The farm is women owned and operated. This 34 acres of rolling farmland, woods and pasture is surrounded by farmland and woodlands on all sides. Enjoy nature. Watch wildlife. Listen to the birds singing. You will often see deer in the evenings. Walk or drive to the main residence to enjoy the pool, hot tub and hot outdoor shower. (5 minute walk or 1 minute drive) We have a few dedicated women's campouts each year, and some art-making workshops, retreats, and quilting weekends, too. Other times we are open and inclusive of all. Native land of Chickasaw, Quapaw and Osage nations. LGBTQ friendly. :)

Weekend Trip to The Art Farm

What a lovely, peaceful retreat especially for women!!! Met amazing women and also had plenty of time and space to myself. Accommodations are clean. Host and helpers are beautiful souls and so accommodating. I plan to return and bring more ladies. What a gem!!
