SELF-GUIDED NATURE TRAILS

If you’re looking for a quiet peaceful place to visit, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, we at L&A Family Farms want to send an open invitation to all to visit our working farm. If you’re just planning to walk our nature trails, there is no charge! Enjoy a walk through the woods and take in the surroundings.

Our nature trails wander through our woods and native grasses. Various birds, bugs, butterflies, and flowers can be observed along the trail. Our trails are somewhat rugged, as they go up and down our hills and hollers.

Our ag trails take you around the ag production of the farm. Depending on the season, you may see our laying hens, broiler meat chickens, turkeys, pigs, gardens, various crop fields, etc. If our equipment is out of the shed, feel free to look at it, but please stay out of our farm buildings and do not get on or climb on our equipment.

Please visit our farm during our normal business hours or call ahead to schedule a specific time for your visit. As much as we would like to be able to visit with each guest, this is not practical since we are very busy working on this much diversified operation. With this said, we encourage you to ask us specific questions on how various things work. We want to put a face on your food, and we want you to know how it was raised. Asking questions is a great way to learn!
