The Farm was originally named 2nd 4o by my parents. They planned to live the 2nd forty years of their lives together on the farm. My parents both grew up on the southside of Chicago - where having a tree in your yard meant that you had "made it". They decided to use the land to grow Christmas trees. This did not last long :) but the saplings my dad planted by hand are still here & maybe 70' tall!
Then my husband & I bought The Farm in 2017 for the 2nd forty years of our life & my parents built their little house right here. My husband and I immediately knew that our dream was to grow a different kind of "tree", so in 2019 we were among the first group to receive our license to grow hemp. We are passionate about both the hemp and cannabis plants!
In 2020 when it finally became legal to grow cannabis, we immediately added that to our garden as well and 2nd 40 to 420 was born, or shall I say planted. We currently rent out our 2 RV's 3 Yurts & primitive sites , we also offer group bookings & Canna-friendly B&B options. We plan to add septic & electric hook-ups for RV's in the near future.
Come join us in Growing our Dreams!

This was a wonderful stop for us. Both the host were incredibly nice. The location was beautiful!!!
We saw lots of fireflies and the view of the stars was amazing.
The location is one to keep an eye out on as they plan on adding more to it.
The only downside was there were ticks, just make sure you check for them and you are good.
If given the opportunity again we 100% would come back.

Accommodated me on a same day request. Everything as pictured. Host was thorough, welcomed my dog and I. Unique experience with the farm, large property for a night time and morning walk. Woke up to a rooster and peaceful sunrise. All amenities were available as mentioned, such as RV hookups (electric, water, sewer). As a solo traveler, great option for me. Ideal stop at the Virginia - North Carolina border. Will keep as a future accommodation.

Great for swimming, putting in your kayak or tube. You will also notice the remnants of a larger infrastructure that was once a private school campus.

Great vibes on the land, and if you are into the world of medicinal plants, they are abundant! I had a great time spending moments with Lucretia by the fire and making medicine with her. There’s a converted school bus greenhouse and some trails in the back leading to a tree house. Lucretia has such an open, free-spirited vibe and the land reflects that! Khalid was out of town but I’ve met ju and he has such a sweet vibe as well! Hope to catch him the next one.
Perfect spot the park my truck and sleep and I checked out the Campervan, it’s SO AWESOME. Definitely stay there if you can. It’ll inspire you what you can do with a van set up. Hope to be back soon 🍄🟫

This campground is definitely a hidden gem!
Tons of space, full hookups, trails, and a great place for family gatherings. We were at site 11 which was secluded and facing the trees. The bathhouse was adorable with plenty of space. They have a gazebo with lots of picnic tables perfect for parties. The grassy area between the campground and the gazebo is big enough for multiple games of soccer / badminton / volleyball …anything you can think of. There’s hiking, the James River and what appears to be a dog washing area. Also a community fire pit. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful and quiet. I host was quick to answer any questions we had.
Getting there: The hosts directions are very clear and get you to the site with no problems. The cinder roads in and out are well maintained If it is your first trip I do recommend going during daylight. Be on the lookout for deer they are everywhere. And there is one way in and one way out.
Campsite: Sites are all parallel pull through starting with #1 as the first site. I recommend turning left at site 1 and driving around to the back because of the angle. Each site has a fire ring and a table. Note there is no lighting. Each site has water, sewage and electricity; the power boxes have plug ins for 20, 30 & 50 amps (unless noted). There are well kept bath houses at the pavilion located about 75 yards away.
Activities: There is lots of trails for walking, hiking and bicycling. There is a lot to see including wildlife and some of the buildings from years gone by. Although you are out in the middle of nowhere, it’s a quick trip to the highway and close to local shops and stores as well as close to Midlothian and Richmond.
Overall: This was a great break from it all. I loved the quiet and I definitely look forward to returning again.

There many words that can describe this place but one that quickly comes to mind is Magical! This hidden gem in Powhatan county has so much to offer for outdoor enthusiasts and even if you’re just looking to escape the busy city life and have a more slow pace and peaceful rejuvenation this is definitely the place to be! All the RV spots are gravel but leveled , full hookups, pull-thru and have fire ring and picnic table. The added bonus is the shelter with several picnic tables, grill and bathroom with flush toilets and showers if needed! Now it is in the middle of nowhere, so I would recommend to bring all the items you’re going to need for the duration of the trip (including bug spray). Cell service wasn’t too bad, I have Verizon and was able to get minimal 3 bars consistently. Overall I enjoyed my stay and cannot wait to come back here soon!

Camping at Lacretia and Khalid's land is such a beautiful vibe! I travel and live in a short bus and there was more than enough room to park and be comfortable. There's a fire pit that truly came in handy being that it was below freezing and while being outside we still were warm. 10/10 recommend to families and single travelers!!
