Cancellation Policy Update
Cancellation Policy Update We had adjusted our cancellation policy to be very flexible during the pandemic, as planning travel was complicated and could be up-ended at any time. Rather than adding to people's stress about potentially being stuck with a room they didn't need, we felt it would be better to just allow cancellations up until the night before their stay. Now that things are returning to normal, we are putting our original seven-day cancellation policy back in place for reservations made on or after August 1st, 2021. Travelers who do not cancel seven days prior [...]
Shop Assembly
Fixing up our new greenhouse! Tragedy struck last year (well, in farm terms) when the brutally heavy and wet snowfall caused our greenhouse to collapse. It was especially frustrating because we had parked our truck and other equipment inside to keep it safe from the storm! After spending a couple of months tearing it down when we had the time, we have finally moved on to install a new greenhouse, combined with storage space for equipment and room for a shop. We purchased two high-cube containers, and placed them about 20 feet apart. We [...]
The Kent Falls Brewery Tasting Room has Reopened!
Kent Falls Tasting Room Re-Opens! The tasting room at Kent Falls Brewing Company, that we share the property with, has officially reopened as of today! For now, Saturday/Sunday from 12-5 you can enjoy a tasty beverage at the outdoor tables, served by a terrific staff. Everyone has been looking forward to this for a long time, so now if you stay you'll have a chance to taste and purchase their many fine brews.
Out to Pasture
Out to Pasture We finally got our pigs out of their winter area today! There's Big Mama with her adopted children out at the back of the west pasture. This is how we keep our animals happy and content - loads of fresh plants and grass for them to root around them. Pigs are basically four-legged non-stop rototillers, and if you go see the ground after just a couple of days, you'll know exactly what I mean! On the farm, we move our animals to fresh pasture every few days, depending on how big the area is [...]
Piggies are here!
Look who just got here! For those of you who have been following our saga of trying to get some baby pigs on the farm, Big Mama was unfortunately not pregnant. It was our first time to try and raise our own babies, so we were disappointed but not surprised (I'm sure Bailey tried his best). We'll give it another shot next year. Fortunately, we had a backup plan - pigs from Niegocki Farms, which arrived on Saturday! Six beautiful babies, about eight weeks old. We kept them separate from Big Mama for a few days, [...]
Snow…
Snow... Snow...more snow...endless snow... Another five wet, fluffy, inches. Oh, to be a duck! Ducks don't care about no stinking snow.
Happy Holidays
Happy Holidays! Anh and I don't need to tell everyone what a crazy year this has been - we are all doing our best to muddle through it. It's been hard on the restaurant, hospitality, and healthcare businesses across the board. We know that we are fortunate to be healthy and safe, but our hearts go out to those who are not quite so lucky. 2021 can only be an improvement. We look forward to reopening the Inn and welcoming guests to our lovely little spot on the farm soon. Until then, be thankful for what you have [...]
