South of Lexington, in the heart of the Bluegrass, our little farm is making a big impact on our community. We raise chickens for eggs and meat, sheep for lamb meat, occasionally turkeys and a wide variety of produce and berries, along with bees for honey. Our peacocks are here for pure pleasure, but we do pick up feathers and design crafts with them from time to time. Whether we're planting seeds, gathering eggs, or rounding up sheep, there's always something happening on the farm. Close by there's lots to do: golfing, fishing, boating, hiking, birding or touring the bourbon trail.

First off - The family is so wonderful and helpful.
Second - The views are so worth the drive.
Third - My dog loved being off the leash. Plenty of new smells.
Fourth - I wish it had not been so cold and I had more time to take advantage of the pond.
Great place that I would recommend to all.

What a great place!
Doesn’t show its glory until you go around the barn to park/hook up, then wow! Rolling hills. Horses. Pounds with ducks. Beautiful.
Best sunrise in a long time.
AND:
Driving up -go slow and take the third gate just like she says. Do NOT go too far -it is a long, winding, hilly, narrow road to get back (took an hour in the dark, dark, dark night).
So glad we found this place!

Staying at Sticky Wicket Farms was a great experience in no small part due to the wonderful host Leslie. We opted for the quiche and cinammon rolls and both were homemade, hot and delicious. Having full hook-ups was very convenient. We really enjoyed walking the drive and seeing the animals. Thank you, Leslie!!

Leslie was very accommodating. She met us upon arrival. She was very pleasant. She has a nice farm. We got some good fire wood and farm fresh eggs. It felt very private, which was good. We spent almost a week there. It was very relaxing 🔥🌜⭐

We loved our stay on Matthew’s land. The barndominium was so cute and had everything we needed for our weekend away. We were there for an event in the area so didn’t get to take advantage of the canoe, fishing poles or the patio space and grill.

This cute little farm was a great, local place to try out our new trailer! Leslie let us run our dog off leash in her fully fenced orchard, which was great for him to burn some energy! We would definitely come back.

Wesley was very welcoming and told us about the area. We didn’t spend a huge amount of time there because we were visiting family in Lancaster. But everything was nice and clean. Our dog had plenty of room to run and we enjoyed that also.

Great place to set up camp. I stayed for several nights and had a peaceful experience. Leslie is an absolutely wonderful person, and such a hard worker!! It was enjoyable to watch the animals and walk my dog in her orchard! She is in the process of creating a very cute BandB.
There is many interesting attractions nearby!

Camping here was really amazing in so many ways… but mostly because we really felt welcome. The host was prompt with communication, clear with instruction, and attentive to our comfort.
We also loved the scenery during our drive, the view from our campsite, and the *Incredible* quiche.
Highly recommend!!!!

We stayed 2 nights at the farm in our class B. Toured distilleries all around the area and loved coming back to this beautiful setting. Gravel pad is level, it’s easy in and out and amenities are as advertised. Host checked on us during bad weather. Hospitality is exceptional - Will def return!
