Please note : Local authorities have issued a ban on open fires so sorry. The Flying J Farm is 250 beautiful rolling acres including 100 acres of forest, 6-acre lake small pond, three streams, and numerous fields for crops and pastures with cows. The owner bought the farm in 1998 for his retirement from a faculty position at the Ohio State university. Two buildings, the farm house and old barn, are original dating back to 1831. These have been restored for current use. The mission of the farm is to restore health both in people though the products produced and in the land by farming in a sustainable way with no conventional chemicals, antibiotics, and use of GMO. We host many visitors including tours and events. An on farm market is available to visitors for purchase of our products including grass-fed beef, maple syrup, and fruits and vegetables. The cabin was built using wood from the farm. It has off-grid electricity meaning it is powered by batteries charged by solar panels. There is not sufficient power for devices with a heating element such as coffee makers and hair dryers. You may charge cell phones. For any other use, please check with the owner. Wild Life. There is an abundance of wildlife to be observed on the farm. Deer can be seen at dusk, raccoons can be seen going through your camp food at night (if you put it in your car), turkeys, hawks, vultures, rabbits, coyotes (heard screaming at night), frogs (especially heard at night), fish (jumping), and many song birds (my favorite, the bobolink, May and June only, nesting in the pastures).

We enjoyed our time at Richard’s farm. Our morning coffee ritual was enhanced by the lake views and birds visiting the site. We are looking for forward to come back soon!

Absolutely stunning property when we came down the long gravel drive the owner was moving cattle which was a very fun surprise 😂. Very nice owner and allowed us to bring our own wood. The site was beautiful with a nice view of the lake. And best of all because we went in the summer, the sun rise was behind the trees so it didn’t get hot until 12.

East to get to, yet secluded and quiet. Fellow camp sites are slightly visible, well separated by trees. Great first experience with our 5yr old.
