Memories Made

Memory Farm was the perfect setting for 4 generations to make memories. We loved the historical beauty of the farm house and barn. Thank you for being excellent hosts. We will miss Dill, Pickle, Bean and Spout!

Great place for family to just be together

The Goat House was the perfect place for our family of 11 people to stay. The property is spacious with plenty of nooks for conversation, play and of course fun petting and feeding the goats. The house was simply beautiful with a large family room, living room, dining room and kitchen. We could all hang out together or have space to spread out. Additionally the rooms where upstairs which allowed for quiet sleep if you needed a nap. I would highly recommend this property if you are a larger family group, or just friends who want and indoor and outdoor combo to relax at.

Wedding Central

We had 3 generations at the farm for a wedding for one of the youngest generation. The house was a wonderful place to stay & a great place for the wedding party to prepare. The bridesmaids loved enjoying the gardens, goats and chickens in their downtime. The photographer found numerous opportunities for stunning pictures of the bride, bridesmaids and family. it was an amazing place to prepare for the wedding. Thank you so much!!!

Amazing Experience!!

My sisters and I stayed at the house for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed this spacious, charming home. From the moment we arrived, we felt this was a special place. We hosted my niece's bridal shower is the "Memory Farm" barn and it could not have been more beautiful. The property was peaceful, charming and so different from a typical restaurant event. We were able to make it our own and share the day with our new goat pals who peeked through the window:) We had great communication throughout with our amazing host. I can't give a high enough review to the house and the property. Do not miss this experience!
