Nestled in Manistee National Forest is a family farm. Trailheads lead to hundreds of miles of public two-track, and the woods roll between oak/maple/beech and aspen/birch. On the farm is a 20 acre lake with a floating island, tent sites, and healthy ecosystems with plenty of wildlife. Our farm pastures pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry, investing in our dirt and our neighbors. We are provision family farms because we provide for our animals even as we are provided for. Drop on in at the house and we may have time for a little tour. In the woods is a small composting toilet, but you're welcome to fertilize our pastures anytime. There's also a shower available in the house. The best time to visit Michigan forests is in October when the leaves turn color and the nights are cool. The mosquitoes are done for the winter and the air is brisk.

My Misunderstanding
The lead photo for the site led me to believe it was out in the open which I wanted in order see as much much of the night sky as possible. It turns out that the picture was from a different location on the farm. I failed to understand that the term "Silvopasture" refers the process of converting woodland into pasture. The term is accurate and the site is a clearing in the woods with a limited view of the sky. I was also unprepared for the ever present smell of manure that accompanies a recently used pasture. I appreciated that they allowed my dog to be off leash however, she frequently saw or heard livestock in the adjacent pastures and I was unable to get her to stop barking. The hosts provided a map that was helpful for exploring the area. If a "Sky View" site located out in the open was made available I would gladly return.

Luke's campsite was absolutely beautiful! If you want quiet and secluded this place was perfect. We saw maybe 4 people drive by throughout labor day weekend. My kids loved exploring the woods and catching all types of frogs. We purchased some meat and eggs from him and it was delicious! And when a tree had fallen across the two tracks right to the site Luke was there in about 10 minutes with a chainsaw to get it out of the way. We even saw a pair of eagles flying over the lake and the pigs during our stay. My kids can't wait to go back!

We loved camping here and meeting the animals. The campsite had everything we needed including firewood. Already planning our trip back for the fall! Pastures were gorgeous!

Such a great little spot. We spent 9 nights by the pond and had a great restful time. The dogs absolutely loved running around the woods and in the pond. There was enough room for our two vehicles with attached SUV tents. Plenty of wood was supplied. We even enjoyed some delicious eggs, bacon (the best I've had!!), sausage and steaks from the farm. It's off an ATV trail so you see some people passing the laneway occasionally but for the most part we were totally alone to enjoy the solitude and the songs of the bullfrogs. I definitely recommend this space for some time away.

Wonderful little farm with wonderfully private spot! Beautiful along the pond, fell asleep to the sound of bullfrogs and woke up to the sounds of birds and ducks :) Luke and his family were so kind and helpful, cannot reccomend enough. Will definitely not be our last time here

Luke gave us a tour of the campsite upon our arrival and told us some of the history of the land. We could see the stars well from our campsite. The only other campsite we could hear was across the lake because they had a generator. Overall pretty good experience, the bugs were pretty active.
