35 Years of Donations
Normandy Farms is proud to have been donating to the Jimmy Fund for 35 years! Doris Daniels, former Recreation Director at Normandy Farms, began the program back in 1983. She developed an extensive recreation program where money from various activities goes to support children and their families affected by cancer. Click here to take a look back through the years.
Employment At Normandy
Here at Normandy you are not an “employee”, you are not considered “staff” or even a number. You are a part of a large family with about 140 members to be exact… yeah, there are a lot of us! Since 1971 when the family farm became a working campground, Normandy Farms has been employing team members of all ages, backgrounds and from all over the country. If you haven’t noticed from visiting the park, it’s a pretty spectacular place to work.
And it’s that time of yea r again… Each winter we welcome the applicants who have chosen us for their possible future job. If you, or someone you know is interested in a seasonal position in one of our departments, keep reading…

Maintenance Shop
We recently took down our old Maintenance Shop/Garage building located at the entrance of the park. Click here to watch the video.

This was originally built back in the farming days and served as our chicken coop. When the farm transitioned to a campground in the early 1970's, the building became a maintenance shop where we serviced vehicles and stored equipment. In the 1980's we built a haunted house on the second level of the garage, which was visited by many guests over our Halloween weekends. The haunted house was designed and constructed by Marc Daniels and featured all sorts of spooky themes.
While we were all a little sad to see this building go, it is our intent to dress up the entrance of the park to make it more attractive and so that the first thing you see upon entering the park isn't all of our equipment and heavy machinery.

We recently completed construction of two new maintenance buildings that are located in the back of the park along with RV storage. Click here to view a drone video of the new buildings and storage area.

Meet Oslo
Oslo is an adorable 2 year old Boxer Labrador mix. If his big brown eyes do not melt your heart, nothing will. Oslo loves to play and is a bundle of energy but also will settle down and snuggle. He does very well with other dogs and will play and play and play till he can’t play anymore. He does like cats but his play style can be a little rough so it may be best that he goes to a cat free home. He is an amazing dog and will make a great addition to any home. https://pawsnewengland.com/adopt/pet-8508/
