This is a 3rd generation "Family Farm" of a different sort I suppose. Seems there's a bit of everything here, and arguably not enough of anything. At least for conventional farming. So we've learned to do things a bit differently. Our main crop is wine and juice grapes since our topography, climate, and soil type makes it a premier location for that. But with 30+ acres of forested hillsides, low ground, and natural areas we've evolved into a mixed farm and forest enterprise. Our goal is to utilize the productivity of all our property while still retaining the basic character and usefulness of the wild areas. Letting each thing be what it wants to be and does best on it's own. Flow, not force. So our year starts early with tapping maple trees and making maple syrup. Plus there's grape trimming about this time as well. When the forest floor starts to green up a bit later, we start digging Ramps, or Wild Leeks in the woods. Most of these will go to the more trendy Chicago restaurants, but we also have some local sales. Next comes inoculating winter-cut logs with Shiitake spawn for next years mushroom production. This year we also conducted a few hands-on workshop seminars on mushroom growing as well. Then it's on to our raised bed herb & veggie gardens. (Fresh herbs are just so much fun to cook with!) We grow enough for our own yearly use, as well as some for direct sales. Summer keeps us busy tending all the different crops here and trying to keep up. But there's that steady progression of fresh veggies to eat. Yum !!! Fall brings our annual Grape U-Pick in September and October. And we try to time related crops like mums, pumpkins, and gourds for this same time frame. Makes the place a bit more interesting. Late fall is when we bring in firewood to heat the house and workshop. Stacks of wood everywhere. Hopefully before the 1st snow. In winter it's time to fire up the woodworking shop and be a bit creative. Build furniture, equipment maintenance, who knows what next years projects will include. I like to keep everybody guessing. So, that's what goes on here. You're welcome to check it out, lend a hand, relax back at camp, walk the vineyards and/or forest, or just breathe and relax. That's up to you. But I would recommend visiting a few of the fine local wineries. Seems there's a festival going on at one or another of them just about every weekend. Good music, good wine, good times. And there's the Lake Michigan beaches a few miles down the road. Yeah, this is a pretty casual place here, love meeting new people, very open to civil discussions of all sorts. However, rude, ill mannered people will probably enjoy staying elsewhere. Just say'n.

Mulln-Heim Vineyards

We really enjoyed our stay! John put a lot of effort into making the campsite functional and comfortable. Our two dogs had a fun time exploring. It was very close to the Warren Dunes and a very nice grocery store. We will definitely make the effort to return.

Camp #2 - The Terrace

John's land and camping space is amazing! Our site was nestled into the woods just enough to have awesome tree coverage, but still be able to enjoy the vast space among his vineyard. The tree coverage kept the space cool from the summer heat, and even kept us dry during some light rainfall. John provides a smoker/grill, some camping necessities, a firepit, porta potty, well water, and wood for purchase. He was a great host, friendly guy, and would definitely stay again!

Camp #2 - The Terrace

Remote, yet convenient

This place is great, especially if you have dogs that can be off-leash without causing problems. We walked around the vineyard and played fetch until our pups were too tired to move. The location is right by everything, 15 minutes from the Warren Dunes, and minutes from multiple wineries. The site also has some thoughtful amenities that helped us out since we forgot a few things. The owner is super cool, we had a great time! I would take this place over a packed state campground any day.

Vineyard Campsite

We loved John's ''Vineyard'' camping site. The shade is so lovely, and it is very private, with plenty of space. He was very attentive and made sure we were ok.

Camp #2 - The Terrace

It is a neat property, right on the wine trail. It was very private and quiet. Already looking forward to coming back. John was a nice and attentive host.
