Homestead and Farming

In the Homestead/Farming section, we include our activities related to farming. We include vegetable and small fruit sales, honey sales, and egg sales on this page. Additionally, we provide education and inspiration through blogs and videos. Topics include self-reliance, DIY, gardening, food preservation, beekeeping, livestock and poultry raising. We also cover other farming topics.

We do sell products at the farm. If you are within the area, check with us about what we may have in season. Check out our social media accounts for information about activities at the Homestead.

Sawmill and Firewood

The Sawmill/Firewood section includes information about rough cut lumber and milling. We saw hardwoods and often have cherry, poplar, walnut, oak, maple, and hickory in stock.

This page also has information about our firewood sales.

We discuss wood and tree related topics covering forestry to fine woodworking. We welcome those with shared interests.

The Raystown Lake section has information on boat and camper storage; off grid camping; and local area information. Our community is of utmost importance, and we want to welcome everyone to experience it. Our area is an outdoor person’s dream location. Raystown Lake is central to Pennsylvania.

Our self-serve Wood Shed is always open for those wishing to purchase camp fire wood. It is located at the corner of Sharman Lane and Dogtown Road (not far from Shy Beaver Boat Launch, Lake Raystown). We continually keep the wood bins stocked; even for the winter campers! Currently, camp wood is two splits for $1.00.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
- Henry David Thoreau
