We began operating our 150 acre farm in 2011 and became the first Certified Naturally Grown Livestock farm in West Virginia in 2013. We raise 100% grass-fed beef, Western and Chinese medicinal herbs.  Our family garden supplies more than half of our vegetables and our favorite berries, and our flock of chickens supply eggs and an early morning wake-up call for our campers! There are no GMO's, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides used on our farm. We are 3 miles from Terra Alta, a rural town with a locally owned restaurant and a local craft beer brewery featuring an exciting rotating cast of food trucks. We are 20 minutes from Swallow Falls State Park (MD), featuring Muddy Creek Falls, awesome river swimming and gorgeous hiking in an old growth Hemlock forest.   We are also 20 minutes from Herrington Manor State Park (MD) were there is a lake for swimming, fishing, and canoeing.  Cathedral State Park (WV) a virgin Hemlock forest with 400 year old trees about 45 minutes away.  Deep Creek Lake (MD) is 40 minutes away and offers motor boat rentals, Golf, Skiing and swimming. There is skiing, hiking, biking, tubing, rafting, kayaking and much more to explore within 40 minutes of our farm. The best white water rafting on the east coast is 20-40 minutes away. Farm products are available for purchase on-site. Campers can choose to to have a farm to table meal cooked for them as an extra at checkout. We prepare most of our food from scratch using local produce, meat and bulk organic dry goods. We occasionally make yogurts, noodles, simple cheeses, and fermented foods. We welcome campers of all kinds!

Possum Farm Camp
Very pleasant experience overall! Definitely recommend participating in the farm work experience, we got to be up close with the cows to move their fences and feed them. The weather was relatively rainy but we still had a wonderful time, there are wildflowers all over with hummingbirds and all kinds of wildlife to admire. There is a beautiful country road leading in to the farm, and it is very quiet, too. Close to some great parks for day trips (Swallow Falls).

A pleasant site. Jennie greeted us upon our arrival and immediately made us feel welcome to the space. Although the actual site is fairly close to the house and farm, we never felt as if we were being intrusive or lacked privacy ourselves.

Beautiful drive and landscape. The hosts were helpful. There are 2 site very close together so I would check to see if a site is booked with big group. I was not prepared for that

We had a wonderful time at Pond Place. Directions were clear, communication quick and the welcome was friendly but not intrusive. We were left to our own devices with just the right amount of contact with our hosts. Our pitch was freshly mown and the facilities (shower and loo) were excellent; clean, novel and environmentally friendly. We would highly recommend and would stay again! Thank you pond place!

Wonderful little spot. Cleaner toilet and shower then any state campsite you'll find and the highlight for us was Bishop the farm dog
