| Cider Mill House is the Heart of Willow Run Farm, an active working farm. As such we encourage our guests to visit with the goats (Pygora fiber goats), chickens and Guinea Hens. We are home to a small herd of beef cattle which graze the property and we grow and cut our own hay.Many of the items on our breakfast menu come directly from our gardens and animals. While we are a mechanized farm today, Cider Mill House and farm are typical of the small farms of the past and present that contribute to the richness of our community. We are hands on farmers. Guests who are here in the spring or late summer may see us shearing the goats. The animals are fed twice a day and guests are invited to join us and learn about small farming. We have a large woodland area with nature trails and a variety of hardwood trees, wildflowers and plants. Guests are invited to walk these trails and the whole farm. In the Fall we have a large black walnut crop. Guests are welcome to take as many home with them as they wish. We have had many seminars here, including, dying fiber with natural plants gathered from the farm; FAMACHA training (goat parasite management) and stream water quality sampling certification classes. |
