We did a farm-stay weekend with Stephanie and loved it. Just our luck that we happened to be there for the sheep-shearing, which was mesmerizing and wonderful. We had a peaceful time on the farm and loved touring the grounds with Stephanie. Her breakfasts delivered each morning were top-notch, and she also helped arrange a visit to another farm nearby so we could learn about garlic planting. What a fabulous place!

Jenn’s place is like a slice of heaven. Peaceful, restorative and simply magical. Her love is evident in every square inch- and especially with the animals on her farm. I loved meeting every single one. Nothing like sitting by a fence sharing apples with a few entertaining goats and the sweetest cow.

Our family of four (kids 6 and 2) had an amazing time at the farm. The tour and chores were hands on and the perfect level for our kids. Our daughters loved getting to see the animals, playing in the stream, and exploring the area. The food was incredible and our hosts were so friendly and helpful with local recommendations. We hope to return!

Why We Are Heading to Scotland This June (And Why You Might Want to Join Us)
This June, we’re packing our bags and heading to Aberdeen, Scotland for something pretty special.
Where Hospitality Comes Naturally
Across the country, farms are welcoming guests in growing numbers, from short visits to longer stays, offering a close look at everyday farm life. It’s an invitation to see where food comes from and to experience farm life. Those who have chosen to do this have done so thoughtfully. There is no performance or theme, but instead a form of welcoming, a chance to share the land and introduce the families who care for it. From the outside, visiting a working farm can feel a little unexpected. The farmer has laden the breakfast table with jams they made and eggs fresh from the chicken coop. You step outside your door to pick fresh fruit from the orchard, or maybe you’re invited to try your hand at milking a dairy cow or holding a bottle of warm milk for a calf. The lights are on for your late arrival, and a friendly note on the table welcomes you to the farm. This is a visit to a family’s home in the countryside. At Farmstay, we work with farms and ranches across the country that welcome guests in many different ways. Some are just beginning their hospitality journey. Others have been opening their gates for decades, shaping hospitality through lived experience rather than any single formula. This is a small glimpse of the many farms that do this kind of hosting especially well (the first three farms on our list were early U.S. pioneers in farm hospitality, welcoming guests as far back as the 1950s).
