B&B homesteaders

Opening up a bed and breakfast was the realization of a dream for us. Our long-term goal is to be self-sufficient (we're well on our way) and to be able to share the earth's bounties with our guests.

A magical winter wonderland

It's definitely winter at Brambleberry Bed and Breakfast. Large, heavy snowflakes fell the first weekend of December and coated the trees on our farm. With little wind and cold temperatures, for several days just looking out the window gave you a sense of being in a magical winter wonderland.
Guests sometimes ask us what winters are like since we live at the end of the road and we can get snowed in. We tell them it's wonderful.
With a four-wheel drive truck and a town that plows the road, we're never snowed up for long. But when you have four freezers full of food and a crackling log fire to keep you warm, watching the snow fall is very peaceful.
Here are some photos of our farm after the recent snow.

Our bluff hiking trail (above and below) was a path less traveled.
