When I came to Us from Argentina, my boyfriend own a piece of land. When i moved here we decided to buy the rest 44 acres. We are a family of 3 living in Warren, Vermont. 25 goats, 10 chicken, 2 dogs, Constancia, Lucia and Kevin. 8 years ago a friend gave us a belly goat, we called him Manolo. Then another friend gave us 3 girls, Maybe, Maggie and Ginger. Ginger was the mom, and they gave us 2 babies the first year. Sesame and Manolito, since then, we have been growing and growing, having now, 25 goats, milking 10 mothers, by hand. With all the fun, that is involve with a farm, we have been making cheese in our kitchen and building a barn. It is time to get the license, for cheese making, and here is when we need your help. We need 20.000 to finish building the barn, with a kitchen, a bathroom, an industrial pasteuriser, a septic system, and much more. That is why we are asking you to chip in a help us finish our dream. If you will like to support small farming please learn about our La Lu farm go to go fund me, We have been doing a CSA, in wich Constancia drives around her Suburu and delivers the cheese, to many awesome supporters at the farm. We are truly greatfull, for their support, but we need more. We need you! Chip in, share with a friend, stop by, try our cheese, be a part of our dream. Luckily we have been able to share our farm, with many woofers, with many schools, yurt lovers and community members, that enjoyed coming to the farm and learn how to milk, how to make cheese, and how to take care of the grapes. La Lu farm: Local Agricultural land use on lincoln Gap rd La Lu farm is a small goat farm located in the green mountains of Vermont , in Warren. The Argentinean Constancia Gomez and Ex Sugarbush executive chef Kevin Ritchie innovate everyday with new recipes coming up with the best fresh goat cheese flavors in town. We are artisan cheese producers. We are farming 48 acres mostly wooded both sides of Lincoln Brook, on Lincoln Gap rd. We are reclaiming some meadows. We have 26 goats, 20 chickens. Milking now 10 mothers by hand, making cheese in small batches fresh, every day. We make 7 types of cheeses: Chevre, mozzarella, feta, queso blanco, apple wood smoked queso blanco, type of Manchego, and a ripened cheese. Our goal is to preserve and protect the land while using organic principles to produce products for local consumption and enjoyment. Our Chèvre is a fresh, smooth creamy goats spread, with a little bit of tang with hints of berry bushes and clover. Great for appetizers, to mix with herbs, spread on toast with butter, to add to scramble eggs and much more! Our queso blanco is spanish for white cheese, latin america specialty. This cheese is a firm cheese, with a fresh mildly sweet flavor. Great for cooking! Does not melt while fried or grilled! Take on the flavor of the food and spices in a recipe! Our Apple wood smoked queso blanco is spanish for white cheese and is marinated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt. Great for cooking, for appetizers and for salads. Our Feta is strongly flavored salted cheese, originated in Greece. Often crumbled in little pieces on salads or tacos. Our goat Mozzarella is a firm style cheese with with a slight tang. Good on pizzas, flat bread or marinated with basil and tomatoes. Thanks for supporting local farmers. Stop by for a mate, and pet the goats, milk them, feed them and share the love for nature.

Camping with the LaLu goats

La Lu Farm Goat Yurt

We had so much fun! The goats were so friendly and came up to us every morning. The views were beautiful and Kevin and Constancia made us feel welcomed and comfortable. I would bring shower shoes for the shower and a flashlight if you plan on coming because it gets very dark at night. 10/10 would reccomend for a weekend getaway.

Idyllic views and goats!

La Lu Farm Goat Yurt

My second time at La Lu Farm! The owners were a little surprised to see me, as Hipcamp hadn't notified them I'd book a stay, so it might be a good idea to check with them before arriving. I was lucky: no one else was staying already, and they were kind enough to welcome me. Mid-October can be pretty chilly in Vermont, but I was toasty warm with a wood stove and a couple extra blankets. Mornings, I built a fire outside to make coffee and eggs and watched the sunrise. I'd just wanted to be alone for a couple days, so I lazed about, reading books and walking down to the river and, of course, watching the goats, but there are nearby trails to hike and a town to visit, should you be so inclined. Although you're really not alone in the wilderness, it feels like you are; the yurts (there are two, not close together) are both downhill from the farm itself and through the trees, so your entire view is either forest or meadows rolling down to the river, then of the state park's forest rising up. It's peaceful and absolutely gorgeous. (And if you let them, at least two goats will try to nibble your books and your cookware!)

Amazing fall camping experience

La Lu Farm Goat Yurt

Absolutely incredible stay at Lalu farm!! We arrived late our first night, so didn’t get a chance to see the property very well, but woke up to the most amazing views we’ve ever encountered. We could not stop talking about how beautiful the property was throughout the entire trip. The goats were so friendly, very welcoming to pets and would follow you around as your explored the property. The owners were also very kind and accommodating, just the perfect balance between making sure we had what we needed for a comfortable stay while also allowing us all the privacy we wanted. We also payed for the firewood bundle which was so worth it, we woke up our first morning to a mountain of firewood outside the yurt. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique camping experience, especially during the fall to see the foliage. Already looking forward to a trip next year!!

Beautiful Nature and Cozy Yurt!

La Lu Farm Goat Yurt

Constancia's land is beyond beautiful, a little slice of heaven tucked in the Vermont hill's. The yurt was absolutely adorable and cozy. When the nights got cold we lit the fire inside and it felt like we were little hobbits in the shire. There is also a cool skylight in the yurt that lets you star gaze or watch the clouds pass. The yurt is tucked into the woods at the base of a mountain and it just feels amazing, you feel like you are far away from civilization and taking a step back into time. I stayed before I ran the Mad Marathon in Waitsfield and it was perfect, so much better than an inn or hotel in my opinion. If you're looking for somewhere to take a deep breathe and unwind and get away, Constancia's yurt is the place to do it. There is also a wonderful winding little stream not far from the yurt that was so fun to go down and watch all the wild life and dunk our toes into. It was so fun and cute to watch the goats meander to and fro, munching and chomping on the grass. Spending a long weekend at Constancia's was absolutely wonderful and it's an experience I will never forget and hope to experience again in the future. Highly, highly recommend.

Lovely experience overall

La Lu Farm Goat Yurt

It was a very unique place to stay. The yurt was comfortable and big enough to stand in it. The transparent bubble at the top offered a gorgeous view on the stars at night, we were amazed by the fireplace in the yurt, this was just so romantic and the goats were absolutely adorable. The landscape is beautiful and it is the calmest place on earth. The indications to access the site shared by Constancia were clear enough. On the down side, I must mention a few things that bugged me : we were not in the yurt you can see on the pictures as this one is being renovated and the one we stayed in is not as nicely located as the one you can see. I came for the yurt, the goats and the cheese : there was no cheese at all. The goats aren't milked anymore and no cheese is produced since the pandemic. I found it very disappointing as this is not what was advertised. No bedding is provided : you have a bed and that's it. You need to bring your own pillows, your own duvet and your bed sheets. I think for the price, it could at least be provided... We were not allowed to bring wood from outside and had to pay 20$ per night if we wanted wood, which is totally exaggerated in my personal opinion. Other than that, I need to say we had a very pleasant stay, it was relaxing, and we totally enjoyed the experience. I just think that it is a bit overpriced when looking at what is advertised and what is expected as a guest for such a price (pillows, duvet, wood).
