Market Garden

🌱 After more than a century of soybeans and corn, 2025 marked the beginning of a brand-new adventure — and the start of fresh, diverse crops for our farm. Judy’s Find Trails Market Garden celebrated a successful first year growing vibrant vegetables from organic seeds, completely free of pesticides and herbicides.

We’re just getting started, and with each new season our variety will expand and our garden will grow even more abundant. We’d love for you to grow with us as we continue building something beautiful, nourishing, and better every year. 🌿

Camping/ Glamping

In the future, we’ll be offering exclusive campsites and cozy tiny home–style glamp sites across 70 acres of open meadows and 41 acres of lush woods. Secluded, peaceful, and designed for rest—your perfect getaway will be waiting.

Trail Building

We’re building a scenic trail system that winds through all 111 acres of our farm—inviting you to hike, bike, and explore at your own pace. From peaceful meadows to shaded woodlands, every trail will offer a chance to immerse yourself in nature, recharge, and discover the beauty of the land.
