Locavore Farm: A Unique Farm-Stay Experience
Welcome to Locavore Farm, where we offer a one-of-a-kind farm-stay experience on our picturesque 30-acre estate. Nestled within this rural haven is a beautifully remodeled 100-year-old cottage, providing an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Surrounded by the simple beauty of country living, our property invites you to immerse yourself in a serene and wholesome environment.
During your stay, you'll have the unique opportunity to harvest fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers directly from our gardens. Stock your fridge with pasture-raised meats, local dairy products such as milk and cheese, and scratch-made baked goods available at our farm shop. Each morning, you can fetch your own eggs, experiencing the bounty and satisfaction of a homestead lifestyle. Whether you choose to participate in a few farm chores or simply slow down and let the rural landscape nurture your soul, Locavore Farm offers a refreshing retreat.
To enhance your stay, we provide a variety of add-ons designed to create unforgettable memories. Enjoy a guided farm tour to explore our beautiful grounds and meet the animals, or indulge in a meal prepared by a private chef using fresh, local ingredients. We also offer educational farm classes where you can learn about sustainable farming practices, and you may participate in one of our many special events and farm experiences. Please note that all add-ons require an additional purchase and must be arranged in advance to ensure availability. For pricing and scheduling, please email Mrs. Farmer Jones at rcjones2013@gmail.com.
The Cottage is well-equipped with all the essentials you might need, including pots and pans, a coffee pot, tea kettle, bottled water, coffee, cream, tea, sugar, and other items available upon request. It also features a mini-fridge for your convenience. Accommodations include two queen-size bedrooms and a queen-sleeper couch, providing comfortable lodging for up to six guests. Once the retreat of its original lawyer owners in 1940, this historic cottage now offers a peaceful respite, and we hope you find it just as refreshing.
Please be aware that guests must purchase Dine on the Land tickets if their stay coincides with one of our event experiences. Be sure to check Locavore’s Reservation Calendar to see if your rental falls on one of these special dates. We look forward to hosting your special getaway and making your visit to Locavore Farm truly unforgettable!
The farmhouse is 100-years old, fully renovated with charm and respect of its historic and simple beginnings. The home was once owned by City-dwellers who over a hundred years ago, sought out a quiet place to slow down and revive. The renovated house has two queen-size bedrooms, and a queen-sleeper sofa - so it sleeps six-max. The bathroom features shower and bath and double-sink. The kitchen, dining and living room are open concept and equipped with a mini-fridge, dining room table for six, convection/air-fryer oven combo and all the essentials for at-home living. The home is surrounded by the woods, gardens, and adjacent to the family that resides on-sight, owns and stewards the land.
Locavore is known for its farm dinner events, featuring live music, bonfire and their signature 100-foot hand-crafted table. If selecting Thursday, you’ll be able to attend Locavore’s Thursday Night Hang. Join locals for a casual night under the stars, featuring live music and an a la carte farm-fresh food and drink menu.
If staying on a Saturday, your farm-stay make sure to also book two adult dinner tickets to Locavore’s signature and acclaimed farm dinner event, Dine on the Land. Additional tickets are available for purchase at www.locavorefarm.com. Prior to the event, observe how a group of farmers get a 100-foot table ready for 100 guests and a five-course feast. At 5 PM, step out and enjoy an evening of dining, live music, and more. Sunday, check-out is by 11. During your stay, purchase a daily share ($65-$72) and harvest food from the raised gardens just outside the cottage so you can enjoy your own farm-to-table experience. Stock your fridge with our pasture-raised meats, local grass-fed dairy (milk and cheese) and scratch-made baked goods. Wine and cocktails can be purchased separately at the farm's bar and shop.
All tickets for dinner, dining events, special events sold separately. Visit www.LocavoreFarm.com for schedule of events.
