(Please note: I regret to say that the lake is totally covered with algae and therefore closed for boating and fishing until it clears up) (This to follow above comment. We had a 3" rain last night that is moving the algae out. Some will likely remain but it is good enough for boating.) 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.

4th of July Fun!

We had a beautiful time on site 6 on Richard’s property. His campsites were clean, peaceful, and he was very helpful Silentness know where we needed to go on his property and where to fish. We spent our few days borrowing his rowboat on the lake and we caught and released some beautiful bass fish on his fishing pond. Thank you for having us!

Great site

The site was forested , therefore plenty of shade! The center bathroom and shower was a great perk. The property overall is lovely and private. Our visit was during the week so we had the area to ourselves. Richard was a gracious host.

Site 1

I’ve been motorcycle camping from New Hampshire, back home to Alabama, and stopped here for what ended up being two nights due to rain. Flying J Farm was a beautiful, massive spread of land, that was incredibly family friendly. Richard was super flexible with my later-in-the-day arrival time and friendly. Couldn’t recommend this spot enough if you’re in the area!

WTF

Richard creeps me out. He seemed friendly at first. But I started coming and using his land alot which is a good thing you'd think. But as I showed up more the less friendly he got. People are weird .
