The Farm & The Feeling
Why "Jumping Tree"?
& What Awaits You
An old maple stood here for decades. One night, a storm
tore through. By dawn, the tree had snapped off at
ground level—roots still clenched in the soil like
desperate fingers, its massive body sprawled across the
gravel road, as if it had offered itself for firewood.
From that improbable leap came the name Jumping Tree
Farm, and the lingering sense that this land makes its
own decisions.
Stroll the country road, watch the goats sunbathe on the
hill, or do absolutely nothing but breathe mountain air.
We keep things peaceful, cozy, and just playful enough
to make you grin.
Your Private Getaway
Stay in the Brickhouse
The Brickhouse is a ranch-style hideout one mile from
historic Todd and the South Fork of the New River. A
single-lane gravel road brings you to a flat parking pad
beside the house; from there it’s goats, woods, and
sky.

Seasonal Highlights
Summer: Hike Elk Knob,
paddle the New River, or coast into Todd for
bluegrass on Friday nights.
Winter: Ski Appalachian (30
min) or Sugar Mountain (55 min). Elk Knob
offers a mile-long back-country ski trail if
you bring your own gear. The road is plowed
last, so 4×4 is wise after a storm.
Farm Friends
Meet the Herd & Hens
Our small band of goats and free-ranging chickens add to
the unique character of Jumping Tree Farm. They're as
much a part of the scenery as the mountains themselves.
Remington
Purebred herd-sire, oak-brown coat, ego to
match.
Holly & Rosie
Tennessee sisters, founders of our line, queens
of the mineral block.
Violet & Flower
Sweet-natured purebreds from Treestar Farm—first
to greet you at the gate.
Guests may step into the pen when one of us is present;
closed-toe shoes are smart, and pockets full of
contraband snacks are not. Please never feed the
animals—our vet thanks you.
Chickens, Eggs, & Breakfast
A mixed flock free-ranges the grounds. If you’d like
a dozen eggs ($5) just mention it in your booking
note and we’ll set them aside.
