We purchased the property in 2003 in order to escape the city life and be closer to nature. Over the years we have developed our sustainable farm, raising grass-fed cattle, chickens, and various other animals over the years. We also breed Bernese Mountain Dogs, so you'll see some of our pack wandering the property. We work hard to maintain practices that heal the land and preserve it for the future. No chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides or herbicides are used here. We raised our four children here and have made many memories together as we learned to farm, build and enjoy our land. We continue to create and build towards a long-term vision, creating a haven for artisans with self-sufficient living in mind.
Welcome to our inviting custom built cottage. It is located on our property, approximately 300' from on our home on our 55 acre land plot, located 10 minutes outside of St. Joseph, MN. We are very near St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict. Hiking trails located on our property as well as nearby County parks and St. John's University. We are 6 miles from the Wobegon Trail (76 miles long) which is great for biking, roller blading, walking and running.
Come explore Creekwood Acres which is host to a great deal of wild life as well as sustainably raised animals with a process we call rejuvenative farming. Wander through the woods and listen to the birds, watch monarch butterflies, our cattle and hear the, frogs, crickets and occasionally distant coyotes. The Watab Creek runs through the property which consists of fields, forest and a pond.
Our cozy cottage was built by our family using lumber sawn on our property. There are two double beds up in the loft accessible by ladder and one queen size sofa sleeper (very comfortable!) on the main level . A wood burning stove keeps the cottage cozy in cooler weather. There is a bathroom with flushing toilet and shower. Electricity keeps the cottage aglow and runs a refrigerator, microwave, sound system and fans. Also available for your convenience, an apartment size range and kitchen sink.
Enjoy a fire in a private fire ring near the cottage. Firewood available for purchase (for exterior fire ring). Enjoy a wood-fired sauna upon request. The sauna has been known to get quite hot!
Theres so much more to come and your current support to help with our reinvestment in Creekwood Acres is so greatly appreciated!!!
Side Note: We truly strive to accommodate everybody's needs and wishes. The more we host, the more we understand that some people just want to be left to enjoy a quiet weekend while others love to engage and develop a connection. We enjoy engaging in conversation and developing connections and yet completely respect the desire for others privacy to the utmost degree. We try to let the guest set the stage and expectations based on the first greeting and any encounters. Please feel free to state your hopes and wishes.
Also..., we are passionate about our farming methods with a strong sense of homesteading. If you are interested in learning more about regenerative farming, we are happy to chat! Our hope is to bring people back to the land in a holistic, spiritual, and conscientious manner.

Farm Glamping and Camping: Unplug and Reconnect with Nature's Rhythm
Escape the everyday and embrace the simple joys of countryside living with our signature glamping experience. Our thoughtfully appointed site features a comfortable queen-sized bed where you’ll drift off to sleep surrounded by the gentle sounds of farm life.
Glamping: Wake to beautiful views of our vibrant pasture and peaceful hay fields from your private deck with two inviting rocking chairs, the perfect spot to savor your morning coffee or evening beverage. As day turns to night, join fellow guests around our shared fire pit to toast marshmallows and share stories beneath Minnesota’s starry sky.
Our glamping sites seamlessly complement the farm’s other experiences. Attend a Thursday or Saturday pizza night or join a goat yoga session during your stay. On nights without scheduled activities, guests are welcome to use the camp stove to prepare their own meals or we can make recommendations on local eateries.
Camping: Situated along our field road are two spots between our hay field and pasture. Wake up to sounds of our cattle and enjoy a beautiful view of our growing hay field.
Pet Policy
Unlike our other Farm event spaces which are pet-free, we welcome your furry friend to stay with you in our glamping tents. Pets must remain leashed when outside the tent and stay within the designated glamping area throughout their visit.
We do have dogs at the farm that are friendly, but not on leash.
Enhance Your Stay with Add-On Experiences:
Farm-Style Breakfast: Start your day with fresh baked caramel rolls, orange juice and French press coffee.
Wood-Fired Sauna: Rejuvenate body and spirit in our authentic sauna experience
Cold Plunge: Invigorate your senses with a refreshing cold plunge after the sauna

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

The glamping tents were exactly what we needed to feel comfortable. Friends stayed in the other tent and the shared space was perfect. The farm is beautiful and all the animals are curious and welcoming to anyone who wants to interact with them. And of course, the pizza(!) was absolutely amazing. Seeing and hearing the sandhill cranes was an unexpected treat for all of us.

The host went way beyond to make our stayenjoyable and memorable.
Some reviews said the site was to close to the home. But really it was really no closer than another camper at most camping grounds. We barely saw the owners unless they were asking if we needed more wood or anything else. I admit I was a little nervous at first, but I would and will stay here again.

2 nights at Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm
Our stay at Alpha and Omega Farm was rustically elegant in the best possible way. The simplicity was endearing, welcoming, and truly a breath of fresh air.
My daughter and I felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. Our hosts were incredibly kind and did everything they could to make sure we had a wonderful stay.
One of my favorite parts was simply being on the farm—falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the animals, getting the chance to feed the donkeys and cows, and having a place where you can sit back, settle in, and be intentional about letting go and enjoying where you are.
We treated ourselves to both the caramel rolls and the smörgåstårta breakfast, and both were amazing. The caramel rolls were soft, simple, absolutely delicious, and literally delivered hot from the oven. The smörgåstårta breakfast was a delight—the cheeses, meats, fruit, and bread paired together seamlessly. Nothing was overly complicated, and that simplicity somehow made everything even better.
The bathrooms were clean and well cared for. They are outhouse-style, with running water outside for handwashing, but this didn't detract from our stay at all—it simply fit the rustic experience.
We left feeling refreshed and grateful for the chance to slow down. Sometimes the best getaway isn't about having more—it's about having less to distract you from what matters. ❤️

Weekend Trip to The little cabin
The Little Cabin was a sweet and private tiny space in a private area with lots of wooded paths around to explore. My senior dog, Sven, was as happy as can be wandering the paths and sleeping cozily on the floor of the cabin. This is a very tiny space; in my case, just right for the two of us. It was incredibly quiet over the weekend; I saw only one car on the gravel road out front, and the air was filled with wonderful bird, cricket, and frog sounds. The property was very private and I actually heard nor saw any humans at all, which I very much appreciated. I will be very excited to return again soon!
