such as Zoom meetings. No television reception. No Smoking in the Suite. Farm programs include Farm Tour & Chores, Farmer for a Day and Field and Kitchen workshops. Advance notice needed for these programs. Private dinners served upon request with at least one week's notice. We've gotten great press - most recently from Thrillist "10 Insanely Awesome Farm Activities You can Drive To" ; Bon Appetit's Food Traveler as Top 25 Foods Farms & Flavors Tourism Destination ; NOFA's summer newsletter; and a wonderful blog post from NewYorkCityFamily. Maps and other GPS often bring you to us in obscure and hard to drive routes, especially after dark. Please ask us to send you driving instructions. Check in is 3 - 9pm. We are a small, working farm. Late arrivals are very disruptive. We wake up before sunrise, so we go to bed early. There is a $50 late arrival fee for arrivals after 10pm. If you get delayed in traffic or lost, we would appreciate a call or email to let us know your arrival time.
