Welcome to Wild Rose Meadows – our little hobby farm that got out of hand. Wild Rose Meadows is now 180 acres into which we pour our hearts, our time and all of our money. It’s a little slice of heaven a mile long and a quarter mile wide.

Our house and barn are located on the north road, while our other barn is located on the south road a mile away. A beautiful trail winds across the fields and through the woods from one barn to the other.

Visitors tell us we live way out in the sticks. They get off the expressway onto a two lane paved road, turn then onto a gravel road, and then turn again onto yet another gravel road. We are surrounded by hundreds of acres of corn and soybean fields.

When we take the back way into town, we are only 12 minutes from Meijer, Wal-Mart and Home Depot. We get to the store faster than most of our friends in town. It’s our best kept secret. We don’t want everyone else to move out here!

Wild Rose Meadows is located in Southwest Michigan, 3 miles off US-131 Expressway, about 20 miles north of Kalamazoo, 25 miles south of Grand Rapids, and 25 miles southeast of Holland. The farm encompasses four different areas of woods, two creeks, and a dozen hay fields, including the “hidden field” that only our grandchildren know about and the “enchanted forest” where there is a tunnel of trees through which we take the grandchildren on hay rides.

We are blessed to have been entrusted with this jewel of nature, and welcome the opportunity to share it with as others who seem to enjoy it as much as we do.
