Description

Come and let your dog explore, play, and swim on our beautiful family farm. Our farm means the world to us and we think you will love it just as much. Our farm lies on 40 acres in Bull Valley, Illinois. Although it is not fenced in, our property is doggy heaven for dogs trained to be off-leash. Come take a walk, bring a frisbee/ball, or just come let your dog sniff and explore. We have many farm animals on our property as well. Please be respectful of our property. We take pride in our farm and love sharing it, but we want to keep it beautiful. Entry in any of the barns/buildings is prohibited. Please remain in the back of our property. We do live on the property and appreciate our privacy.

    As always, we love it here. The Rus really love romping off leash, chasing bugs, & eating grass.

  • Stephanie C., Aug 27, 2023

    So much space for exploring. Had a great time walking the trails and rested in a shady grass area near where we parked. Ended the perfect day meeting some goats and chickens.

    Great morning walk! The Rus were happy!

    We had a wonderful time visiting this beautiful property! We enjoyed walking on the trails without having to worry about our dog running into another dog or big trucks to get her riled up! Trails were easy to follow, but this was a large property so we didn’t explore the entire place. We’ll be looking forward to our next visit to continue seeing more. This was also close to home and I was pleasantly surprised that this is the property that has a gorgeous reindeer light display at holidays. Thanks for sharing your property with the community!

    We loved it this time again! We ran into some deer but I wasn’t too worried as both my dogs recalls are pretty good. I make sure to spray myself and my dogs with wondercide to help deter bugs.

    What a wonderful spot! My dog loved running around, sniffing all the things by the creek and goats and sheep, and was able to just be a dog without worry for an hour and a half today! Everything was very well marked and the trails were well kept. No problems and we will definitely be back!
