Twenty years of growing this farm... Not what grows here but the farm itself! Stone and brick pulled from the ground till we found the beautiful earth beneath and built an incredible community around it. Or rather, it grew itself from the energy that surrounds it. It's a special spot where you may happen upon a fire in the sugar shack while we boil city collected sap into maple syrup or have an open jam night with world class jazz musicians. Enjoy the morning serenade of our rooster! Really, just come and be here. Though we think we're pretty cool, a few things to note that you may not think are so cool: There is a train that runs directly behind the farm. Light sleepers, may want to bring ear plugs. We try to accommodate parking your car on site but it's weather and situation conditional. Assume the possibility that you may need to park on the street. Bring your tent to The Vaudeville! (RVs, campers, trailers, vans please see the ** at the bottom). Our urban farm is smack in the middle of Chicago only a 10 minute bike or train ride from Downtown, Lake Michigan, The Mag Mile and all Chicago has to offer! Bike the Lake Shore Trail, walk the 606, kayak the Chicago River, catch a blues show or Hawks game or just relax with the goats and chickens in the 9,000 square foot farm that we absolutely love to share with fellow campers! ** We have stopped hosting RVs, campers/vans, pull behinds and larger vehicles because we are finding it difficult to get them in the entrance gate but if you feel amazingly capable with your backing in skills in your rig and you're super patient, laid back and extra cool, let us know and we may be able to make it work!! :)Bring your tent (or request gear from us) to The Vaudeville!

During High season however only street parking is available and exceptions can be made when possible.

Nicky is an incredible host. She has been able to provide a nice place to stay in Chicago not far from all the attraction! Thanks again Nicky :)

It was a good, inexpensive, place to stay for the weekend of Riot Fest when hotels were jacking up their rates. I liked the animals and Nicky was friendly and helpful.

Neat little spot in the middle of the city! Safe, and there is goats to pet. Plenty of public transport nearby.

Tent camped. Nicky was very hospitable. Loved the set up and the atmospheric night lights. Parked right next to my tent. Nice clean portable toilet and outdoor furniture. Ear plugs recommended as trains are noisy but otherwise had a lovely 3 night stay.
