Hay Wagon Rides and Summer Go Hand-in-Hand

We're a long way from those childhoods our grandparents (or great-grandparents?) had, where jumping on top of the hay wagon was a part of the summer fun. Of course, once you got to the barn you were handed a pitchfork to unload the wagon. Luckily there are still some farms that will load up the hay wagon just to give you the experience, with no pitchforks in sight!

My Stay at a Vermont Farm Bed & Breakfast by Sveva Marcangeli

Liberty Hill Farm Inn, owned by Beth and Bob Kennett, have been bringing people together from all corners of the world under one roof since 1984. Having recently welcomed a seasoned global traveler Sveva Marcangeli to the farm, they were left with more than a heartfelt guestbook entry, rather an inspiring testament on the importance of community, connecting to your local farmer, and practicing gratitude. Take a moment to read an excerpt from her beautifully written piece below, and then follow the link for the whole article.

How Can Sheep Survive Bitter Cold Weather

This post first appeared on Kim Goodling's blog at https://www.livingwithgotlands.com/. Kim is shepherdess to a flock of Gotlands, the curly sheep from Sweden. She invites farm stay guests to experience rural living, sheep, and fiber art at her farm in Vermont. See her Farm Stay U.S. listing at Vermont Grand View Farm or visit her website. We thought with all the challenging weather happening across the country right now, a post on how sheep can survive such cold temps would be interesting... enjoy!

Take a Milking Vacation to Liberty Hill Farm in Vermont

Liberty Hill Farm forms a lovely bucolic picture: a 102-cow dairy and inn nestled along the White River between the steep hills in Central Vermont. There's a tall red barn where guests can try milking a cow or feeding the calves. There's a cozy 1800s farmhouse where guests sleep, eat two home cooked meals a day, and relax, either in the comfy sitting room or on a rocker on the roomy porch. There's also an abundance of nature to enjoy - swimming, tubing and fishing along the White River, hiking and biking through the Green Mountain National Forest, and berry bushes and flowers growing on the wild pieces of the property. In winter, opportunities abound for both cross-country and downhill skiing.
