Step into farm life and get away to Leelanau County, in beautiful northern Michigan. Ours is a working farm and a friendly “flerd” of animals are waiting to meet you and your family! Come along on our daily tours, where you may gather fresh eggs for your breakfast and help feed the hens. Then visit the piglets, calves and sheep by walking with us over the creek bridges and up into the green pastures. At BuckWild, we are pleased to offer you some of life’s simplest and sweetest pleasures. The space available to you is the entire lower level of our home (The kitchen is shared for seasonal canning from the garden.). The private entrance is a yellow door at the rear, and overlooks our own valley to the south. You can enjoy your morning coffee on the patio chairs and take in the view. Your simple rooms are cozy but not fancy. We welcome children and have playthings, games and books for them to enjoy. We also have a collection of fun board games for all ages. But outdoor fun is our specialty! There are wooded trails that wind through our 19 acres; 3 bridges over the creek; deer, water bugs, frogs, wildflowers, and swing set, plus a giant tree swing, and a zip-line for Littles. (Parents must accompany children please.) Lovely Lake Leelanau is nearby and visible from our road should you take a walk, however the public access is about 3.5 miles away by foot, bike or car. Our “flerd” is a mix between a flock and herd, including 2 one-year old steers 2 newborn calves to bottle feed 6 sheep and 6 newborn lambs in April 2024 5 piglets ( arrive in May) A dozen chickens Cat and a farm pup Wild Apple orchard, large vegetable and berry garden and fenced pasture. From March to October, you and your family can participate in egg-gathering, and feeding and caring for the animals and land.
