Freedom Farm

About this space
Welcome to Amish Country. Enjoy the picturesque countryside in the comfort of a converted Amish home and working farm, just outside of Middlebury, home of the famous Essenhaus Restaurant and Bakery and few short miles from Shipshewana.
Rest and refuge are awaiting you after a fun filled day in the countryside.
The space
My hope when you visit Freedom Farm is that you find this home peaceful and reminiscent of a simpler time.
Enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch as you watch the buggies go by.
Bring the whole family and spend time baking and laughing in the large farmhouse kitchen.
While you're here consider a drive to Shipshewana to visit the shops or take in a show.
Coming this spring you will find calves, baby chicks and a vegetable garden to enjoy. Welcome!
Guest access
Freedom Farm includes a convenient parking area right outside the fence in the front of the property.
The entire fenced area is for you to enjoy. However pets (dogs only) and small children should be supervised as the porch area is not secure. Maximum of 3 dogs.
The front door access is equipped with a coded entry system. The code will be sent to you on your day of arrival.
There is an outbuilding that houses yard games such as cornhole, gunny sacks, bochi ball for your pleasure.
A firepit for a sunset weenie roast or smores awaits just outside the fence line in back.
You are welcome to visit the calves and chicks coming this spring or pick a few veggies from the garden for your meals.
Adults must supervise children at the barns for their safety.

The basement property and separate driveway is reserved for the owners family.
Other things to note
Freedom Farm was an Amish home for many years. In order to make it comfortable for the "English" electricity, air/heat and wifi have been added. The kitchen configuration did not allow for a dishwasher so a large farmhouse sink was added to make dishwashing quick and easy.
This beautiful home proved to have its challenges to bring it into the 21st century and it does have a few charming quirks but I believe you will find your stay at Freedom Farm relaxing and equipped with everything you need. ~ Michele
