Lauren Hartmann and Ted Bancroft wear their farm on their sleeves.
Do you ever find yourself with an abundance of produce from your CSA subscription and are not totally sure what to do with it all? Or, if you're a farmer -- maybe especially because you're a farmer -- you're more than set with a particular ingredient but short on ideas for how to prepare it in interesting ways again and again? We all have our favorites, but variety is always good and reducing waste is a big plus! The USDA estimates that 21% of the available food supply is wasted in homes, but we know that supporters of working farms and ranches want to make a difference in this regard.
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.

** 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 **

Farm and ranch stays are generally a very family friendly vacation, and we tend to focus a lot of our attention on that.

I admit it... I can be a bit of a daydreamer. I guess, working on a farm, I should call it woolgathering. Helping to run the Farm Stay USA website is the perfect sort of job for doing a little in-my-head-dream-vacation planning, with so many beautiful photos of farms, ranches, and vineyards to admire.
