Take a Hike

Over Hill and Dale

We have walking trails throughout the farm, especially around the pond area and to the various pumpkin patches. If you’re up for a little bit more of a hike, we have a wide open lane that will take you up on the hill to hidden oak groves and gorgeous overlooks–and don’t miss the 250+ year-old bur oaks and restored remnant prairie at the bluff overlook. There are many acres to explore, but because the hillside lane is mostly clear of brush, you can just go up as far as you like and come back down any time–you aren’t committed to a long trail at any point.

Here There Be Fairies

The Enchanted Woods

Explore this little patch of hilly woods with twisty trails–it’s a very short hike just beyond the play areas. It’s a perfect spot to explore, and if you look closely, you will find fairy doors up in the trees. Can you find them all?
