Getting Around the Property


Forest Fringe Farm is long, narrow, and shaped by water. Movement across the land follows its natural contours rather than straight lines, and getting around is part of the experience.

Paths & Terrain
There are informal footpaths connecting the meadows, campground, studio, compost toilet, and activities deck. Paths may be uneven, muddy, or soft—especially after rain—and are not gravelled or paved. Expect roots, tall grass, leaf litter, and occasional standing water.

Distance & Pace
While the farm is not large, areas are spread out. Walking between spaces takes time and is best done slowly and intentionally. We encourage guests to give themselves extra time to move between locations and to treat walking as part of the visit rather than a transition to rush through.

Footwear & Safety
Waterproof boots or sturdy shoes with good traction are strongly recommended. Please watch your footing, especially on slopes, near wet areas, or at dusk. Headlamps or flashlights are essential after dark, as the property has minimal lighting.

Vehicles
Vehicle access is limited and restricted to designated areas. Once parked, most movement on the farm is on foot. This helps protect the land and keeps the atmosphere quiet and safe.

Respecting the Land
Please stay on established paths where possible, avoid trampling plantings, and be mindful of wildlife habitats. The land is actively regenerating, and gentle movement helps it continue to heal.
