Think your accommodations will be dirty if you stay on a farm? Think again! Farm, ranch, and vineyard lodging for overnight guests can be anything from rustic tents and converted barns, to farmhouse rooms or elegant lodges. Pitch in with the farm chores if you like - or not - the level of dirt is up to you!
Flint Hill Farm in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania is known as a Farm Educational Center. Located on 26-acres, this multifaceted farm is a working Alpine goat and Jersey cow dairy that produces milk, cheese, and yogurt. You can pick up these products in their on-site store or enjoy them with your breakfast when you stay on the farm.

Netherfield Natural Farm, located in Fontana, Kansas, offers two types of stays in their restored 1882 Victorian farmhouse. You can opt for a traditional B&B style stay (which includes breakfast, of course), or a farm stay with all family style meals included while you're on the farm.
Wilson Ranches Retreat is our featured ranch stay of the month! The ranch is a 9,000 acre cattle ranch in Fossil, Oregon, with plenty of opportunity for scenic horseback rides and cattle roundups, hiking, and scouring for prehistoric fossils. The Wilson Family has deep roots in the area and a fascinating story. Here's our interview with Nancy Wilson from 2012. Nancy has since passed and the ranch is now run by Phil, her husband and her daughter and son-in law, Kara and Brian.
