Newest Farmstay Unit is Open!


Queen master bed.
 Whimsical Farmstay is open!  Reserve here. Come for a single night, or enjoy a week or longer get-a-way...there's so much to do in the area; and after a busy day there's nothing like coming home to the quiet of Morning Song Farm. Pour yourself a glass and enjoy the often spectacular sunsets. The ducks and peacocks adjacent to Whimsical (peak at their activities through your kitchen window) always enjoy your kitchen leftovers.

Houfy and our website are fee-free, so they’re the best place to actually make a reservation from, although we’re listed on Airbnb, VRBO, flipkey, bedandbreakfast.com and a few others.

I regularly sync our reviews from those places so all our reviews are in one place on houfy.com.


FARM ACTIVITIES ON MORNING SONG:
We send a comprehensive winery/brewery listing, and area activity guides including activities, restaurants, grocery stores, and pharmacies with our Welcome Note and Directions when you make a reservation. Below are our on-farm suggestions, available to our guests only.

Morning Song Farm's
Private Cheese Making/butter churning Class
A fun farm activity, and you'll take home a skill that you'll enjoy again and again. Learn how to easily make several fresh cheeses that are amazingly easy to make and don't take a great deal of time or require costly supplies. Please make reservations for this activity when you book, so that we can pencil this 2-3 hour class in for you. Cost is $135 for up to 4 participants, ($65 per person after 4) this significantly discounted offer is only available to farmstay guests. As much fun as it seems it might be to include your younger child, it rarely works here for this class. Our experience here on the farm is that small children don’t usually have the attention span needed to complete the class. Full refund if cancelled 24 hours before class start time. No refund if cancelled after.



Old Fashioned Home Made,
Hand-Churned Ice Cream Class
Learn why manually hand churned ice cream tastes so smooth and creamy without additives, and provides a much more store-bought finish than electric machines. Our hand crank ice cream machine was crafted by the Pennsylvania Amish and is a work of art. We provide everything your group needs but the hand cranking muscle! Cost is $105. Fun for all ages, group members take turns churning until ice cream is ready. Toppings, cones, ice cream containers included. This is fun for all ages!



Image result for jam makingJam Making/Canning Class
Great class to introduce you to the joys of making your own jam. The class is in two parts: making jam, and canning jam. Learning both are required if you want jam that doesn’t require refrigeration. We can into small jars suitable for gift giving, and provide embellishments and ribbons. Go home with several gifts already packaged and wrapped! We focus on teaching a lower sugar, intensely flavored jam using our own pectin made in class from citrus grown here on the farm, and Pomona’s all natural citrus-based pectin. Less sugar means more fruit, and more flavor! $135



Goat Interaction Activity
Most afternoons between 3:00-4:00. Free to registered guests. Enjoy hands-on interaction with our very own Goat Whisperer and Morning Song Farm’s amazing herd of friendly, miniature goats. Meet Carl the Criminal, Boo the Princess, and the rest of the pampered herd.





Become Chicken Farmers!
For those staying in our family-sized, Two Bedroom Bungalow with Hottub, gather eggs from your own chickens each morning, feed and interact to your hearts’ content. The property’s garden includes a small barn, and miniature, Japanese Bantam chickens. They enjoy the same food you do…and will always appreciate your meal scraps and treats!



Meet our Alpacas! Silverado and Dusty

What can we say? These guys are always happy to oblige a visitor’s offer of tasty Alpaca treats, which we provide. Guard animals, they work hard at protecting our large flock of egg-producing chickens, and you’ll usually see them with their flock at their feet. Dusty and Silverado will come right up to their corral fence line whenever visitors pass by, in the hopes you’d like to stop for a moment and offer them a treat. They’ll eat right out of your hand. And don’t forget their chickens! We keep a can of chicken treats available for guests’ use, too!

Glamping in SoCal's Wine Country Updated on November 29, 2023 There's nothing quite like sleeping under canvas, as many of us fondly remember from our scouting days. Fast forward a couple decades, and spending a half day gathering gear and filling ice chests while juggling kids, work commitments and charcoal isn't as idyllic as we remember. Years ago, when news of MaryJane Butler's Idaho canvas wall tent farm burst onto the scene in the 1990's, the concept of living a fancier, more fluffy version of her youthful account of sorting herself out in much needed isolation in a tent in the northern woods, resonated with many of us. Yes, we wanted to experience that, but with down comforters, WIFI and running water. Many of us are inspired by the pioneering spirit, but prefer our inspiration in small doses. MaryJane's Farm was the first glamping destination to offer a gentler version of her survivalist adventures, and travelers flocked to Moscow, Idaho to experience he

Harvest Ticket, Page One

..... Collards are here this week. Mild flavored and nutrient dense, these leafy greens are often overlooked but are worth a try! Be careful not to overcook--like other cruciferous veggies--overcooked collards have an unpleasant odor. A cancer preventing cruciferous vegetable--recent studies indicate that steamed collard greens have the greatest cholesteral-lowering ability of all leafy greens. Read more about collards at this link: http://www.whfoods.org/genpage.php?dbid=138&tname=foodspice Mizuna is new in our boxes this week, too. Milder flavored than typical arugula; this popular Japanese leafy green will add some zip to an otherwise mundane salad. The sawtoothed spicy leaves can be added to soups, added as a raw chopped garnish on a cooked dish, or steamed like spinach with perhaps some drizzled Califiornia olive oil and a dash of well aged parmesan cheese. Finally, Ghandi's reportedly favorite food: purslane is here for a few weeks before the cold kills it back. The herb

Harvest Shot April 8-9 2014

Harvest shot for this week. We lost much of our early mulberry crop to unseasonably windy nights. Just such a disappointment to see so much of our beautiful fruit on the ground. Squeaked by with very small portions for all Large Shares this week from our earliest trees. We do have half an acre of later fruit coming in, and look forward to a less meager provisions.
