Springtime = Baby Animals!

When it comes to farming, winter tends to be a welcome respite -- depending on where you live of course -- where planning for the next season by cozy fires is the standard. After so much time indoors though, many farmers look forward to "springing into action" when the cold begins to subside and they begin planting their seedlings in greenhouses and, of course, readying themselves for the onslaught of baby animals that are about to arrive!

We tried something a little different this time with our profile of Blind Buck Valley Farmstead! (It's our first time attempting a video blog, so please forgive a couple of moments where the sound dropped out a bit.)

Morning Song Farm, Rainbow, California

Morning Song Farm in Rainbow, California -- just in its name and location, already sounds like a place you might want to visit. Positioned between San Diego and Orange County, in the middle of Temecula/Fallbrook wine country and butting up to the Santa Margarita Reserve, the farm feels miles away from civilization when in fact it is only 40 minutes from the Pacific and an hour from the nearest airport.

Rêves de Moutons in Paso Robles, California

** This farm was not able to continue to offer lodging due to country regulations. However, we think they still make goats and we loved their photos so decided to keep the blog about their farm alive **

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.
