Pfanny's Farm

4 sites · Lodging, RVs11 acres · Randolph, NE

Please note: although we are not able to mark them off on the calendar, we do not do Sunday check-ins. If you check in on an earlier date, however, you are welcome to stay thru Sundays :) Welcome to Pfanny's Farm-we love sharing our little slice of heaven with our visitors :) A love for gardening and providing healthy home-grown fruits and vegetables for our family has supplied us with an abundance of produce for over 35 years. We have canned, dehydrated and frozen the excess but the kids have flown the coop and we have expanded our operations in order to provide our patrons with that same grown-with-love nourishment! Our geo-thermal greenhouse and 2 high-tunnels are the main attractions of our farm...we raise citrus in Nebraska! And now we are also delving into agritourism by allowing overnight visitors to stay and experience life on the farm. Tours are available for a fee-don't miss out on this experience :) A children's "trail-tale" can be enjoyed during a walk on our 1/2 mile trail. The trail is partially lined with a children's story and antique machinery for your viewing pleasure. The "binzebo" area, equipped with picnic tables and a nearby firepit is always a big hit. Enjoy a game of horseshoes or cornhole while waiting to watch a beautiful sunset, followed by a night sky that is unhindered by light pollution. The view of the Milky Way is fantastic! These are shared areas, so you might see us and our other visitors out there-join in and make some friends! We do have a very friendly dog-his name is Beau. He is known to hang out with our guests and beg for belly rubs :) Our chickens are occasionally free-range, so we require that your pets be on leash.

Before the bailey's homesteaded the land the only other inhabitants could have been the migratory Pawnee. For the last hundred + years the farm has been in the bailey family, from a father with many children passing land to his sons, and eventually it would fall in the hands of his grandaughters' family who would eventually have a daughter herself who would start a produce business with a vision for living along the creek. So come here the many stories of times gone by and get a feast of what's to come!Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent next to the Shell Creek, access to a picnic table and a fire ring.
