40mi from Houston Lake · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Experience the countryside with open views and stargazing opportunities. Enjoy pastured eggs, deer sightings, and the sounds of the neighbor's cattle from a quiet country road. Bird watchers can appreciate the morning serenades. Wildlife activity at night includes coyotes, owls, and frogs. Located 15 minutes east of Louisburg off of 69 highway, and 15 minutes west of Harrisonville off of 49 highway. The local sourdough bakery offers fresh goods on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A local brewery is a 15-minute drive away, and Bourgmont Winery is situated 30 minutes northwest. If the garden is producing, visitors can help themselves to tomatoes. Yard games and the basketball hoop are available, with equipment to be put away afterward. The fire pit is also available for cooking and s'mores. Visitors are welcome to inquire about regenerative soil practices on the land. As we grow the garden and amend the soil, we hope to see repeat visitors in the years to come. While paths are mowed, they may not be maintained weekly like lawns, so some natural length should be expected. Bringing bug deterrent is recommended for comfort. Pets that are responsibly kept are welcome. Consideration of neighbors, the land and livestock is requested during your stay. Cash may be useful for additional goods and services onsite. (I.e. Freshly milled organic wheat bread, homemade kombucha and lacto-fermented sauerkraut) The tent and RV sites are drive-up accessible. For Civil War enthusiasts, the local site in Freeman is associated with Colonel Freeman and the Freeman's Regiment, Missouri Cavalry, organized in January 1864 and active in Missouri until disbanding in spring 1865.
