We have owned this farm for the last 37 years slowly helping it evolve into a gem of sustainability. The market produces herbs and vegetables and there are two 3 acre warm season native grassland prairie with forbs and flowers. This gives us the opportunity to educate those who visit on how to raise their own herbs vegetables and about the major benefits of the prairie. We are adding another 10 acres to the prairie in the next 2 years, as we let the land evolve away from mono culture corn crops to native grasses and forbs. We have 2 campsites, each has a fire pit, benches and a picnic table. There is one centrally located composting outhouse. Potable water is available near each campsite. Learn more about this land: Please check in between 4 pm and 6 EDT or make other arrangements with us at least 2 days before your stay. Camp at a working farm market and greenhouse.
