Welcome to Valley Springs Farm: A Tranquil Countryside Retreat

Embracing the Rhythm of Rural Life

Nestled in the Heart of Wisconsin's Serene Countryside

Valley Springs Farm, a 255-acre oasis, beckons visitors to experience the tranquility and charm of rural life. Owned by the Harms family for over 140 years, this picturesque property boasts a diverse landscape - from pristine woodlands and lush pastures to serene wetlands and gentle rolling cropland.

Grass-Fed Beef and Regenerative Agriculture

At the heart of Valley Springs Farm lies a thriving grass-fed beef operation. The Harms family has transformed their crop rotation system to a 100% grass-based regenerative approach, prioritizing soil health, biodiversity, and natural processes. Their Red Angus cattle graze freely, harvesting and fertilizing the fields as they move from paddock to paddock. This sustainable farming practice produces healthier, more resilient crops while restoring ecosystem balance.

Charming Farm Stay Accommodations

Whether you're seeking a cozy room or a unique farm experience, Valley Springs Farm offers the perfect retreat for families, couples, and solo travelers. Enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the countryside, with easy access to a variety of recreational, cultural, and culinary activities.

Innkeepers Don and Dorothy: Lifelong Farmers, Passionate Hosts

Innkeepers Don and Dorothy Harms welcome guests with warm Midwestern hospitality. As lifelong Wisconsin dairy farmers, they now operate their working grass-fed beef farm with a deep reverence for the land and its abundant wildlife. From the return of the sandhill cranes in spring to the frolicking of newborn Red Angus calves, the Harms invite you to experience the sights and sounds of country life.

Explore the Wonders of the Farm

Curious about a farmer's life? "Farmer Don" is eager to share his wealth of farming experience.

Unwind in Nature's Embrace

Immerse yourself in the serenity of the great outdoors. Explore the 2/3-mile hiking trail winding through the woods and fields, or choose to relax by the campfire under the stars.
