About the host
Hosted by Sarah Grace Parker
Hi, I'm Sarah Parker, youngest daughter of Faith Parker and the late Judson Garrett Parker. A graduate of St. John's University in Queens, NY with a B.S. in Communications and a minor in Business, and currently a Senior Vice President at entertainment marketing agency, Blended Strategy Group. I recently moved back to Salem, NY after spending two decades working in NYC and Los Angeles. My mother is a clinical psychologist who worked at Columbia University and Bankstreet College before recently retiring. She and my late father purchased Blind Buck Valley Farm in 1985. My sister, Nicole Ives, is a professor at McGill University in Montreal, CA and splits her time between there and Hanover, New Hampshire, where her husband, Jeff and three sons, Sam, Ben and Luke, live. My sister Cindy D’Andrea lives in Salem, NY and helps to manage & care for the farm the farm, along with her kids, Ian and Hayleigh Prevost. Though miles might separate us, we are a close-knit family that gathers as frequently as we can at our farm, where we have spent countless Holidays and made priceless memories.
Why they chose this property
Blind Buck Valley Farmstead is a family-run and female-owned farm stay experience that aims to allow friends and family to gather together, relax, unplug, and enjoy nature. The Glamping Site is the newest way to enjoy the farm, offering you a chance to camp without leaving behind the simple luxuries of home.
Currently, BBVF is home to two horses, two ponies, two donkeys, two families of goats, two pigs, a variety of chickens, and three barn cats. We also host cows courtesy of our friends at OverEast Family Farm from spring to fall. Guests can enjoy farm tours, wagon rides, visits to our Chicken Coop, garden and pumpkin patch, and so much more while on the farm.
BBVF is conveniently located within a short drive to an array of fun activities such as swimming, kayaking, fishing, outlet shopping, brewery hopping, spas, antique shops and more. Take day trips to nearby Saratoga Springs, Lake George and Manchester, VT, then come back and relax at your private glamping site.

What makes this property unique
The farm is a truly magical place that is impossible to fully understand until you experience it yourself. Some of our favorite memories are visiting the animals and collecting fresh eggs for breakfast from the Chicken Coop, building fires and making s'mores around the outdoor fire pit, hiking in the surrounding hills, and spending time together playing lawn games and cards.
