Since Massachusetts opened up short-term rentals  we are back to mostly normal operations. I say “mostly” because of ongoing concerns about COVID-19, especially the Delta variant which is on the rise in Massachusetts and many other states. Although we respect everyone’s right to privacy  when it comes to medical information, we ask potential guests to either provide evidence of vaccination or of a negative Covid test within 72 hours of arrival. Although our family is fully vaccinated, to protect everyone, face coverings and social distancing is required of non-vaccinated/tested guests on the farm if in contact with us or other guests/neighbors. Non-vaccinated/tested guests will still be able to observe and interact with us, our dairy goats, and Norwegian Fjord horses outdoors, but will no longer be able to access interiors of the barn and maple sugarhouse as before, because social distancing is impossible in such confined spaces.

However, the farm is 130 acres, so there are lots of places to explore that will not require coverings. No other guests will have been in your accommodations for at least 2 hours before your arrival, and the house itself and all linens and towels will have been appropriately cleaned according to State guidelines. In addition, we will provide hand sanitizer and chlorine spray solutions for your use when here. We also will be happy to share produce from our gardens and provide you with a 1/2 dozen to a dozen farm fresh eggs from our hens.
