We rest on 50 acres north of Lake Pontchartrain. We’re bounded by the Big Branch Wildlife Reserve to the south and a Bed rails to Trails bike course on the north. We are 3 miles from LaCombe to the east, Mandeville to the west, and about 1 mile from Fountainbleu State Park. The majority of the farm, 80%, is combined hardwood forest and designated wetlands. Desert Bayou and East Branch Bayou meander across the residential or commercial property which is home to deer, foxes, bobcats, owls, fireflies, otters, raccoons, turtles, and, well, about anything common to the wilds of the Gulf South. This includes a list of snakes, mosquitoes, and deer flies in their season. About 5 acres are used to raise poultry, bees and organically farmed blueberries. In general, the land feels primitive and pristine. We are a designated Queen Waystation and in the spring and fall see many migrating butterflies. We cultivate a great deal of flowers so nearly all year you can see butterflies in profusion. We become part of the USDAs Conservation Stewardship Program, concentrating on securing and increasing environment for animals and pollinators. Dogs are welcome. However the chickens frequently run complimentary and chasing them, or the deer, ducks, sheep, etc, is not acceptable so keeping your four-legged family on a leash when near the farm animals is motivated. Campfires are enabled other than on uncommon celebrations, and fires assist keep the mosquitoes at bay. You can hunt for deadfalls in the woods on the farm, or we can offer firewood for a little fee. This is a rustic circumstance: believe dry outdoor camping, outdoor (heated) shower, and port-o-lets. We have hookups for one small RV or camper near the barn. In addition, we have a 10×10′ treehouse, and a number of places to pitch a camping tent. The farm is pretty protected– somebody is on-site the majority of the time, it’s gated, and there are security cams at gain access to points. But it is a farm in a rural community– you might hear roosters crow, sheep bleat, dogs bark, and the mule bray along with the noises of owls, hawks, coyotes, and other native wildlife of the area. If this seems like it matches you then begin!, remain and enjoy the farm life.
