" 'We want people to
understand the source of their food' says Marcy Tudor of Weatherbury Farm"
The New York Times, May 6, 2007
" Less than an hour from Pittsburgh, this
grass-fed cattle and sheep farm has a children’s program that makes little
ones the right-hand helpers of Farmer Dale."

" You won't find anything as
close to your grandparents' farm."
Weekend Magazine, September 2006
"Frequently visitors are grandparents who bring their
grandchildren. It is a great way to interact while giving grandchildren the
opportunity to learn about how their grandparents grew up."

Grass Farmer,

"Trade in your yard work and
overscheduled weekends for a taste of the simple life."
Pittsburgh Magazine, August 2006
"Families rise and shine to
Marcy's cinnamon apple pancakes. Then it's off to feed cattle and
chickens.... Young guests can pet the billy goat, Gruff, romp with the
bunnies or take a dip in the pool."

There are
many activities right on the farm for the guest who wants to be busy,
and those who so desire can be busy doing nothing at all. Guests
may relax on the porches, picnic on the grounds, or enjoy the swimming
pool on a summer day (pool open memorial day to labor day).
Weatherbury Farm is set in an area of
natural beauty, which offers a stopping-off place for
exploring the many attractions of the area.
Pittsburgh, Washington PA and panhandle West Virginia are within easy
driving distance.
On select Friday and Saturday nights, Weatherbury Farm offers
either Farm Stays or Farm Stay Experience Weekends . During these
weekends, guests are invited to help Farmer Dale with
chores after breakfast. After chores, families
can enjoy life on the farm. Farm
Stay visitors are invited to participate in
our Weatherbury
Farm Kid's Program.
Many families have fun watching (from a
distance, of course) Farmer Dale & Farmer Nigel at work in the fields. Or
sometimes (more often than we like), they may be working on keeping our farm
equipment in good running order. Some families like to get their hands
dirty and help Marcy weed the garden! Some families choose to also
visit nearby attractions during their stay. Most
families, however, enjoy the opportunity to kick back and relax on the farm and
enjoy life in the slow lane.
Special events at
the farm include folk music jams and workshops. |
