Good news! Open fire ban lifted, camp fires are ok now! The Flying J Farm is 250 beautiful rolling acres including 100 acres of forest, 6-acre lake small pond, three streams, and numerous fields for crops and pastures with cows. The owner bought the farm in 1998 for his retirement from a faculty position at the Ohio State university. Two buildings, the farm house and old barn, are original dating back to 1831. These have been restored for current use. The mission of the farm is to restore health both in people though the products produced and in the land by farming in a sustainable way with no conventional chemicals, antibiotics, and use of GMO. We host many visitors including tours and events. An on farm market is available to visitors for purchase of our products including grass-fed beef, maple syrup, and fruits and vegetables. The cabin was built using wood from the farm. It has off-grid electricity meaning it is powered by batteries charged by solar panels. There is not sufficient power for devices with a heating element such as coffee makers and hair dryers. You may charge cell phones. For any other use, please check with the owner. Wild Life. There is an abundance of wildlife to be observed on the farm. Deer can be seen at dusk, raccoons can be seen going through your camp food at night (if you put it in your car), turkeys, hawks, vultures, rabbits, coyotes (heard screaming at night), frogs (especially heard at night), fish (jumping), and many song birds (my favorite, the bobolink, May and June only, nesting in the pastures).

My stay at flying J Farms on site 3 was perfect. The secluded campsite made me feel like I was a million miles away from everything. I especially loved how well kept and spacious everything was. I'd definitely stay here again.

Great Stay
The stay was enjoyable for the easy access to the pond, quiet scenery, and the good sized fire pit.

This site was super nice and easy to get to by car to unload. This site is further away from the other tent sites and already has a picnic table and fire pit handy. It is in the wooded area which made it feel more peaceful and made it easy to find wood for the fire. Our dog loved being able to run around and hike with us. It is super easy to get lost though, so always make sure you stay within site of the path. With it being fall, the leaves made it difficult to find the path but was absolutely stunning.

The farm was awesome. Richard, the host, has a gorgeous setup. We were given a tour of one of the gardens as well as some history on the farm. We had a blast and will be returning later this year.
