Farm Activities
Here are some of the fun activities around the Farm.
Sport Court
There is a pickleball and basketball court by the barn that guests are welcome to use (balls and paddles are available). However, if there is a vehicle parked in front of the Cabin, please refrain from using the court so as not to disturb the ability for those guests to enjoy a peaceful stay. The pickleball net is movable if you are playing basketball.
Hiking
There are several trails through the woods that you are welcome to hike. A marked map is available inside the home.
Search for Arrowheads
The Tonkawa Indians lived in the Caldwell area. We and previous owners have found numerous arrowheads on the Farm, including the one pictured, which was found near the Cabin.
Star Gazing
The skies are very dark on the Farm without ambient light, so one is able to see many more stars, planets, meteors, the moon, satellites and the space station than one can see in an urban environment. Download the Sky Guide app to assist in your search of the nighttime sky.
Meet the Animals
We currently have seasonal cows, chickens, ducks and cats on the Farm--more information about the animals is at this link. You are welcome to get up close and personal with any of our animals (at your own risk). Feel free to enter the chicken coop to interact with the chickens and collect some eggs for breakfast!
Wildlife
You are likely to see a lot of wildlife on the Farm, including birds, deer, rabbits, racoons, opossums, armadillos, turtles and wild hogs (along with less enjoyable critters such as scorpions, red wasps, fire ants, snakes and black widow spiders).
Playground
There is a playground for kids or grandkids, complete with a trampoline (with water in the summertime), slides, swings, a fireman's pole, a rock climbing wall and a playhouse.
Garden
You are welcome to pick any fruits and vegetables around the home where you are staying. Time permitting, we would be glad to give you a tour of the the primary garden on the Farm.
Watch Sunsets
Some of the best sunsets can be seen from the Farm, with great views to the West.
Fishing
We have a small quarter acre pond with some fish if you want to try your hand.
Shopping
We have an online-only vintage and antique shop called Bonny Bird Vintage & Antiques where you can find some unique and interesting items. Best of all, you would not have to pay for shipping if purchased while you are staying with us!
