31mi from Frankfort · 2 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

South of Lexington, in the heart of the Bluegrass, our little farm is making a big impact on our community. We raise chickens for eggs and meat, sheep for lamb meat, occasionally turkeys and a wide variety of produce and berries, along with bees for honey. Our peacocks are here for pure pleasure, but we do pick up feathers and design crafts with them from time to time. Whether we're planting seeds, gathering eggs, or rounding up sheep, there's always something happening on the farm. Close by there's lots to do: golfing, fishing, boating, hiking, birding or touring the bourbon trail.

Staying at Sticky Wicket Farms was a great experience in no small part due to the wonderful host Leslie. We opted for the quiche and cinammon rolls and both were homemade, hot and delicious. Having full hook-ups was very convenient. We really enjoyed walking the drive and seeing the animals. Thank you, Leslie!!

10/10! I really recommend this place! I lived here for 1 month and I loved it. Trisha is very nice and the location is perfect. You got 10 minutes drive to all the stores you might need. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. There is nothing to complain about!

I stayed here a whole month and it was great! 10/10 would recommend! I hope it's available in the spring when I'm back in this town. The place is easy to park in I got a 33 long travel trailer. It's a quiet neighborhood, close to all the stores. They are really nice people to deal with. I have nothing bad to say about this place! I love it.

Leslie was very accommodating. She met us upon arrival. She was very pleasant. She has a nice farm. We got some good fire wood and farm fresh eggs. It felt very private, which was good. We spent almost a week there. It was very relaxing 🔥🌜⭐

I had a great time staying here! The site was easy to access, and Trisha was very responsive during our stay. This is a quiet neighborhood that is easy to walk around in. We were able to get to the Highland Festival Grounds every day with no problems, and there is a grocery store within walking distance as well. Overall this was a great location for our stay!

Weekend Trip to Sticky Wicket Farms

This cute little farm was a great, local place to try out our new trailer! Leslie let us run our dog off leash in her fully fenced orchard, which was great for him to burn some energy! We would definitely come back.

Wesley was very welcoming and told us about the area. We didn’t spend a huge amount of time there because we were visiting family in Lancaster. But everything was nice and clean. Our dog had plenty of room to run and we enjoyed that also.

Great place to set up camp. I stayed for several nights and had a peaceful experience. Leslie is an absolutely wonderful person, and such a hard worker!! It was enjoyable to watch the animals and walk my dog in her orchard! She is in the process of creating a very cute BandB. There is many interesting attractions nearby!

Camping here was really amazing in so many ways… but mostly because we really felt welcome. The host was prompt with communication, clear with instruction, and attentive to our comfort. We also loved the scenery during our drive, the view from our campsite, and the *Incredible* quiche. Highly recommend!!!!

We stayed 2 nights at the farm in our class B. Toured distilleries all around the area and loved coming back to this beautiful setting. Gravel pad is level, it’s easy in and out and amenities are as advertised. Host checked on us during bad weather. Hospitality is exceptional - Will def return!
