FAMILY FARM CAMPOUT DETAILS

The Family Farm Campouts are a weekend of fun on the farm, the ideal mini-vacation for the whole family.

Set up camp on your own little corner of Live Earth Farm, or sleep in our gorgeous haybale hales.

Pick your own in-season, organic fruits, vegetables and fresh eggs to supplement our fresh, seasonal family meals.

Enjoy group campfires complete with treats, songs, stories, laughter and new friends.

Give a family farm campout a try, rest, relax and spend time with your family away from the distractions of home.
