This farm is set on a steep, rocky hillside overlooking a forested valley. Just beyond the farmhouse, the ground falls away steeply and you can barely see to the bottom of the ravine, where another mountain rises just as severely, filling up the horizon.
Okay, it’s not the Himalayas, but it’s an incredibly beautiful, secluded corner of western Massachusetts. The hill above the road is figured with large stone terraces. At the edge of the rise stands a tall stupa (Tibetan prayer shrine).
In large wire pens, or roaming about free, are animals such as Bactrian camels, Royal Pinto Yaks and Icelandic sheep and rams. Plus pigs, sheep and chickens, and a pet duck who swims around in a spectacular hand-laid slate fountain the size of a small pond.
