Upon arrival we were greeted by Lisa and Glenn. They are great and wonderful host. The farm is quiet and the cows are happy. Beautiful views of mountains and clean air. Lisa and Glenn are very accommodating and everyone that comes to their farm will definitely enjoy their stay.

This is a lovely place. The farm owners are very welcoming and helpful. I bought some of their meats and eggs. Very pleasant. If I find myself in this area again I would definitely come back!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay. Lisa and Glen have gone above and beyond to create a tranquil yet festive atmosphere. Loved that we buy firewood and delicious meat on the premises. The wagyu hamburgers and breakfast packs were tasty and definitely a treat. We've been on the road since September and Oostema tops our list of places to visit again.
