Because of our location near State Forest lands, visitors will see wild as well as domesticated animals. He admits that a weekend or week on a working farm is not for everyone. We cater to families and kids, to groups such as the Scouts, church groups or youth groups, and couples looking for a quiet weekend retreat. Quiet, however, doesn't mean inactive or boring. Activities at the farm range from hiking and fishing to paddle boating.
Visitors enjoy hayrides, cookouts, tours of the local countryside and, of course, the farm itself.
Permanent residents include chickens, cattle, geese, pigs, sheep, peacocks, horses, rabbits and ducks, all of which are fed twice a day by farm staff and guests who would like to help. Many of the cabins have kitchens for individual use, and group meals are often prepared on site at the facilities professional kitchen. The Mountain Dale Farm is one of 25 family farms listed with the Pennsylvania Farm Vacation Association, Inc. , providing a unique get-away from city living. Inc. Web site.
