Info provided by host

Note from host

Currently no fencing. The big open areas are contiguous with neighbor properties, most unfenced, but one edge is a fenced cow pasture, which high jumpers might be able to clear, but unlikely. If your dogs respond well to voice commands, ...

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

we don't currently have any dogs (my sweet old girl, who was our chief deer deterrent, died a few years ago). our neighbors on both sides do, but we are so far apart, we rarely catch a glimpse of them.

HOST REPORTS

we have one cat, who has the run of the place. she's pretty self-contained and will make herself scarce as necessary, but if you know your dogs chase/hurt cats, just keep them leashed until you walk back to the open field. farm chickens and ducks are free ranging. dogs must be safe with the birds. the best open, free running, dog area (field) is far from the birds' typical areas, and you're encouraged to walk them back there on a leash, then "set them free." if your dog has any history of killing/ mauling birds, this is not the place for them. if you don't know how they will interact with birds, we can do a controlled, leashed introduction, and see how it goes!

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

from our back field, you can typically hear some neighbor activity (garden/yard work, etc) but only rarely see anyone. the neighbors on both sides do have small dogs. one side's neighbor is very friendly, the other side very private.

Description

This is an old farm, partly in production. Always pre-arrange a visit, no drop-ins. Great for curious explorers, great for dogs who respond well to verbal commands. NOT good for bolters or chicken-chasers. Lots of room to run, play frisbee/fetch, some areas fine for digging. Please help us deter deer😊

Hazards

HOST NOTE

This is an old farm , partially in production. I like to think we've found and removed all the old barbed wire, but occasionally more shows up. Dogs MUST be safe with free range chickens and ducks- i.e. NOT chase/hurt them and respond to verbal commands (e.g. NO, or STOP) in case they do get excited about a bird OR a planted space (don't worry, there is plenty of unplanted area nowhere near gardens, just planning for worst case scnarios). In my ideal world, lots of dogs come out in the early spring, pre-planting, and discourage deer! A crazy deer problem has evolved the past few years, and while we do plan to put up a serious fence, this website seems like a sweet way to bridge the gap until we can fence the gardens - hopefully a win-win!
