There is s a nice row of coniferous trees on the west side of the yard that the early arrivers snatch up right away. A few people have brought hammocks to hang in this prime section of trees too. But never fear, there’s acres of property to choose from to strike your stakes into if the shade is taken by the time you arrive. If you crave seclusion for your site, you can find that too. If you need access to electricity or somewhere to park your RV, please email us through our contact form as there may be an extra camping charge for that.

You are definitely roughing it at the Ludeking farm. The century-old farm house & its plumbing are off limits to guests. The event has grown so much since 2004 that we simply cannot make any exceptions for those wanting modern conveniences. Minimally, there are three portable restrooms placed throughout the main areas of the event, each with a hand washing station for guests to use. If you need to bathe while at the Farm, we haven’t historically had this amenity. We are, however, looking at adding a portable outdoor shower this year. No guarantees at this point, but in the past some have enjoyed a trip into town with their earth-friendly soaps for a dip in the Upper Iowa River or Dunnings Spring.

Not only do we get to inspire each other artistically, help one another make patterns & molds, and break iron together at Down on the Farm, we also get to cook and eat together. We do our best to offer a variety of foods & meals to satisfy the diverse guests we are honored to host at the Farm. We have a breakfast, lunch & evening meal option for each day of your stay if you want to participate. We always welcome desserts or snacks to share brought by our guests or donations of foods that may fit our menu. If you have special dietary needs, please state this in the notes section of your registration or email us through our contact form.
