Shellbark Hollow Farm sits in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania and makes award-winning artisan goat cheeses from our own herd of purebred Nubian goats. Cheesemaker Pete Demchur operates this family run business, making handmade cheese on site.  At Shellbark, we believe that fresh, no-nonsense ingredients made with care contributes to an honest relationship between the food producers and the consumers of America. Thats why we’re proud to use all natural ingredients in our products, and work hard to have the milk processed and on the market in 7 days or less.  Recognized as one of Chester County’s oldest established artisan goat dairies, Shellbark Hollow Farm provides products to many chefs, fine restaurants, retail establishments, and local farmers’ markets throughout the tri-state area.

My second time on Peter’s land this season, and it’s been a joy each time! The large campsite is tucked away and feels private, the portapotty is close and clean, and the animals are so sweet! And the goat cheese Peter makes is incredible and made our campfire cooked omelettes even more special!

We had a lovely stay at Pete’s campsite. The main site was spacious and had plenty of room for my family and my friends. We brought the kids who had a lot of fun meeting the goats. The bathroom was clean and located directly next to the campsite.

Pete is amazing and farm is divine!
Pete is one of the loveliest humans I have ever met. It was a pleasure dealing with him. The farm is so calm amd peaceful, and we loved our private sites. The sounds of the animals were so amazing!! The outdoor beach style shower was divine. We had a really clean porta potty!!! There is another one up near the shower. I recommend camping here!

The best camping experience
Peter’s farm is a piece of heaven. We had such a wonderful time camping, exploring the farm, the kids helped feed the baby goats and the outdoor shower is top notch. Thank you Peter for your hospitality and for the beautiful goat cheese ❤️

Our family really loved the farm! This was our family's first camping experience, so it was a perfect spot. The kids loved wandering the farm and checking out all the animals. The actual camping spot was quiet, shaded, and felt very private. The restroom was clean. The location is convenient to Philly. Would love to return at some point. Thanks, Pete!
