Terra Growers is a 100 year-old organic family farm in Springfield WI near Waunakee. We raise free-range chickens (for eggs), grow an extensive variety of vegetables, tend to several fruit orchards, and grow a variety of berries. Terra Growers also has a year-round on-farm store, events open to the public, multiple campsites for rent, as well as extensive volunteer opportunities.Pitch your tent on our organic farm! Enjoy solitude just 20 mins from downtown Madison! Be one with nature, relax, glamp, or volunteer! We’re a certified organic farm so there are always lots of cool things happening. Features of our listing include: community patio (across from our store), 15 individual campsites including several drive-up sites, several RV sites, access to hot and cold water, community fire pit, newer outhouse, outdoor shower (hot and cold water), bike path, bird watching, farm tours, and our on-farm store All Good Things (open daily!). We offer delicious free-range eggs, apples, peaches, plums, mulberries, cherries, blackberries, raspberries, currants, almost any vegetable you can think of, honey, flower arrangements, jellies, jams, herbs and much more! We also have firewood for sale. Firewood bundles are located behind the outhouse ($5/bundle). We operate mostly on a “park and walk” basis but have several drive-up sites available however please do not drive to any of our campsites without permission. There are times when the ground is too wet (even if it looks fine to drive on). You may use the black HipCart in front of the store for transporting your personal belongings, eggs, firewood, etc to your campsite. Please note that some of our campsites do not have fire pits yet. In the event you choose a campsite that does not have a fire pit, you may talk to us about adding one or use our larger community fire pit. The community fire pit is denoted on our map which is at the end of the photo lineup in this listing. Laminated copies of our map are also available in the HipCamp Central bin located inside our farm store. When it comes to animals here’s the scoop: there’s Ruby the Red Heeler who is two years old and lovely and lively and whose only flaw is that she barks at small children. She is harmless, however. We have several other dogs who belong to our farmhands who are mostly penned up. We also have a “mouser” (farm cat named Halo who hunts small rodents) so please do not feed her or she will stop hunting. We also have a couple of hundred chickens—only the most picturesque varieties of course. :) And we currently have five pigs (4 girls and one boy named Kevin Bacon). They joined us in the summer of 2023 and have already tripled in size! Check out the hilarious Instagram video of Kevin freaking out when he learned of his new name! Thank you for reading this and thank you for booking your next camping trip with Terra Growers Organic Farm! We look forward to hosting you! Jolenta and Elliott, Proprietors Terra Growers Organic Farm Eat well. Be kind. 👩‍🌾 🌸 🍎 P.S. Recently some HipCampers drove on our land without permission, invited guests without permission, let both their dogs run off-leash, and built a fire pit in the middle of a group of campsites. We regret that we must point out that close coordination with us is necessary if you need a drive-up site and/or other accommodations. Just contact us to discuss. We are very responsive. Thanks!

My second time now staying here and nothing short of a pleasure. The farm and all it brings create a great environment, and Elliott is very kind as well as a fun and passionate host to boot. If you’re looking for a great place to stay owned by good people who care about doing good, look no further!

We loved the friendly welcoming atmosphere of the farm! We only stayed one night but it would have been awesome to stay longer and learn more about what goes on there. Beautiful property, I will definitely think of staying there next time I'm in the area

Mixed feelings

· September 2024

Tent

A bit of a mixed experience here. Initially was interested in visiting a working farm but did not really want to set camp 50 yards from a pig pen. I did not get to see the other campsites but the one we had did not have a fire ring or picnic bench, so quite rustic. The outhouse was quite close and in good working order. For camping I think a spot away from the buzz of the farm would have been preferable, the mooing of the cows kept us awake all night. It was OK.
