Welcome to Pebble Cove Farm

Our south facing farm with a private beach is an oasis of beauty and tranquility. All accommodations feature 180 degree waterfront views, have kitchenettes, and are thoughtfully furnished to complement the natural, peaceful setting of Pebble Cove Farm.

Wake up to the sounds of the gentle waves lapping on the shore and the scent of the sea. There are four acres of gardens, orchards, lawn and beach to explore. Spend your days playing with the rescue farm animals, beach combing, rowing out to an island to picnic, picking what’s ripe in the garden, taking a nap in a hammock or gazing up at the stars as you soak in the hot tub.

Our Story

We bought this long-neglected acreage in 2002, with dreams of raising our three boys by the sea.

We christened it “Pebble Cove Farm” and got to work — transforming the abandoned barn into a contemporary farmhouse, preserving its old-growth fir beams.

The farmhouse overlooks an acre of lawn and our south-facing private beach. The Family Suite and two Studio Suites are on the first level.

Our family resides on the second level, reached by a suspension bridge.

After completing the farmhouse, we built the Cottage, barn, hen house and corral, and planted our orchards and garden.

Pebble Cove Farm opened in the summer of 2006 and we’ve delighted in sharing island life with our guests ever since.

INQUIRE FOR availability

A Note on Milk!

the facts of where dairy products come from-

Cows produce milk for the same reason that humans do: to nourish their young. In order to force them to continue producing milk, they are impregnated by artificial insemination every year.

Calves are taken away from their mothers within a day of birth. Mother cows can be heard calling for their calves for days. Male calves are destined to end up in cramped veal crates or feedlots where they will be fattened for beef, and females are sentenced to the same fate as their mothers.

After their calves have been taken away from them, mother cows are hooked up, two or more times a day, to milking machines. The average diary cow today is forced to produce more than four times as much milk as cows did in 1950.

A cow’s natural lifespan is about 20 years, but cows used by the dairy industry are typically killed after about five years because their bodies wear out from constantly being pregnant or lactating.

The good news is Pebble Cove Farm is delighted to be offering three delicious organic choices, coconut milk, almond milk, and oat milk to be enjoyed with our granola and organic coffee.

This may be a tiny step towards a more compassionate kind world but let’s all take it together!

Thank you for your continued support and hope to see you on the farm!

And... Where are the eggs?

Another evolution on the farm is that the henhouse is no longer open for guests to take eggs from the hens

Although our lucky chickens lead long happy lives, the reality is they are a tiny minority. There is a common misconception that “free range” hens roam outside, happy and free. However, most hens, even “free range” hens fed organic grain, are kept in sheds with thousands of other birds. Standard “free range” practice is to cut off their beaks so hens in close confinement don’t peck each other.

All commercial hens are sent to slaughter at about a year when egg production declines. Even on small family farms, when the chickens don’t produce enough eggs, they are slaughtered.

Whether free range or factory farmed, male chicks are of no use for egg or meat production, and each year over 4 billion are killed almost immediately after hatching.

We feel by offering eggs to our guests we’re promoting a cruel system that is not aligned with our belief that all living creatures should be treated kindly.
