The Farm used to be part of a larger, old farm until one day it was parceled off. It sat vacant for 15 years until I bought it and turned in into an off-grid, working farm. It's now it the seventh season of growing heirloom vegetables, fruit and herbs. Sign up for a farm tour or shop the Farm Shop to stock up on all the local produce + proteins. As a nature-lover, I designated 2 acres to pollinator habitat. Come walk the path through and discover all the critters that like to hang out in this safe haven. Learn more about this land: Enjoy an night on the farm: Leave your tent at home and camp in the open-air a-frame tucked in to a pocket of aspen and evergreens in the pollinator habitat. Stay up to watch the star with no light pollution. Wake up to the cranes visiting the fields in the morning.

No frills, all chills camping.
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.

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!

Great spot to take a deep breath.
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.

Great Escape from the Cities
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!
