There’s a cave within walking distance of the farm, and it holds a little piece of Trout Lake history.
Part of a lava tube stretching more than 2,000 feet underground, the cave’s naturally cool temperatures made it useful to early settlers for storing potatoes and, later, aging cheese. Explore far enough inside, and you can still find remnants of the old wooden shelves.
Over the years, local families gathered there for picnics and brought visitors to explore it. We love learning these stories and discovering the many ways this valley's history still connects to the community today. And it’s still there to explore, just a short walk from the farm.
