Farm Crawl
Big Picture
Hours: Saturday-Only, June 29, 10am-3pm
This is a very small way of us giving back to our community.
We are not receiving any $$$ from the farm crawl.
We want everyone to have a safe, fun time.
We do ask that you respect all posted signs, and
ALL DOMES ARE OFF-LIMITS. WE HAVE GUESTS IN EVERY DOME.
Important: This is a public stream. Enter at your own risk.
Dragonstone Hunt
- Park off the road (do not block the road, it is a state road and you may be towed)
- obey all signs
- ALL DOMES ARE OFF LIMITS, we have guests in every dome.
Dragonstones are typically found along the stream's edge wherever river gravel is found.
Generally (but not always) they are ping-pong ball sized and may be perfectly smooth, almost glassy––––or smooth with Alligator skin-crackled-texture.
Some people choose to wade in the stream while hunting, and some people choose to walk along the streams edge.
Here are some examples of Dragonstones recently found in our stream.
Dragonstones
Important: we recommend long sleeves, long pants and closed-toed shoes. Blackberry plants have thorns and they aren't afraid to use them. STAY ON MOWED PATHS.
Blackberries
- Park on an angle so that your car is just out of the road.
- Do not turn around in the grass,
- Do not go more than 1 car length into the grass.
Tips for picking: PARK and FOLLOW ON FOOT THE PURPLE ARROW EVENT SIGNS
Ripe Blackberries will fall easily off the plant with a gentle tug. Ones that you have to pull hard on are NOT ripe enough and will likely be very sour.
We recommend tasting a few to get the hang of it, before picking en masse. A fully ripe berry will be softer and easily picked from the plant.
Blackberries can be used as a dye, they will stain clothing.
Please respect the 1 gallon limit so there are berries for everyone. Later in the day you may need to venture farther into the bramble to find ripe berries.
DOMES ARE OFF LIMITS
Overall Rating
A great couples getaway for any occasion, with other domes large enough for families. We enjoyed quietness and privacy at our dome with great sunset and mountain views. The owner communicated everything clearly about check in/check out and about anything and everything we needed while there. You can tell great thought was put into the glamping experience.
Oh my gosh. A real glamping style. Wanted to stay longer.... so relaxing and its booked so fast!!!
Place was amazing! My family loved it, highly recommend this place. Showers were great, beds were super comfortable....enjoyed all of it.
This place exceeds our expectations. My husband and BIL were not fans of camping/glamping in general but they fell in love with this place. It’s pretty, so very cool (just look at our night view), unique, has so many things to do. I’m writing this review on our first night here as we’re impressed by the thoughtfulness, sweet, kindness of this place’s owner. They are absolutely generous and so easy to work with. We will come back again, that’s for certain!
The best 10th anniversary trip, thank you for such a rememberable experience!
This was such a unique fun adventure. From check in to check out everything is so well thought out, and the attention to detail every single step of the way made everything flow so easily. It was a little chilly (in the 20s at night) and we were well equipped to stay cozy between the heaters, heated bed, and optional heated blankets we did not feel the cold. We noted there is also air conditioning available which I could see being convenient in warmer times. The privacy and views are spectacular. We received a text message prior to arrival with very detailed arrival instructions and FAQ, easily accessed our find cart and dome, and were able to enjoy our stay. The day of check out we received a text message with instructions and helpful hints, the dome was well equipped with everything we needed and more! There were farm fresh eggs in our fridge when we arrived which were delicious and easy to enjoy with the kitchen set up available in the dome. I would absolutely recommend this and we will certainly be returning!
