Lark and Missy - The Connemara ponies of Cheesecake Farms
Spend a few precious days (or longer!) with us at Cheesecake Farms.
We're a real farm located in Fauquier County - Virginia's gracious hunt country.
Tucked in between Fredericksburg, Culpeper and Warrenton, Virginia, half way between Richmond and Washington, DC - we're easy to find.
Two Connemara ponies live at Cheesecake Farms named Missy and Lark. They're young and playful.
Our elder horse is Frank. He's a Belgium Draft cross and he's an angel. Everyone loves Frank.
Frank - our elder gentleman.
We have gardens to day dream in and gardens you can work in.
There's a lazy stream for meandering and seasonal cooking classes to tease your palate.
Tour the hot spots of Sumerduck, Virginia (Smith's Antiques, Roger's Ford Farm Winery and the Sumerduck Trading Company - our local convenience store).
Visit the Goldvein museum down the road then pan for gold in our stream.
Come to hunt country for the horses, the antique shopping, the civil war battlefields and the wineries. Or just come for the peace and quiet.
Experience the simple elegance of every day farm life. Reconnect and refresh. Feel the earth beneath your feet.

Food
Wake up to seasonal fare like local eggs and home fries, corn meal pancakes with hot pear and nutmeg sauce, home made granola, muffins, tea breads, buns, juice, fresh fruit, yogurt or whatever else we're whipping up. All meals are served family style. Brew your own coffee and tea right in your room whenever you want a cup. Most rooms and suites have a refrigerator for your convenience and some even have a microwave.
Need to get on the road early? Take your breakfast with you. We'll have take out containers available. You'll notice a healthy difference in our cuisine. While we're not strictly vegetarian, you'll find much of our home-y cuisine to be delightfully vegetarian. Whenever possible, we use locally raised, organic ingredients in our hunt country cuisine and much of it from our own gardens in season.
We can often accommodate those with slight special dietary needs but those with severe or life threatening restrictions should bring food suitable to their situation.
We are happy to re-heat special needs foods but, with regret, cooking other than microwave re-heating, is not available.
We do not have allergy or gluten free-dedicated kitchens.
Sorry, there is no meal allowance if you bring your own food.
