A rural extension of Fountain House; High Point Farm is a working farm that Fountain House members share in operating, and a natural resource which they take part in conserving. High Point Farm occupies 12 acres of the site and includes a 14 room chalet that sleeps 18 people. The remaining acreage is a certified American Tree Farm. Members come to the farm on a weekly basis and take part in tending to the livestock Alpacas, Llamas and chickens, work in the garden and orchard and maintain the buildings, grounds and pastures. Members share too, in keeping the chalet in order and in cooking and serving their own meals.

The farm offers a special chance to trade city traffic and stresses for country space, peace and quiet.
