Summary
Less than 30 miles from Madison (all on bike trails), the Little Sugar River Farm is ideal for cyclists and hikers. Because we are surrounded on three sides by the Albany Wildlife Area, the farm is also great for birders and anyone who wants a chance to relax.
The Little Sugar River Farm is an evolving, small-scale farm where the food is grown without synthetic chemicals. During the growing season, you can pick vegetables, berries, flowers, and herbs from our gardens and greenhouses. You can collect eggs from the hen house and feed the free-range hens their favorite treats (apples from our orchard). At the farm's core is a set of garden fields where organic methods are rebuilding the soil for vegetable production. The small woodlot is being managed for firewood production and wildlife habitat, and a tiny pond provides crane habitat in the spring. We are doing our best to integrate our fields and forest into the larger, 2000 acre landscape of wildlife preserve that surrounds us on three sides. Guest have access to all this land.
The Little Sugar River Farm is ideal for couples who want to get away from the city and relax on a small farm surrounded by wildlife areas. Because we're close to two bike trails that run through wetlands and forests, biking, hiking, and birding are some of our guests' favorite activities. Guests are also welcome to pick and eat home-grown vegetables and berries from the gardens, collect eggs from the hens, and simply relax on the patio, watching the cranes and listening to the owls and whip-poor-wills. Winter stays offer the possibility of cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or simply relaxing by the wood stove with a good book.
