Come celebrate the last days of summer before school starts in the little piece of paradise we call home.
The Farm is a great place to enjoy life. There is so much to take in, from the beauty of nature to the myriad of dynamic social activities going on all the time. Get in on some maximum fun, Farm style!
The summer retreat is designed to give families a way to truly savor the Farm experience, with more time to relax, to build connections, to focus some quality time.
We'll spend the week swimming, hiking, listening to and playing music, enjoying really great food and each other's company.
I've designed the week to give you maximum rest and relaxation, with a full complement of adult and kid activities - something for everyone.
Come for all 5 days
or just the weekend!

I look forward to hearing from you.

The Buffalo River is one of the last unspoiled rivers in the country, with no industries, only farms and forests along its shores.
Those who can stay through Sunday have the option of joining members of Swan Trust for our annual canoe trip.
It is a wonderful and relaxing experience,
a fantastic way to get away from it all.
Canoe rental is not included in registration fee.
Canoes rent for $20 each and hold 3 people. |
