Experience a day in the life on an Amish farm. We are a quaint farm who enjoy the simple things life has to offer. Come bring your tent and sleep under the night sky. For those not ready to take on such a rustic sleeping arrangement, we have a camper available for rent that sleeps between 6-9 people. Or you can bring your own. What does our farm have to offer that you can not get most anywhere else, is the option of an experience. Come have a meal cooked over the open fire. Bake bread or cookies, you can even mill your own wheat! Our wheat has been in the family for generations, and we've been told is the softest and tastiest bread around (try it with our homemade apple butter!) Take a ride on our customized wagon. Where we pop open a table for you to enjoy a picnic with sunset views. Or stop by and say hello to the horses on our well loved buggy rides. Bring your bicycles along and take a trip into town. There are wonderful shops with homemade goodies. Looking for handcrafted furniture, antiques, or just an enjoyable walk around town as buggies go by it's all just a ride away. Do you love animals and adventure? Aikman wildlife is right down the road, and the animals are always excited for visitors to come on by for an interaction you will never forget. We are accustom to our more relaxed pace of life, and we want to share that with others. This also means that we do not have a phone in our home. So if you give us a call and leave a message, we will try and get back to you as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience, and we really hope you come visit us soon!Stay in a Camper on ourAmish farm nestled in the heart of Amish Country, Douglas County Illinois. We're located just 45 min. from Champaign & Decatur, 5 minutes from the Aikman Wildlife Adventure & 35 min. from the fishing spots & walking trails at Walnut Point State Park.
