Children of all ages will enjoy helping Farmer Dale with morning chores. They will delight in getting acquainted with the goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, geese, sheep and cattle. Weatherbury is a working farm. Each day features new experiences.
Families staying for two or more nights receive a packet (filled with coloring & activity books) about farming and every child is invited to earn the “Official Weatherbury Farm Kid” designation. Younger children do chores and complete a picture worksheet; older children have fun doing chores and learning with our "Farm Workbook." Children who complete the program are awarded an "Official Weatherbury Farm Kid" certificate.
Nestled amid the serenity of 100+ acres of rolling farmland in Southwestern Pennsylvania, Weatherbury Farm is a quiet place, far from the madding crowd, removed from the cares of the world where meadows and gardens, fields and valleys combine to create a perfect setting of tranquil relaxation. Here the gentle amenities of life are still observed.
Accommodations are in a cluster of historic buildings. All rooms and suites have ensuite baths and are air-conditioned.
Country gardens surround the farmhouse providing the perfect setting for relaxing or playing croquet on the lawn. The gorgeous sunsets and breathtakingly beautiful sunrises make a stay here truly a peaceful and relaxing experience. At day's end, one can take in the dance of the fireflies from the porch swing.
There are many activities for the guest who wants to be busy, and those who so desire can be busy doing nothing at all. Guests may relax on the porches, picnic on the grounds, or enjoy the swimming pool on a summer day.
Nature's four seasons provide the backdrop to this farm vacation. Whether guests prefer the greening spring, languid summer afternoons, colorful autumn foliage or winter-white mornings, they will delight in a stay at Weatherbury Farm.
Weatherbury Farm is set in an area of natural beauty to offer a stopping-off place for exploring the many attractions of the area. Opportunities for bicycling, boating, fishing, hiking, and golf abound. Our on-the-farm blacksmith shop, auctions, antiquing and flea markets are among the many choices of entertaining year round activities.
Starlake Amphitheater and Brooke Hills Playhouse offer a variety of summer entertainment. Also close by are Meadowcroft, a 19th century village outdoor museum which includes one of the oldest archaeological sites in North America and the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum. Pittsburgh, Washington PA and panhandle West Virginia are within easy driving distance.
