Our farm started as a soy field and has since exploded into a biodiverse forest of fruit and nut trees, vegetables, mushrooms, and more. The land is designed to mimic the strengths of a natural ecosystem so we plant to replicate the forest edge... except everything is edible. Think Willy Wonka's factory but with plants:)

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    At Jay's campsite, you're in for a wonderfully private and peaceful getaway. Visitors rave about the seclusion and tranquility, with many appreciating the large, open spaces to explore and relax. Jay and his family receive high marks for their warm hospitality and helpfulness, often suggested as highlights of the stay. While the amenities like electricity and fire pits add convenience, the absence of nearby toilets is a point to consider.
