Bringing more people?
One gathering.
Different ways to stay.
There are great lodging and attraction options for all kinds of big groups: extended families, church retreats, college and school groups, corporate getaways, and wedding parties. Stay together or spread out across places that fit each person’s budget and style, then meet up for shared adventures.
For a wedding at The Barn, the bride might choose a cabin at The Wildflower, while the groom or other guests choose affordable on-farm apartments at Hungry World Farm. Others might prefer Tiskilwa Inn or camping at Condit’s Ranch. Your group can share the celebration without all booking the same kind of stay.
Build in a garden visit, a meal in town, a canal walk, or a prearranged farm experience. Book lodging and group activities separately, and plan how everyone will travel between them.

The things you’ll talk about afterward
Follow their curiosity.
Find your own, too.
Meet the farm together.
Make room for questions and discoveries on a guided farm visit. Choose an experience available for your dates and your children’s ages.
Take the slower path.
Notice the little things together. Leave an afternoon open for outdoor time and discoveries along the way.

Campfire conversations. Looking for constellations. Time with the people you came for. Check whether your accommodation offers a campfire setup; weather shapes the evening.
A few details.
A much easier getaway.
- Choose beds for your actual party. Maximum occupancy can include couches, extra mattresses, or camping. Start with the listed sleeping arrangements.
- Know your bathroom setup. Apartments have their own bathrooms; tent stays use shared facilities. Walking distance and electricity vary by tent.
- Pack for your chosen stay. Bring outdoor shoes and layers. Check the listing for kitchen facilities and bedding; Sunrise requires your own bedding.
- Plan one farm experience ahead. Arrange the available animal or garden visit that fits your children. New workshops are still in development.
- Keep weather plans simple. Campfires depend on conditions, and stars need clear skies. Bookshops and cafés make useful rainy-day alternatives.
