Come walk the Pond and Hemlock Creek Paths, breathe in the fresh air, create an Epicurean delight in the Kitchen, outdoor Grill or Fire Pit by the pond, enjoy the magnificent sunsets, take a dip in the pond, fish, recreate, rest and restore. Summer is a wonderful time to experience the Farm's dramatic forested walkways, the soft light of long summer days and the joy of walking the paths around the pond and hearing the gentle bubbling of the winding creek along the Norwegian Pine Trail.
Wrap up your day with a fire by the pond, (firewood is provided at no charge) or settle in with your favorite evening libation on the deck while watching wonderful sunsets reflect on the pond via the expansive westward views.
