Sunnyside Farm Stays!

Visit Sunnyside and learn how to do what we do through a

FARM-WORK EXCHANGE!

Sunnyside Farms is a lovely 2 acre farm that is not only the home to a wonderful Norwegian Fjord Horses and small animals, but also to that of a lovely non-profit that provides alternative forms of behavioral health to people in our community.   We are bordered by Cottonwood and offer nice paddocks for our horses and their small furry and feathered friends.  In addition, we have an organic food garden, lovely picnic areas and places to stay and experience farm life at it’s best in the west.

We have a quaint and meticulously-kept property where people WANT to be and love being, where they remember coming for a lifetime, and a place that makes an impact on your future.  We work hard to manage what we have, and it shows in the happiness of our animals and our participants and guests.

We provide positive and rewarding opportunities through which guests can focus their energy and passion for animals while experiencing daily positive, rewarding and life-changing outcomes.  Additionally, we enjoy helping to make dreams come true.  Life on vacation offers the time and focus needed to take on “something new” and we can provide the experiences and skill sets needed to turn a “new leaf” and take a different path with the entire crew at Sunnyside!!

Here in our small community of Clyde Park, our participants can gain the knowledge and insights to learn about responsibility and kindness, happiness and hopefulness.

Our guests develop communication  skills that are associated with the animals; they encounter veterinary issues as they arise; and they are given the opportunity to care for and manage farm animals in a structured environment that balances independent work with set duties on a daily basis. We promote goal and task-oriented achievements using project based learning. These tasks may include grooming, daily feeding and care, and equine management and maintenance.

At Sunnyside Farms, we strive for what is different, unique, special, exotic, reliable and remarkable.   Glamp and Sunnyside and you’re be sure to want to stay!

Just ask Walder!
