Our 130 acre property is currently an organic heirloom vegetable seed farm that is only 12 minutes from Ann Arbor. We've converted this former conventional agricultural land to a beautiful oasis of Certified Organic seed production and homesteading (see www.natureandnurtureseeds.com). The rolling land is 1/2 forest/wetlands and 1/2 fields, making it a biodiverse hot spot for plants, animals, and fungi. Nature abounds at Nature and Nurture Farm so come enjoy our private camping spots.

Campers consistently describe their stays at Nature and Nurture Farm as peaceful and relaxing, nestled in beautiful surroundings with plenty of wildlife. The hosts, particularly Michael, are noted for their warm hospitality and helpfulness. The farm provides a variety of activities, from hiking on well-kept trails to enjoying the serene views and sunsets. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, the proximity to the highway is mentioned, though it does not seem to detract significantly from the overall experience.

We spent a night at Michael's place for a video shooting project and it was great experience! Michael gave us a tour upon arrival and it was very informative. There is an electrical hookup on site and away from the house which gave us privacy. And the portapotty nearby was very clean. Michael was very responsive and helpful when we had questions later that day. Highly recommended anyone wanting to enjoy the nature while still having the convenience of electrical hookup.

Michaels land was my first experience using this app and it was fantastic! Absolutely beautiful meadow with great view of the sunset. I saw at least 20 deer too. The place has a great vibe, I felt very safe and at home, Michael was a great host, very friendly and easy to communicate with

We had a great stay on Michael's land which is beautiful and relaxing. Camping is secluded and quiet with the sound of wild grasses, flowers blowing in the wind and bird song. I look forward to staying again, Thankyou Michael
