Twenty years of growing this farm... Not what grows here but the farm itself! Stone and brick pulled from the ground till we found the beautiful earth beneath and built an incredible community around it. Or rather, it grew itself from the energy that surrounds it. It's a special spot where you may happen upon a fire in the sugar shack while we boil city collected sap into maple syrup or have an open jam night with world class jazz musicians. Enjoy the morning serenade of our rooster! Really, just come and be here. Though we think we're pretty cool, a few things to note that you may not think are so cool: There is a train that runs directly behind the farm. Light sleepers, may want to bring ear plugs. Bring your tent to The Vaudeville! (RVs, campers, trailers, vans please see the ** at the bottom). Our urban farm is smack in the middle of Chicago only a 10 minute bike or train ride from Downtown, Lake Michigan, The Mag Mile and all Chicago has to offer! Bike the Lake Shore Trail, walk the 606, kayak the Chicago River, catch a blues show or Hawks game or just relax with the goats and chickens in the 9,000 square foot farm that we absolutely love to share with fellow campers! ** We have stopped hosting RVs, campers/vans, pull behinds and larger vehicles because we are finding it difficult to get them in the entrance gate but if you feel amazingly capable with your backing in skills in your rig and you're super patient, laid back and extra cool, let us know and we may be able to make it work!! :)Bring your tent (or request gear from us) to The Vaudeville!

Great experience at the farm! As long as you’re prepped with earplugs, Nicky’s place is a great spot to setup camp and remain relatively close to downtown.

We loved it here!! The hosts were super nice and it was such a cute farm right in the city. It was a perfect stop for us on our road trip and stop in Chicago. We would stay again :)

Beautiful
Beautiful Urban farm in Chicago. 9 min ride to downtown by train. Beautiful fenced in backyard full of colors, from flowers, to the pergola with a large dinning table. I highly recommend staying at this location. Can't wait to come visit again.

Nicky was so kind and accommodating! This is a truly unique stay and a great option in expensive Chicago. We pitched our tent on the lawn which was soft and even, and enjoyed the picnic area strung with cute lightbulbs! If you are noise sensitive, definitely bring some earplugs. The train is close and goes through several times in the night. Other than that, the farm has great access to public transportation and you can easily get further into the city.
