Hey, come out
to the country.

I’m Sam. These are the places, people, and little detours I love around Princeton and Tiskilwa, Illinois.

Find your weekend

Fresh air. Good food.
Your favorite people.

Visitors and sheep in the pasture at Hungry World Farm — A little room to roam.

A yurt-glamping tent tucked into the trees at Hungry World Farm — Stay for the stars.

Pizza baking in the wood-fired oven at Sticks and Bricks — Yes, stop for pizza on the way!

A few local favorites

A few places I’d send a friend

Visitors walking with sheep at Hungry World Farm

Meet the farm.

A guided farm visit, a garden wander, or a new trail. Make room for a few little discoveries.

Find your adventure

Sticks and Bricks.

Order ahead from Sticks and Bricks, pick up your pizza, and ease into the evening wherever you’re staying.

Plan a pizza stop

Only two miles from the farm!

An evening outdoors.
