Welcome to The Calder Wilds!
Located in the middle of the Pennsylvania Wilds, our property stretches over a wooded hill, encompassing many acres of deciduous forest, meadows, ponds and streams. We feel so lucky to call this magical place home and want to share with you all the beauty that makes life here so wonderful for us. Please browse through the site at your leisure and enjoy all the wildlife, forest, foraging, gardening and projects that fill our days.
This website is a living, breathing, ever-evolving project with new pages and content being added continually. We have so many ideas of what we would like to include so check back often to see what’s new. To easily access new content click on the “What’s New” link (here or above) and catch up on our latest adventures. Thanks for joining us, we love having you along for the ride!

Wildlife
Meet some of the wild neighbours that we share this paradise with!
Eating Wild
We eat like kings here every day and most of our food comes from the land. Some of it is cultivated but we forage a lot from what nature provides us in the wild. Dive in to discover the many wild mushrooms and plants we dine on and how we make our own maple syrup.
Home Grown
We aim to eat as much home grown, organic foods as we can. Not only because it’s healthier but also because it is a lot of fun to do! Learn all about our extensive vegetable garden, fruit orchard and growing mushroom farm!
