Fat Sheep Farm in Hartland, VT Offers Farm Life Up Close and Personal

Fat Sheep Farm is owned and operated by farmers Todd and Suzy Heyman-Kaplan. Their farm is located just south of Woodstock, Vermont, folded into the picturesque New England countryside like the farms you see in magazines. We asked them a few questions we thought travelers might want to know about their farm and why they offer a farm stay in lovely cabins they built on property overlooking their fields.

Hidden away in the Blue Ridge Mountains: East Fork Farm, Marshall, North Carolina

Taking on a farm as a second career always seems like a good idea from afar, especially if the farm is in North Carolina and you are in New York. Well, maybe that isn’t quite fair. John and Mina Piraino were looking for a slower, more sustainable lifestyle as empty nesters, and the thought of working outside appealed to John, a mechanical engineer by training.

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.
