On our recent West Sonoma trip, an incredible find was Full House Farm, where we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Studio Cottage. Cozy, comfortable, fully fitted out and perfectly sited on a secluded, wooded slope on a working, organic farm west of Sebastopol.
Included in the very reasonable rate was a farm tour by owner Christine Cole. Christine really took the time to tell us about and introduce us to her animals, and really let us interact with them, and answer all of our questions. She clearly loves her animals and caring for and sharing them with her guests.
We talked in the stables as she led her horses in and fed them, we helped to feed the chickens, and Willow and Oreo, her two goats, nuzzled like puppies eager to be scratched. We can't wait to go back and learn how to milk them.
Christine also keeps sheep and has plenty of wild turkeys roaming her fields.
It was such a treat to stay right on the farm and get an introduction to farm life, and also be some place so quiet, removed, and relaxing. We didn't do much beyond walking the farm and country roads, visiting the animals, listening to the birds, sipping wine on the deck, watching the fog and sunsets, and soaking in the hot tub each day of our stay.
