The land consists of: 9acres of forest, pastures, two ponds, orchards, hoop house, tropical greenhouse, relocated English threshing barn from 1850,  market gardens, chickens,guineas, goats ( 2018), bees, stocked pond, extensive fencing, walk-in cooler, cellar, permaculture design layout, on site farm market on Sundays 11-6.Learn more about this land:Can host a few camp sites, three , one would be secluded close to pond.

Nightfall Farm

We're bringing my family farm back to life. My parents farmed here until the 1980's, but couldn't make a profit with corn and soybeans. My husband, Nate, and I moved home in 2014, and started turning the fields into pastures. Today, we run Nightfall Farm, raise animals with respect, and sell pasture-raised meat locally. Come wander the 125 acres of woods, wetlands, and farm. Check out the animals in our pastures, and walk along the Muscatatuck River. Enjoy a quiet fire. Hear the roar of frogs calling in Spring. Chase fireflies. Behold a family farm coming back to life.

Your tent is on a raised wooden platform with a bench...perfect for watching the sunrise. Take off your shoes and stay a while!

The Sunrise Cabin is the perfect getaway on our organic farm, complete with queen bed, porch, picnic table, and fire pit.

Watch the sunrise through the (salvaged!) French doors!

You can purchase eggs, pork, turkey, lamb, and chicken from our farm. We raise our animals outside on pasture. We move them to fresh pasture almost every day, and feed a non-GMO feed. Learn more about our farm at www.nightfallfarm.com.

The Hipcamp site is just behind our barn (built in the 1800's). We like having guests on the farm. In the winter and spring, your neighbors will be sheep, lambs, and laying hens. From April to September, your neighbors will be baby chicks!

Grab your friends and wander in the woods. We're building a trail system, but for now, it's all fair game. We'll give you a map so you know where to go - and then just have fun exploring.

Wildlife is abundant on our organic farm. We see turtles, butterflies, lightning bugs, frogs, and more. Come explore and see what you can find on the farm!

Rest with the one you love on our comfy queen bed!

Happy campers checking out the cabin and porch.
