"The notion that living on a farm could
be a vacation is not new, but it's a concept whose time has arrived. Have
children ever been less aware of rural life" "...a destination where families can spend a week or a weekend experiencing
hands-on farm life." Weatherbury Farm Vacation 1061 Sugar Run Road Avella, Pennsylvania 15312 Phone: (724) 587-3763 E-mail: info@weatherburyfarm.com Hosts: Dale, Marcy & Nigel Tudor |
Children who stay for two or more nights are invited to
participate in our “Official Weatherbury Farm Kid” program. Each family receives
a packet (filled with coloring and activity books) about farming. Younger
children do chores and complete a picture worksheet; older children have fun
doing chores and learning with our "Farm Workbook."
Children of all ages will enjoy helping Farmer Dale with morning chores. They will become acquainted with goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, geese, sheep and cattle. Weatherbury is a working farm. Nestled amid the serenity of 100+ acres of rolling farmland in Southwestern Pennsylvania, Weatherbury Farm is a quiet place, far from the madding crowd, where meadows and gardens, fields and valleys, cows, sheep and chickens combine to create a perfect setting of tranquil relaxation. Here the gentle amenities of life are still observed. |

sunrises make a stay here truly a peaceful and relaxing experience. At day's end, one can take in the dance of the fireflies from the porch swing. There are many activities 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.

vacation. Whether guests prefer the greening spring, languid summer afternoons,
colorful autumn foliage or winter-white mornings, they will delight in a stay at
