Farm Life Agritourism

By Faith Farm in Joelton, Tennessee

By Faith Farm is sited on land that has been farmed since the early 1800s – primarily cattle, tobacco, and vegetables. When the 96-acre farm was bought in 2011 by the Birckheads, it had become fallow, the buildings abandoned, the fields and forests left unattended. For the suburban couple, with no experience in farming (she was an accountant and he was a doctor), this was truly a calling with a mission.

Farm Life Travel Tips

Owens Farm in Sunbury, Pennsylvania

David and Caroline Owens bought their first farm in 1992 in Pelham, NH as a place to raise their kids and grow their own food. Caroline was a former vocational agriculture teacher with a degree from Cornell now working for a feed company; David was a biomedical engineer with a degree from Boston University. Soon enough, friends and neighbors were asking to buy meat from them. They were on the cusp of the local, pasture-raised food movement raising sheep, pigs, cattle, chickens, and turkeys. They jumped all in.

Snow Day!

You may not know that the Farm Stay U.S. HQ farm is located in the pacific northwest, in a part of Oregon that is generally pretty mild, weather-wise. We get a lot of rain (the farm stay host here says spring is lambing season, and fall/winter is mud season), but only occasional snow.
