However, outside, the farm is always alive and active! Between the leaping goats, fluffy dogs, flower harvesting, and tractor activities, there are occasionally opportunities to get your hands dirty, should you desire! However, those who are less farm inclined may watch safely from behind the fences :-) However you choose to engage with the farm, keep in mind that you are sleeping directly above our livestock. While we do our best to keep farm noises to a minimum, you should expect to hear the animals from time to time, which includes the occasional barking from our guardian dogs. It is their job to keep everyone safe and that's how they sound the alarm of any suspicious predators passing by. If you are traveling with kids, seniors, or a big group, please keep in mind that the loft is about 650sq ft, and up a flight of stairs, when considering your space and accessibility requirements. If you are interested in visiting us to experience (or taste!) something specific on our farm, please let us know, and we will make recommendations for the best time to book.
