Highland cattle graze at the forest's edge on our Celtic-heritage farm: a gentle retreat with options for woodland wandering, farm-fresh breakfasts (weekdays only, must be requested one week in advance), and campfires complete with traditional Gaelic music! Our 40-acre farm includes heritage-breed animals, organic gardens, and over 30 acres of conservation woodlands. We favor scythes over tractors--your stay will be quiet and fume-free! Bradbury Mountain and several trail networks are nearby, along with rivers, ocean beaches, and an excellent locavore food scene. Since the early 1800s, this land on the edge of Chandler Brook has nourished bodies and spirits alike. Sloping pastures meet well-managed woodlands, making this a haven for both humans and wildlife. Since the 1980s, we have worked to restore the soil and make a "hand-built" life as farmers using pre-industrial organic methods. We maintain pollinator habitats, tend an orchard of heirloom-variety fruit trees, and conserve rare heritage-breed animals, including Tamworth pigs and Scottish Highland Cattle. Our shared love for Celtic folk culture has blended naturally with our love of sustainable agriculture to create Tir na nOg Farm. Today, the work of restoration continues with the help of farm partners, family, friends, WWOOFers, and other volunteers. This land is already better than we found it, but we hope it will remain a gathering-ground of culture and agriculture, tradition and innovation for generations to come.

The Hobbit House at Tir na nOg Farm
The Hobbit House was great! Very spacious and I could stand up inside! It’s a great property and it was so lovely and relaxing.

Campsite 1 - Pilgrim's Rest
The site one is very close to the road and not very private.There is only one community fire pit. They have a main out house that fills quite quickly but doesn’t get dumped. They gloat about using the human waste for compost maybe that’s why they let the waste fill to the top.

Campsite 2 - Woodland Den
The farm was lovely with lots of well cared for animals. The site itself was just the right size with trees for our hammocks. Check-in and tour was simple and easy. Would love to come back!

Campsite 4 - Gathering Glade
Excellent site and location
We had a great time at Holly's land. The campsite was spacious, the farm animals were cute, and the people were very nice. They showed us great hospitality. And the location is a good if you want to take a short trip to Portland or Freeport.

Such a beautiful farm! The baby pigs were definitely a highlight of the trip, so cute. We had a group of six and were able to fit three backpacking tents at our site. Holly and company were very accommodating and friendly hosts. Would definitely visit again!
