Gary and I are both retired. We currently only have chickens for fresh eggs and our dog. We enjoy the outdoors and working on our hobby farm. We like going to swap meets and looking at antiques.. We are both from CT and Gary has been in Salem his whole life. We have traveled a bit outside of the country but we are just starting to camp with our RV. We both have adult children nearby.

Skills & Expertise to Share

Gary is an avid hunter. Also, as the farm name suggests he is a car guy and is pretty handy. Michele makes soap and takes care of the chickens and enjoys cards and Mah Jongg. We have also made caramels when we had goats on the property.

GreaseMonkeyFarm's Pets

We have a sweet yet crazy dog named Elvira. We expect her to calm down as she is only one. She is a tri-color Aussie. We have chickens, they stay in run and coop. Only the doggo gets to travel!

Favorite Boondocking Locations

We haven't started yet but are looking to travel in Maine, Vermont, NY and possibly down south next spring.

GreaseMonkeyFarm's Hometown

Gary has lived in Salem, CT his whole life. I went to high school a loooong time ago nearby in East Lyme, CT

Such an enjoyable visit!

This was just a quick stop over for these folks but we are sure glad they stopped in for the night! What geat people, so easy going and very interesting to chat with. Their pup, Elvira, was very well behaved and so loving. We wish they could have stayed longer and hope to see them again in the future! Just “Accept” if they should request to stay, you'll be glad you did.

Great spot!

Another great stay! I was greeted with farm fresh eggs and allowed to let my dogs run free in their large fenced in former goat pen!

Beautiful spot and wonderful hosts

Great location near coast, shopping, restaurants and more. Set in the woods and very close to a cool hiking trail along a beautiful brook. Hosts were a pleasure to meet. We had plenty of room for 30’ rig and truck.

Awesome hosts!

GreaseMonkeyFarm, what a great place! Chickens, a fantastic doggy (Elvira), a beautiful home on a beautiful property, super friendly hosts (who gave us fresh, fresh eggs), a quiet secluded location, and wonderful conversation. We expected a nice stay and it exceeded our expectations by a lot! It was the perfect stay for our fluid itinerary. We feel blessed to be BoondockersWelcome members; it just doesn’t get better than this!

Pretty site, wonderful people

could be my best boondockers welcome stay yet... quiet, fresh eggs and treats, great conversion and a 2 1/2 mile loop trail right there. I sure hope to return some day.
