Yes, we welcome and encourage visits. We are located just east of Rush City. Each year we add more events and activities as our membership grows. We also work with various youth and community groups for them to do fundraising activities on the farm. Other Questions answered below: When can we visit, or help out, at Treasured Haven Farm? I am coming to work in the gardens, what do I bring? How many, and what kind of, trails do you have? Can I come ride my horse on the farm? Do you have a "Petting Zoo"? |
We appreciate notice when you would like to come visit or work so we can plan accordingly, at least a day or two or more notice would be appreciated for short with farm equipment and machines. We know some members love to come and work every week and help to pack away from volunteering or working. We encourage everyone to make it out to the community effort and all are welcome to participate, we do not require working as a part of our program, but encourage members to do what they can so we can keep our costs down and our shares affordable for all. We will provide vegetables, as available, for area foodshelves in exchange for volunteers coming to work in weeding, harvesting, or packing, and then transporting the produce share to their selected location. We work with youth and community groups to provide fundraising projects here on the farm. Please, call ahead to arrange. For more information on fundraising Click Here. |
I am coming to work in the gardens, what do I bring? Remember to bring whatever you need for the weather conditions such as your sunscreen, any insect repellent (Lavender Essential Oil on pulse points works well too), a shade visor or hat, jacket or long sleeves, you may want long pants, solid boots or shoes, gloves, your own water bottle (alcoholic beverages and smoking are not allowed), a bunch of enthusiasm, and a great attitude! Your children are welcome, but you are responsible for their supervision. You may want to come with a friend and take turns watching them in our play area or children's garden. |
Can I ride my horse on the farm? We set aside certain days and weekends when the trails in the woods and along the fields are available for our Members with horses. You assume responsibility for controlling and caring for your horse at all times. Water hydrants are available for your use. We currently do not have any stable facilities but you are welcome to stay overnight with your horse and trailer, if you wish. We ask that you respect others who may walk the trails that you clean up any "fertilizer" left by your animals. We are continually developing new trails around the farm and welcome your input. Some trails are for foot traffic only because of the terrain, so please pay attention to those signs. |
For years we have worked at creating hiking, walking, cross country skiing, and maintenance trails throughout our wooded areas and along our fields. We have many miles of trails which head out in many loops depending on how long you wish to walk. The woodland trails are cleared bases with a natural woodland surface of leaf mulch. The field and prairie tails are long cut grass. We have a very nice wooded area in the back of our farm that borders Rock Creek that is an exceptionally nice walk. There is much wildlife in the area and makes a great nature walk to look for evidence of animals. Property boundaries are marked and we ask that you respect them and not venture beyond into our neighbors lands. Any trespassing will result in your forfeiture of the opportunity for use the trails. These trails are a continual work in progress. |
