Amazing Farm Stay
We LOVED this site! To start, I absolutely adored the animals. Each one is so cute, and there was such a variety. The bull had to be my favorite! The site was super clean and had amazing amenities. A flushing toilet was a really pleasant surprise. The pond site was nice, open, and close to everything. The wooded sites give you a little more privacy or room for a group. Nick and Dylan were super responsive and so nice. We will absolutely be back and with friends this time! Would be awesome to rent all of the sites and have a friend or family weekend. Thank you so much!

An incredibly peaceful campground. I can't overstate how beautiful and calm. The animals are incredible and obviously very well cared for. My daughter loved feeding them..This was a very special place.

We had an absolute blast during our stay! The spot was secluded enough but just a short distance from our car and the animals. Our toddler couldn’t have had more fun saying hello to each of the animals every morning, which was such a fun addition to a typical camping trip. Nick was a gem, so helpful and kind and let us do our thing. We will definitely be back :)

Life at the Retreat
From sunrise to sunset, there is always something to enjoy. Here is a glimpse of what awaits you.
On the land
Sustainable Stays, Peaceful Days
We believe in leaving the land better than we found it. From our organic garden to our thoughtful stewardship, we are committed to creating a space that is good for you and good for the earth.
- Organic garden: greens, tomatoes, peppers and more, grown in a 200 foot greenhouse and a one acre plot.
- Leave no trace: bins for trash, recycling and compost at every site.
- Pollinator friendly: an apple orchard and open meadow for the bees.
What we grow
Lettuce varieties, cherry tomatoes, and a proper amount of kale
The crop list is not complicated and that is on purpose. Lettuce varieties, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkins, arugula, kale and peppers, grown, picked and delivered close to home in Livingston Manor.
We started our first growing season in 2026, and the greenhouse and garden are still expanding as we learn what this ground does best.
We also rent out garden plots on the property for the season if you would rather grow your own. See garden plot rentals.
