Hello! We are family farm mainly focused on Nigerian Dwarf and Mini-Nubian goats, Kunekune pigs, and silkie chickens! We also have a couple cows, peacocks, alpaca, ducks, quail, pigeons, sheep, mini equine, and rabbits. We can offer as much or as little farm experience as you’d like! Lend us a hand or book baby goat cuddling and sit in the pasture in a sea of friendly goats!! Baby goat cuddling and farm tours can be added on for an extra fee, check our extras! We usually get up early and do our farm chores, and depending on the time of year we could be bottle feeding baby goats or calves, delivering baby goats, or working on outdoor farm projects. Our home was built in 1864 and our barn is original! Our property is not far from Montpelier, the home of our 4th president, and about an hour from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. We love wine tasting in Charlottesville, and taking day trips to Shenandoah National Park. We are 45 minutes from Fredericksburg, 28 minutes from Culpeper, and 20 minutes from Lake Anna. Send us a message and learn more about all we have to offer!

We loved our stay! It was great to see so many animals, and our hostess went above and beyond while we were there. our site shared a toilet and shower with another site but we didn’t find it to be inconvenient. Thanks for having us!

Kid friendly animals!

Camping next to the goats and corn fields are what little boys dreams are made of! Great experience for petting all the friendly animals.

Cuddly goats

Laura was a formidable host and the farm offered great exploration for the little ones. The baby goats were adorable. Only stayed one night but we enjoyed our time at the farm. Excellent spot for animal discovery and pumpkin fun.

The host is very nice. There are a lot of animals at the farm - I recommend it for family trip especially with kids. However, for a one person camper who just wants some quietness, this isn’t the site. The two sites are right next to each other (with trees in between), and my site is almost in front of the host’s house. I can hear the other campers talk very clearly, and there weren’t rules about quiet hours so I stayed up until 2am when they were still talking. The other drawback was that the directions were not really clear. I can’t find written directions or signs on site that tell me where to go so I had to call the host when I arrived. In general, I recommend for families but I do not recommend for quiet/single campers.

We loved camping at Laura's magical farm. This is our second year back and it was just as perfect this year as it was the last time. The site was clean and there was plenty of fire wood for our fire pit. The farm is picturesque. Laura was responsive and great with the kids. We especially loved the baby goats. It was an authentic farm experience, with rustic accommodations and a good time for all.
