Our farm-woods campground has chickens and an African bird (the size
of a chicken) called Guinea Fowl.
Both the chickens and Guinea Fowl wander
throughout our farm fields and camping area of the farm "free
range".
These interesting African birds run away from
people but eat many types of bugs that campers try to avoid
elsewhere, especially ticks, grasshoppers, fleas, ants,
crickets, and stink bugs. |
This beautiful, shaded,
green FREE camping area is reserved for youth groups, our family, and friends
. Call us for directions and a reservation. |
