Rustic Roots Sanctuary is an organic farm in Spanish Lake. We are close to Columbia Bottom Conservation Area, Fort Bellefontaine and Chain of Rocks Bridge. This area was once all farm land and our site captures that essence perfectly. Everyone who visits describes an immediate feeling of peace and tranquility. Enjoy our perfect country escape 10 minutes from the city, 15 mins from the airport and 20 mins from the Arch! Spanish Lake has historic sites to explore. This is a working farm and throughout the week there will be people working here in the fields. Friendly farm animals also live and work on the farm. Specifically a pony, goats, chickens, a bunny, 2 barn cats and 3 dogs. We have an 3 acres growing organic produce and an Apiary that produces the Best Honey in St. Louis!

Working organic farm

With kids

Great place to observe a working organic farm. Great educational opportunity to expose my son to how good is grown. Something that many urban kids are not exposed to.

Luxe cabin experience in a wonderfu

The rustic roots sanctuary is a really special place tucked into the outskirts of St Louis. Well-tended EVERYTHING from Garden beds to farm sheds to the pristine bathroom shed with immediate and plentiful hot water for a shower and amenities, to the exceptionally well-appointed little lavender cottage that truly had everything I could need and more. I was only there for about 12 hrs but they were so restful and peaceful. Janett was an amazing host. When I head toast Louis again, I will stay here.
