About this property

A comfortable stay on a sustainable family farm

When visiting our farm, you may get the opportunity to: frolic with goats, watch baby animals being born, feed the pigs, learn about natural fiber, walk through the flower fields, go for a mushroom hike, snuggle doggies, eat fresh garden veggies, sit by a campfire, and so much more!
Stay in comfort and quiet in our newly constructed "country chic" barn loft which includes a full kitchen, spacious bedroom, full bath, all basked in warm natural light from the south-facing windows. Explore and learn on our farm or easily travel to many of Humboldt's spectacular attractions.
The barn loft is up a short staircase and very well insulated from farming operations. Reclaimed old-growth wooden details frame the country charm, combined with modern amenities. Heated by a thermostat regulated pellet stove and cooled by a big ceiling fan. Cook your breakfast on the fully restored 1930's Spark gas stove using fresh organic produce and eggs available seasonally for purchase from our farm. The master bedroom sits just off the living room and is equipped with a queen-sized bed and 2 pull out single beds. The couch in the living room also opens into a queen bed. High-speed Wifi is available and T.V. entertainment is located in the office nook. Situated on the north side of the barn, there is a spacious outdoor setting where you can lounge in the sun, climb tree stumps, greet our animals, enjoy a campfire, and take in the scenery. Take a self-guided stroll around the property or make an appointment for a detail tour and introduction to our working farm.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah J Brunner

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Sarah and my husband Matt and I have enjoyed living in Humboldt County for over 20 years. We are currently raising our 2 young children on our organic farm in Fieldbrook, while Matt also works at Cal Poly Humboldt (formerly Humboldt State University). Matt and I originally moved to Arcata to attend the university, but stayed long after graduating because of our love for the local culture, environmental beauty, and the creative and friendly people of Humboldt County. Matt is an accomplished musician with a strong passion for acoustic old time country and bluegrass. He's a member of the beloved "Striped Pig String Band" who regularly organize and play for barn dances all over the county. While staying with us, you may occasionally hear him playing his fiddle on the porch. As a student at HSU, I focussed my studies on sustainable agriculture and have applied all I learned and more to developing our little organic farm. For years I was involved in managing some of our local farmers markets, but now my time is entirely balanced between growing/marketing our products and being a full time mom! Down time is rare, but when it rains I also enjoy crafting, baking, and knitting. We all love enjoying the natural beauty of our county. Matt surfs at many of the local wild and challenging surf breaks, we often camp and hike in the summer, and sometimes make it up to the snowy mountains in the winter. But our favorite place is always back at home!

Why they chose this property

Our farm and community are the real deal. This is not a tv ready, pimped and primped, over manicured, high end spa resort in farmers clothing. We are a true working family farm with grit in our teeth and dirt under our fingernails. We produce quality produce, cut flowers, and fiber products for sale and it's our passion and livelihood. That being said, we do also have high standards for providing a high quality experience for our guests with a clean and well equipped accommodation, access to hands on farm experiences, and being available for local information and assistance. We LOVE to host. We love meeting and chatting with our guests and sharing in what we do here. We are happy to make time to give you a tour of the farm or give you all the privacy you want to explore on your own. Just let us know what you need and we're happy to oblige.

What makes this property unique

Where else can you stay where you can enjoy fresh eggs from the nest to the table, pet a goat on your way to the car, walk to local wine tasting, or take a quick drive to hike the tallest trees in the world? We know you'll have a great time on our farm while visiting Humboldt County.
