We just rebooted since 2022! Call or txt us at arrival time as we are a real working farm. Dry camping.
We are a sixth-generation family farm, deeply rooted in the land and home to a wide variety of wildlife. Certified in both water quality and organic practices, we are committed to sustainability through cover cropping and regenerative farming methods.
Our farm grows rare tribal seeds, Row 7 seed varieties, and specialty grains sought after by some of the nation’s top award-winning chefs. We supply grains for artisan bread, bagel shops, and even the Japanese market. In addition, we offer consumer-ready pancake mixes, flours, and rolled oats.
Our work has been featured on the Food Network and in national publications. Noreen, our lead farmer, was honored as the first woman to receive the University of Minnesota’s prestigious Siehl Lifetime Achievement Award.
Come learn more about our land:
This is a working organic farm with chickens, vegetables, and grains. You'll find wide open spaces, vibrant sunsets, a clear view of the stars at night, and a peaceful river nearby. Lots of area to walk, and fish or see the night sky. We also very close to Fargo, Nd and Moorhead, Mn about 12 miles. Lots to do there as well and we can share our favorite places.

This old homestead belonged to my belated brother Steve, and after he passed unexpectedly, we decided to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for those interested in sharing a peaceful and modest property.
The old barn is a work in progress to eventually become the base to accommodating more travelers and outdoor enthusiasts as finances permit.
My son Logan, after having worked in the service industry bartending for 14 years and hosting 100+ global travelers via CouchSurfing out in San Diego, is well-versed in creating an inviting space, enjoying the merits of hard work through the hospitality industry.
We look forward to meeting you and sharing/swapping stories around the campfire!
Learn more about this land:
Our property and profile are in constant change as we are in a stage of development, but we look to share our land with those seeking to enjoy a warm, welcome environment for those fellow wanderers, outdoor enthusiasts, vagabonds, and globetrotters. Logan is a well-traveled backpacker and together we share 5 1/2 acres here in a bustling little touristy town. We enjoy the company of those who endorse small footprint, sustainable practices and like to establish meaningful connections. All we ask is that you respect the property, our neighbors, and make an effort to add one more new friend before you depart.

Strawberry Lake Cabin

A Minnesotan summer is a quintessential American summer.
And on the banks of crystal-clear Strawberry Lake in the far Up North, our one-bedroom, one-bath Strawberry Lake Cabin will entice even the most digitally connected guests to step away and enjoy the great outdoors like kids on summer vacation!
Built by local craftsmen in 2013, our Strawberry Lake Cabin sits at the edge of Strawberry Lake, which is beautiful in all seasons but holds a special charm in summertime. The air is warm, the sun shines bright and clear, and the deep green foliage dapples the glassy lake. Enjoy all this lush scenery from the spacious deck under the trees at Strawberry Lake Cabin—from morning coffee to evening glass of wine.
Inside, an open common area, including a fully stocked and gleaming new kitchen, faces cathedral windows overlooking the deck, the woods, and the lake. These windows span the width of the house, all the way up to the lofted sleeping area, which is perched just at the tree line.
Experience the easy romance of tucking into nature together and shaking off the stresses of everyday life. From the loft bedroom, views of an unpolluted Minnesota sky full of stars will lull you into a deep sleep, and the green woods filled with birdsong will greet you first thing in the morning.
No matter who you’re traveling with, we highly recommend a canoe trip out on Strawberry Lake. We will provide a complimentary canoe for you! And the water here is calm and peaceful, with less motorboat traffic than on many of the lakes in this area. Not to mention the water clarity: spring-fed Strawberry Lake is so clear; the DNR’s 2022 lake survey measured water clarity at 21 feet!
In summer, the Tamarac Lake National Wildlife Refuge, located just three miles away, comes alive and is a spectacular place for a hike or cycling. When you return from your outdoor adventure, heat up the gas or charcoal grill and get your energy back with a perfectly cooked lakeside burger.
We have the option of a boat and motor to help you explore and fish Strawberry Lake. Available for rent is our 14 ft. fishing boat and 9.9 hp motor at a flat rate.
If you’d like to capture the essence of that “feeling of premium,” let us help you experience our version of paradise.

Wonderful experience, we have been here before but this time we had the campground to ourselves. David is an amazing host and took good care of us. The kids especially loved it because David gave them a free rein and they hung out with him by the campfire trading stories. We will be visiting again in a month and we cannot wait!

Great host, accomodating to our needs and arrival after dark. Sit was easy to navigate and park with minimal light.
Noreen was incredibly sweet and super helpful for the next day forecast and best routes to navigate the next couple of days. Wonderful bread and eggs, perfect for a quick breakfast as we left at the crack of day for our RV service.
Also wonderful nice dogs, was my morning walk around entertainment before driving off.
