What Should I Bring?
We are a farm in the mountains so be prepared to encounter INSECTS (mosquitoes, ticks, no-see-ums), WILDLIFE (deer, turkey, snakes, toads, and dare we mention the bear track we spotted one spring?), WEATHER (hot, cold, rain, snow), TOXIC PLANTS (poison ivy, stinging nettle, wild mushrooms), just to name a few.
We DO NOT have internet or cell service, though we do have a phone for emergency use (trust us, your "people" aren't out here). Instead, we do encourage other forms of entertainment: instruments, hiking shoes, fishing poles, bubbles, hula hoops, etc.
We also DO NOT have trash service. We will have recycling bins set up for plastic, cans, paper, and compost for your food waste, but plan to take your trash with you when you leave. We will have extra bags for those that forget. We also encourage you to bring your own dishes & cutlery to minimize excess trash as well.

Why Can't I Bring My Pet?
DO NOT BRING YOUR PET! We can't stress this one enough. We love our pets, too (three dogs, three cats, and a smattering of chickens, ducks, and turkeys currently make their homes here, along with the occasional stray), but we are not in the business of breaking up dog fights, cleaning up other animals' waste, or making sure your pet doesn't chase the livestock. Besides that, our insurance will not cover damage caused by your pet so expenses will come out of your own pocket.
How Do I Contact You?
We admit it, we're very hard to get ahold of since we are usually working outside and the farm has VERY limited internet and NO cell service. You're always welcome to try our home line before 9pm at 859.Yum.Dirt (986.3478), but the best way to catch us (usually) is via email at [email protected] or send us message through our facebook page!
