Homesteaded more than 100 years ago this farm is somewhat stuck in time. Once this was a prosperous dairy operation. Location location location, this place is my slice of heaven on earth. Located in the corner of 4 townships on an extremely quiet road. Our farm now raises grass fed beef and wooly pigs pastured along driveway along with the usual cast of a farm, dogs, cats, chickens, guineas and goats

We enjoyed on stay on Sarah’s land. We were just passing through and needed a place to stay and her spot was perfect for what we needed. She was great at communicating as we had a couple of questions and even came out to show us where the toilet was. We loved seeing all of her animals on her land, especially her little baby kitten JellyBean.

We had a great time camping with our scamp camper ! There is a big flat open spot perfect for a camper nestled in between some trees. We were right next to the ducks and goats and my son absolutely loved them. Edwin’s land is such a groovy spot we will definitely be back !

Weekend Trip to Private secluded camp

Proximity to Sibley State Park and Glacial Lakes Trail is fantastic. The privacy and quiet is great… dark skies, bird sightings, dragonflies! Placement of our camper was important; when we arrived deer flies were out. We strategically positioned our camper to look across the meadow and sunset, and catch a constant breeze so no issues with flies. We were alone and privacy was amazing, but there is room to find level spots for several large campers. Site was far enough away from houses that we could run our generator. Site is ideal for one or a couple of campers that are completely self- contained. Owner was quick to drive us to the spot when we arrived, made sure we were satisfied, and directed us to the bike path.

We loved Rasset Family Farm! Sarah, her kids and their dog spots were super friendly. Our dogs loved the freedom to run and play. It was a quiet enjoyable environment. They had a lot of rain prior to us arriving in our 45’ Freightliner Newmar Super C and we were a little concerned but when we arrived Sarah greeted us and gave us options on where we could park that were easy to access on hard packed roadways. We will be back! We HIGHLY recommend staying here, easy access to interstate to the cities, restaurants, Walmart and shops a few minute drive from their farm.

What a great place to unplug from electronics. The animals were so cute and peaceful. Travis was very accommodating and answered any questions we had. Many acres to roam, weather was amazing as was our site that we had. Many to choose from. Goats were so funny and donkeys were cute and sweet, we wanted to take one home. My one pup thought she was a baby goat I think, she fit right in their pen and hung out several times. Brought home some farm fresh eggs and hamburger for a very inexpensive price. Thank you Travis! We enjoyed our relaxing weekend on your farm. Tammy, Makenna, Tootsie, and Duke
