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.

This was a great spot for our camper for a couple nights! Easy to get in and out of, restroom/showers were clean, and free firewood is a nice amenity. The host was available but not overbearing, and communication was quick and clear. We would definitely return.

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 🔥🌜⭐

A hidden gem! I woke up to a herd of deer(7) and humming birds drinking dew. Crazy that you're 15-20 minutes away from downtown Louisville and camping underneath the stars. Perfectly located to most tourist areas of the region, you're 30 minutes away from the beginning of the Bourbon Trail, 20 minutes to Churchill Downs. Sites are very roomy and away from the next site. Although the sites are primitive there are portalets and a hand washing station as well as firewood available anytime using payment apps. Walmart and groceries within 10 minutes. Highly recommend if you want some nature and convenience of being close to everything!

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.

This site/campground was so nicely setup and very well thought out. The directions were very clear. The shower/bath house was a very nice add for a tent/truck camo setup. The goats and chickens were very cute. We went for a nice run/hike at Mammoth and the trail head was only .3 miles from our site which was a very nice surprise to us. Everything was clean and convenient. (Our only pro-tip, is screen shot or navigate before you get to the Mammoth Cave visitor center because we were driving blind for a bit waiting for cell service to come back).

this was an easy to access, beautiful piece of land!! I really appreciated their communication and clarity from the hosts. it was out of the way, but easy to get to town and the trails nearby so it didn't feel too isolated. the creek nearby was partially dried and made for fun exploration as well.

We had a great time! The Cypress site was private and spacious for a family of four with two tents. We had plenty of room to set up a lawn game, food table, etc. Definitely didn’t feel too close to the other sites. The fire pit was nice and the porta-potty was very clean.
