Feather Down – Back to basics fun for families.
Enjoy your own Feather Down farm stay adventure. [Read More]
Feather Down Farms are all small-scale family farms where the farmer and family play a passionate role in maintaining the rural landscape of their farm and surrounding communities. We strive to find farms on or near nature reserves, state or national parks and forests, conservation lands and the like. Select spots in New York and Illinois now offer unique farm getaways. Working farms provide the staging area for our Feather Down safari like nesting tents. Each location offers authentic, organic, back to basics fun for families. The units have no electricity, no televisions, video games, computers or even a telephone. Feather Down onsite staples include a lively animal paddock and chicken coop with laying hens. Several intriguing workshops and guest speakers – fun learning for all – are planned for each season. Topics include woodworking, sustainable farming, animal husbandry, and foraging.

Create your own Feather Down farm adventure. [Read More]
Our Farm is nestled in the northwest corner of the ruggedly beautiful Catskill Mountains, an unspoiled region rich of cascading waterfalls, meandering trout streams, dense forests, sparkling lakes, and lush valleys. Families will find loads of fun right on the rolling hills of Stony Creek Farm, collecting eggs from the free-range chickens, frying breakfast sausage made from Dan and Kate’s heirloom pigs or frolicking with the friendly sheep and turkeys. The Feather Down tents are located down a gentle hill from the historic red barn (which holds the Farm Store), in a shady green hollow right near the farm’s namesake — a meandering Stony Creek. The hamlet of tents encircle an inviting communal campfire. Feather Down onsite staples include a lively animal paddock and chicken coop with laying hens. Feather Down Farms (512) 485-3009 or online.
