Farm Stays & Self-Guided Farm Tours
Off-grid living meets regenerative organic farming at Willow-Witt’s high mountain getaway.
Visitors can support our efforts to regenerate this property’s soils, forests, plants, and water — stewarded for millennia by the Upland Takelma, Latgawa, Shasta, and Athabaskan peoples.
Scaled to fit into this unique environment, our farming endeavors enhance the health of the land, and self-guided tours demonstrate living in harmony with nature and offsetting one’s carbon footprint. Stay, play and discover our protected inholding within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, where you’ll find forests, meadows and wetlands home to wildlife, birds and more than 200 varieties of plants.
Just 12 miles from Ashland — with its small-town feel but big-town culture — Willow-Witt Ranch is a world away.
Choose your ideal getaway from our range of accommodations and farm activities. Join us for goat milking and feeding, gathering freshly laid eggs or harvesting garden vegetables. Purchase the goods for your farm-fresh meal — eggs, goat milk and veggies — from our self-serve farm store.
Hold your wedding, throw a party, or host your family reunion or business retreat at Willow-Witt Ranch. Our educational nonprofit, The Crest, brings day and residential camps, field trips, and workshops to the land. Learn about the natural and human history of the land and farm during special events throughout the year.
Farm Stay Accommodations on the Ranch
Meadow House
The Meadow House is a private three-bedroom, two-bath house a quarter mile from the farm’s center. Sleeping up to 10 guests, it features a wraparound porch with magnificent meadow and mountain views. The open yard can host small weddings, intimate dinners, or family games. Book the Meadow House, along with our other accommodations, for larger groups or events.
Farmhouse Studio
The light-filled Farmhouse Studio looks out on meadows, forests, and the farm. In the heart of our property, it offers privacy for up to six guests with two queen beds in a loft, double sleeper-sofa and full kitchen and bath on the main floor. Enjoy a fire in the woodstove and meals on the secluded deck.
Wall Tents & Camping
Our Campground has a well-appointed community cookhouse, hot water outdoor showers, a spacious bathhouse and lively atmosphere. Four Furnished Wall Tents offer comfortable mattresses, luxurious cotton bedding, down duvets, and wood stoves. Pitch your own tent in one of our forested Camp Sites and enjoy all the Campground amenities.
Play
Willow-Witt Ranch is in the Cascade Range foothills at approximately 5,000 feet elevation. Enjoy almost eight miles of hiking trails and the informative self-guided farm tour where you can explore and learn about the land, flora and fauna. The ranch is just two miles from the Grizzly Peak trailhead, one of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument’s best hikes.
* This working farm uses Maremma livestock guardian dogs. No dogs or pets are allowed.
Activities on the Farm & Ranch
Birding & Nature Watching
A birding hotspot, the ranch boasts nesting pairs of Great Grey Owls. Our garden and farm are alive with birdsong and nests all summer while our wetlands are habitat for a variety of wading birds, including Mallard ducks, common snipes, and Sandhill Cranes. As we brought wetlands back to health, Western Pond Turtles found their way to our small pond, the highest elevation known breeding population, now studied by scientists.
Hiking & Being in Nature
Stroll through our healthy forests, observe more than 200 varieties of plants, soak up sun and breathe our fresh air. Marvel at the stars and Milky Way in our truly dark skies. Picnic in nature with foods produced just a few steps away. Willow-Witt is an experience in the harmonious coexistence of biodiversity and regenerative organic agriculture and a lesson in animals humanely and lovingly raised.
