Campsite on The Farm

Unique and peaceful experience. We paid for the farm tour and it was really fun to learn about off-grid, small scale farming. Location feels remote but is within a quick drive of Taylor's Falls and Wild River State Park. Enjoyed 3 days there just recharging and taking quick trips to the State Parks.

Very nice area and gardens! Loved how seating was provided! Would definitely go again!

Kelsey and her farm are both so so sweet and wonderful! I was sad I had to leave so soon. There are lots of flat camping spots, porta potty is clean, fire ring is stocked, and the farm is beautiful. I was sung to sleep by wood thrushes, coyotes and barred owls. Kelsey was a wonderful host and made sure I was oriented well. A great place for anyone needing a peaceful refuge!

Such a fun experience, lovely space, and accommodating host. The site and atmosphere was everything we had hoped for and needed. Can't wait to stay again next year!

Our stay was awesome! We wanted to get away for a weekend for my partner's birthday and to get out of the cities for a bit. Kelsey was so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed, and offered some great recommendations for things to see. The campsite was clean and convenient, and we loved it. Highly recommend.

Kelsey was great! Welcoming via messaging and in person. She made me, my 11-year-old granddaughter, and my friend feel right at home for our overnight of camping during MEA weekend. We had fun despite temperatures dipping to the low 30s at night with snow flurries the next morning. Bean bag toss, migrating geese and star gazing, and the crow of a rooster across the road all helped. Kelsey's pollinator trail must be amazing mid- to late-summer; we enjoyed walking it even in its dormancy. Kelsey's land is close to both Wild River and Interstate Parks. Because of the weather, we opted for a walk through nearby Franconia Sculpture Park. A stop afterward for take-out from Kelsey's recommended, Juneberry Café, Taylors Falls, was the right way to end our cold and COVID-conscious trip. Now that we've met Kelsey, we're planning to visit her Heirloomista site for her handcrafted soaps. And, given that her site is only an hour from the Cities, we'll plan to return. Thanks again for your hospitality, Kelsey!

The farm is magical! The experience was only made more special by Kelsey, our host. I highly recommend taking a farm tour—it gave us a new appreciation for the farm. This was a great experience—we’ll be back!

Great spot not far from Twin Cities! I wished I had come earlier in the summer to see the farm (my visit was at the very end of the season). Great host - I recommend this place.

Staying at Kelsey’s farm was just the best experience. When we pulled up, Kelsey was out working in her farm getting prepared for the upcoming freeze. We had told her we were interested in starting a small farm ourselves, so she encouraged us to book a tour of the farm, which we happily did. Kelsey took the time to show us around, answer all of our questions and explain all of the amazing sustainable practices she has going on at her farm.

We had the opportunity to see all of her vegetable rows, the hoop house, took a walk through the pollinator garden, and had the pleasure of seeing her beehive.

There are plenty of places to set up camp, though we opted to sleep in our truck because of the unexpected freezing temperatures. She said we were welcome to move about in the camping area if we wanted to get away from road noise (which there isn’t any). Her farm stand, though closed due to Covid, was adorable. She also had a lovely fire ring set up with plenty of firewood and seating. Fresh water was also available and the toilet was super clean, with convenient lamps to utilize.

Barred and great horned owls, sandhill cranes, and the occasional bellow of nearby cows could be heard, adding to the ambience of the setting.

Kelsey is incredibly friendly, and a great host. She deserves all of the support for what she is doing for her community on her small farm. I highly recommend a stay at Kelsey’s farm.
