The Flying J Farm is 250 beautiful rolling acres including 100 acres of forest, 6-acre lake small pond, three streams, and numerous fields for crops and pastures with cows. The owner bought the farm in 1998 for his retirement from a faculty position at the Ohio State university. Two buildings, the farm house and old barn, are original dating back to 1831. These have been restored for current use. The mission of the farm is to restore health both in people though the products produced and in the land by farming in a sustainable way with no conventional chemicals, antibiotics, and use of GMO. We host many visitors including tours and events. An on farm market is available to visitors for purchase of our products including grass-fed beef, maple syrup, and fruits and vegetables. The cabin was built using wood from the farm. It has off-grid electricity meaning it is powered by batteries charged by solar panels. There is not sufficient power for devices with a heating element such as coffee makers and hair dryers. You may charge cell phones. For any other use, please check with the owner. Wild Life. There is an abundance of wildlife to be observed on the farm. Deer can be seen at dusk, raccoons can be seen going through your camp food at night (if you put it in your car), turkeys, hawks, vultures, rabbits, coyotes (heard screaming at night), frogs (especially heard at night), fish (jumping), and many song birds (my favorite, the bobolink, May and June only, nesting in the pastures). Trash. This sustainable farm has no garbage hauling, please carry away your trash.

Super clean! Tom and Melissa were accommodating and responsive. We enjoyed the low maintenance trip. There was even a propane fire pit. Nobody had work! Thanks for having us!

Weekend Trip to The Wild Pines Of Ohio

Great location… very clean… remote enough to be disconnected, but close enough to a gas station/convenient store/highway in case you need anything. Has everything you need. Above all are the owners Tom and Melissa. We originally booked to stay a few months ago, we showed up on the first day, but had to leave within an hour of arriving due to an accident my son had at home. We left immediately and left all of our luggage, coolers, clothes, etc. Not only did they refund our money, but Tom also loaded up all of our stuff and found a way to meet my dad a few days later to give him our things which was a huge help given the situation we were in at the time. It was a 3 hour drive for us and they split the drive with my dad to help. We appreciate them more than they will ever know for helping us during the worst time of our lives.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

Nice spot, easy to get to. The trees are dense so it gets dark early, feels like you’re truly in the woods. The walking path around the lake is well maintained. Plenty of fishing jumping in the morning. The structure is basic but kept us warm and dry! Would come back

This glamping set-up is PERFECT! Tom and Melissa really know how to set up camp. Just bring yourself and whatever food you'd like to cook on the grill and camp stove, and you are set. Thank you again for such a great time! We will be back. ☺️

The glamping site and tent were perfect! Had everything we needed including cooking supplies, a gas stove top, towels, etc. Very clean and the bed was comfortable! Nice gas fire pit area, swings and hammock. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to The Wild Pines Of Ohio

Pine Cove is truly the most private and peaceful spot you could hope for. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Tom & Melissa have put so much thought, care, and attention into every detail of the property. Their directions were spot-on, making it easy to find, and the whole place feels beautifully planned out and well cared for. The setting is serene, with nature all around, and it’s only a short drive to Blue Rock State Park if you’re in the mood for a refreshing dip in the lake. The experience was incredibly calming from start to finish — the perfect escape to recharge and unwind.

This was my second time staying at flying j with my son(5 y/o). Perfect for a spur of the moment adventure. Easy to pull right up to the campsite and great to not have to take down a tent in the morning. Will definitely stay again.

This was a very private, but comfortable spot. It was a unique experience that allowed us to "camp" without lugging everything in- and get a good nights sleep. We had everything we needed. We walked the property, in the woods, and even the road- we were totally alone. This is placed on top of a ridgeline, and when on the road, the views are unbelievable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Ryan and Jodi land was our absolute favorite! They were so friendly upon arrival, and were great at communicating and updates over the weekend and made sure to make themselves available for any questions. We loved how quiet the area was and Ryan and Jodi were so kind to prepare drinking water, firewood, and a camp shower ready for use. We would love to come back and highly recommend!

We had such a great experience while staying at Wild Pines. The hosts, Tom and Melissa, were fantastic. They made sure we had everything that we needed and we had the pleasure of talking to them multiple times during our stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my boyfriend’s birthday. We are already planning our next trip back!

1 night at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

The chapel was the perfect quick getaway. Not having to pack a tent was great and a little weather came in during the early morning but my son never even woke up. Richard came out and introduced himself and made sure we had everything taken care of. There was some good fishing and it was very comfortable. Will definitely be back
