Use the large barns, out-buildings and 1.5 acre fenced-in backyard to facilitate your next small gathering. We host family reunions, birthday parties, yoga retreats, work pow wows, think tanks, quincinieras, bridal showers, bachelor/bachelorette parties, wedding rehearsal dinners, baby showers or whatever your heart desires! Message us for details.

Situated conveniently near i88 & rt 47. Enjoy peace and quiet while relaxing in the company of goats and chickens on this 180 year old farm!


There is a 3 NIGHT MINIMUM for folks with 10+ guests.

There is a 4 NIGHT MINIMUM for those seeking to invite additional guests to the property (30 guest max)


Please pet our goats as much or as little as you like. They love the attention. They're names are as follows:

1. Dill (white with brown spots - the leader)
2. Sprout (largest black one with smaller head of white hair - the lover)
3. Pickle (smaller black one with thick head of white hair - the escape artist)
4. Bean (brown - the outcast)

You can give them some hay from the coachhouse (white building next to the main house) or leaves from around the yard.

Also don't forget to say hi to the chickens! Their coop is towards the back of the property near the goat shack. Feel free to bring them some of food scraps you may have. We also have a compost bin in the coachhouse as well (marked) in case you rather I give them the food. Also message me if you're interested in collecting eggs.

Amazing Experience!!
My sisters and I stayed at the house for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed this spacious, charming home. From the moment we arrived, we felt this was a special place. We hosted my niece's bridal shower is the "Memory Farm" barn and it could not have been more beautiful. The property was peaceful, charming and so different from a typical restaurant event. We were able to make it our own and share the day with our new goat pals who peeked through the window:) We had great communication throughout with our amazing host. I can't give a high enough review to the house and the property. Do not miss this experience!
