Nature and Nurture Farm

Our 130 acre property is currently an organic heirloom vegetable seed farm that is only 12 minutes from Ann Arbor. Part of it was formerly owned by the Egeler family who at one time owned quite a bit of Marshall Rd and part of it was owned by the Mersereau family. It was formerly a conventional farm, but we've converted it to organic seed production (see www.natureandnurtureseeds.com). The rolling land is 1/2 forest/wetlands and 1/2 fields, making it a biodiverse hot spot for plants, animals, and fungi.

Trash

Idk if this lonely chair was here because this is a perfect shade tree, but I used it and loved it either way.

Be Wild and Free

This is a 76 acre farm in a rural agricultural area.  Learn more about this land:This is a 76 acre "farm" that has been allowed to rest for the last 20 some years, surrounded by large agricultural fields.  There are areas of pasture, woods, and wetlands.  This is a very rustic piece of property, with no amenities.  Just a chance to get away for some fresh air.  

Searching for the perfect tent spot with a sunset that lasted forever.

Little sign telling you where to turn in! We almost missed it!

You can set your tent up just about anywhere in these beautiful fields.

Our little Prius did fine on the farm road, but it may have been tricky if it was wet. You could always park near the road and hike it!

Admiring the sun sinking down behind the horizon.

Jumping for joy at how wonderful this place was!

Great spot to park a popup or small camper near to the bonfire. 

34Long Haul Flower Farm

Long Haul Farm is an organic flower farm in Chelsea, MI dedicated to sustainably growing plants, family, community, and soil biology for generations, the long haul!

--- 2024 update ----

We are doing less flower growing that we did before, as life has taken us to work outside of our own space. However, we've shifted to more stewardship on our property and the adjacent preserve. We'd love to guide you on a hike and teach about the local ecology, flora, and fauna too!  The goats and chickens continue to provide joyful entertainment as well. 

--- AN OFFERING --- 

Acknowledging that this land was unceded by the people who previously occupied it, we're offering that anyone with indigenous ancestry can stay for reduced rates, just message us and ask! 

-------- History --------

Growing up, I used to come here to visit my great-aunt & uncle's horse ranch. My great uncle grew up visiting his great uncle who was one of the first in our family on this land. They were animal and nature lovers, and in their retirement, sold 130 acres to The Nature Conservancy, all of which is now protected as a county nature preserve.

Unfortunately, 11 years ago, my great-uncle and aunt had passed, and we had to sell the family land.

Serendipitously, as we were looking for a farm homestead to move to, we reconnected with the owners of the land, and they were just deciding to sell it. My family was able to buy back the family land and continue the legacy.

-------- Onwards ----

Kathryn and I are restarted our cut-flower farm and hoping to develop a permaculture inspired orchard and keep chickens and pigs. We love living here surrounded by extensive state and county parks and recreation land, while still being close enough to Chelsea and Ann Arbor for all that they provide.

Our aim is to create a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable atmosphere for our visitors. We hope to provide a refuge in nature and perhaps even some education of flowers or wildlife.

Join us in carrying on the legacy of family land stewardship and love for natural spaces!

Our new favorite extra is the farm fresh breakfast.

Self serve firewood hut provides easy access to quality seasoned hardwood. Each cubby is $10, so you can choose 

There's plenty of space for a car, and tents. Extra parking nearby for groups. 

Additional space nearby, and the compost toilet is just to the right. 

Another view of the sunset coming through to the campsite. A nearby trail goes ~1 mile through the adjacent nature preserve

A trail up the to hilltop and towards the nature trails. 

There's enough space for tents, hammocks, or even bigger canopies.

The hilltop bonfire area is supreme views. Great for bonfires and watching sunsets and lightning bugs.
