EarthColors Farm

The name of our farm- EarthColors&nbsp;came about because I&nbsp;have not only fruits and vegetables but also grow a variety of plants and flowers that can be used as natural dyes. &nbsp;Our property was part of another farm that was split off because 18 acres is a conservation area which is non farmable land. &nbsp;We are lucky because it lay neglected for decades and never had gmo crops planted on it. &nbsp; I grow everything organically and our free ranging&nbsp;hens get only non-gmo grains. &nbsp;

The larger basin of the pond, perfect for swimming, floating or just listening to the bullfrogs.  

Songdog Meadows

There are two basins with a channel and a peaceful tree filled grass area between. The pond is in the corner of the 10 acre lot where we live at the end of a dirt road with only a small amount of traffic. The camp site is walk in on mowed pathways, with the driveway and parking area less than 200 yards away. There is a security light so you will never be in complete darkness. A stone fire pit and picnic table sit just off shore of the swimming area of the pond. There are several wide mowed pathways surrounded by prairie grasses, shaded by large trees. The area can easily handle several tents, hammocks and small RVs. The area is rural farm land with a handful of houses on the short dirt road. But this property is surrounded by wood lots and open fields. Two neighbors houses are visible but separated by trees. Our house is visible from the pond and camping area. 

One of the many stunning sunsets at the property.
