About the Farm
Background
The land was originally farmed beginning in 1780 by John Darling and his children. As the children grew and married, John gave them land to homestead. The land was later purchased by The Historic Pine Grove Springs Hotel on Lake Spofford, which used it to provide vegetables, beef, and lamb for its guests during the late 1800s through the beginning of the twentieth century.
Practices
The farm grows only what can be sustained within its 35 acres. Animals are fed naturally without hormones or medications. The farm sells pastured chicken and strictly grass-fed beef directly on the farm.
The Rest
Visitors can enjoy u-pick blueberries and are provided with a picnic basket for a nature hike in the forest with a day's notice. Overnights for couples can be arranged in advance. Guests are encouraged to bring children to visit the animals, pick blueberries, or hike to the beaver pond.
