SiloSide Barn and Homestead

The SiloSide barn and homestead is better known around town as the "Old Somers Farm" in reference to the day when the barn housed 60 head of cows. The farm was a part of the Cabot Creamery Cooperative, and closed this era in the late 1980s. Prior to being a dairy farm consisting of over 500 acres, the property served as a tavern, inn, tannery, and has always been a traditional, well-loved farmhouse. Our farmhouse was built in 1785, and the barn built around the 1830s and expanded in 1941. The soil here is rich, and the forest full of wildlife. We've named our home "SiloSide" as tribute to the magic we feel on the non-road facing, silo-side of the barn, where you'll be camping.

Islands Base Camp

Conserved by the South Hero Land Trust, the historic Sawyer Bay Farm on the Island of South Hero was converted to grazing beef cattle.

 Our farm name is Health Hero Farm.

We practice intensive planned grazing, moving the cattle daily to fresh grass. The herd may be near the campsites or completely out of sight, somewhere on our 180 acres.

While we were building a house, we camped in the equipment shed during the summer and grew to value its convenience.

Joan's enjoyment of cycling inspired her to designate the farm stand as a "bike stop" where visitors could buy a snack, get water, fix their bikes and use the unique islands amenity of a composing toilet in a converted ice fishing shack.

South Hero is an agricultural island, as well as a summer tourist destination with numerous outdoor activities.

 It is also only a half-hour away from Burlington, and the drive is pleasurable.

Pitch your tent, stow your gear under cover and explore all the islands have to offer. Yes, this is a summer destination, with great cycling, boating and swimming. We are a grass-fed beef operation, Health Hero Farm, on the island of South Hero.

 (You can read more about us on our farm website. )

Our farm is on the bike route around the islands, with access to many other vacation activities.

Pitch your tent in the farmstead or in half of our empty equipment shed 30' x 60'.   Or tool on down the farm road and be alone with the cattle and grass. In the shed, which is open on the north side, you have shelter from the rain, sun and wind. We have two campsites that can share a microwave, hot plate, refrigerator, camp sink and coffee maker in the barn. Lots of storage under roof for bikes and luggage. Our composting toilet (from Natures Head Composting Toilet) is a unique amenity -- installed in a retired ice-fishing shack (on skis).

During the busy summer months, we may have a port-o-let (a.k.a. port-a-potty) with professional service.

  

In the winter, the equipment shed is not available.  We rent out vehicle and boat storage in the equipment shed and cannot accommodate camping there.  However, we have ample parking for RVs at any time of the year.  And if you are an experienced snow camper, we have several locations to choose from.

We have a farm stand where you can buy a few snacks.

 If you want to try our beef, we'll be happy to show you our freezers.

We are 2 miles from a convenience store that packs an amazing array of products into a small space. We are close to a gem of a public beach, a winery (Snow Farm Vineyard), apple orchards, a public school playground,
and miles of scenic driving.

 Local farmers markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays offer some of the best produce from these agricultural islands. We also own 1000' frontage on Lake Champlain, which you may enjoy.   It is difficult to access, but affords privacy and serenity.

We allow campfires on the gravel areas of the farm and on the beach, where you can gather dead wood.

 If you want to host a large group, you will need to reserve both campsites and rent a port-o-let (Vermont's lingo for porta-potty) if we don't already have one. Additional fees might apply. There is no RV electrical hookup; however, the equipment shed has electric outlets for your use. Additional fees apply for energy intensive appliances, such as heaters or air conditioners.

 There is no water hookup; however, we can fill your tanks with a hose from a potable water supply. Generators are not allowed, unless you are sufficiently distanced from other campers and our neighbors. Other accommodations may be available. Just ask!

 We have many resources, and want you to have a great visit.

There are multiple apple orchards on the island that we couldn't pass up!

Moose Meadow Lodge & Treehouse

Willie Docto and Greg Trulson are committed to providing a comfortable, fun, and make-yourself-at-home atmosphere at the Moose Meadow Lodge & Treehouse. The two met in 1992 at a log home B&B in West Virginia and have stayed at many B&Bs and log lodges ever since. In 1996, these former Washingtonians moved to Vermont to pursue their dream of owning a B&B. They bought a single-family home on 86 acres, and after a couple of years of research, planning, fishing, hunting and renovating, they opened the Moose Meadow Lodge in October of 1998 and added the Treehouse in 2012.

Sandiwood Farm Stay Experiences

Atop a hill in northern Vermont the farm property is made up a rolling hay field, organic vegetables, flowers, herbs, and old hardwood maple forest where we produce maple syrup. The sunsets are some of the best in Vermont!

Sandiwood Farm produces artisan maple syrup and grows organic produce, flowers, cannabis, hemp and other herbs. They also host farm dinners, weddings, and other events. 

You can get your hands dirty and work on the farm if you're interested. This is a 420 friendly farm with samples and tastings. 

35 years ago, Bob and Sara Schlosser were married in the barren field that is now Sandiwood Farm.

They have slowly built their home, farm, business and raised a family.

Or skip the picnic table and drop a blanket. 

The first thing you'll see when you pull into the long drive ways, the most adorable farmstand. 

In the woods on the side of the tiny house, you'll find the maple orchard and sugar shack 

Sara was very warm and informative about the farming process with my daughter. 

Perfect little nook to grab a snack. The interior was simple and sweet. A place to lay your head to rest and a place to share a meal with someone special. 

A functioning farm, you'll see a few visitors at the greenhouse coming to pick up produce. 

New Leaf Organics

We've been farming here for 16 years, growing 5 acres of vegetables and flowers, all marketed within 50 miles of the farm. The farm sits on 90 acres right up against the Hogbacks and is only 5 miles from quaint Bristol village and tons of outdoor recreation opportunities.

Our cozy, private, rustic mountain yurt is a 30’ foot space located in an upper field tucked into a wooded hillside. Views facing east are great for watching the sunrise and a kitchen and outhouse mean you’ve got everything you need to get out of town for a few days.* The location provides a serene, intimate getaway for couples, artists or anyone looking for a bit of mindful downtime and introspection. The yurt is insulated and heated by a wood stove. It is equipped with a full-sized bed, couch, breakfast table with four chairs and night table. Linens included.

Surrounding fields are available for tent camping should you want to host a larger event and use the yurt for its kitchen and gathering space (the furniture can be removed). The yurt and its verdant surroundings are great for day-long wellness retreats, sound baths, yoga workshops, art classes and more.

This is a perfect relaxation spot for bikers and hikers - Just beyond the yurt you can enjoy, or even help to improve newly constructed mountain biking trails Addison County Bike Club’s members have been working on. Rivers and lakes with swimming holes are an easy drive away, as is the charming mountain village of Bristol, with a fully stocked supermarket, two breweries, restaurants of all price ranges, shops and more. We are 30 minutes from the Burlington International Airport, and the closest Amtrak train station in Rutland is an hour drive.

It is best to arrive before sunset. Please do not arrive in the middle of the night.

The yurt is insulated and heated by a wood stove so it stays cozy in the colder months.
