Pfanny's Farm

“Ruth is British so the name of this place gave caution to the encounter at first. Traditionally, in England, a ladies privates are not an invitation to discussion. We chose to reside here for the night in addition to the farm tour and the pleasantries of the farm store. Our evening, after dinner down at Jerry’s Hilltop Cafe, was enjoyed with out hosts at the glass wine bottle grain bin. The evening was also the last of the Persieds Meteor shower so we reclined looking upwards over a beverage of choice and talked until nearly midnight with our hosts about the farm and the development of the place. We enjoyed our tour off the greenhouses, the fields of tomato, corn, squash, and harvesting a wide variety of herbs in the large geothermal grow house used through the bitter Nebraska winter. Now for those of you unable to store and process fresh herbs from the farm, it is possible to select the wide variety of them already dried and packaged for use in the farm store. Knowing we would be using the herbs very quickly Ruth choose to take a few cuttings back to prepare meals ion the immediate future. Both of the owners are delightful. Gene will be happy to give you insight on how to construct your very own wine bottle grain bin of you have time to take notes. the accommodations here are choice hideaway venue. The old grey farm dog will love you for a kind pat on the back and you will be befriended for life. The chickens here are escorted about by a very loud goose. If you are new to homesteading or farming, this is a good place to schedule a tour. Looking to escape city life for the weekend, again, a good choice of value too.”

“Wow! What an incredible property managed by an incredible couple. Julie and Gene were so kind and welcoming; we felt like family. The work they do to maintain their organic gardens is unwavering and the results are apparent in the fruits and vegetables they produce. Not only are they growing citrus in Nebraska, they are growing the fruit bigger than I’d ever seen it before. Taking Julie’s tour was truly a gift. We touched and tasted and learned so much. I can’t recommend the tour enough and am so grateful she and Gene share their knowledge and experiences so freely. If you can’t stay at the Farm, at least drop in for a visit to buy some fresh produce, spices, salves, and more. And… take the tour!”

“My aunt and I had the pleasure of staying at Fanny’s farm…and meeting Julie. We were on a little road trip to visit many friends and family around Nebraska and Missouri. What a gem we found! This experience made our trip so much more by way of staying in a lovely homestead, on an amazing sustainable farm that included opportunities to enjoy nature. I highly recommend this rare and simple sanctuary for an intentional getaway or if traveling through. Ofc Mr. Beau (dog;) brought even more joy watching him tromp around the expansive property. We even partook in Julie’s crop one morning with THE FRESHEST asparagus and sweetest lemon. Unbelievable goodness!”

“My sister in law and I used The Cottage for a two night Mom Retreat. It was seriously perfect and fit our needs perfectly. It’s located in a tucked away corner of the farm so you have privacy and are able to enjoy the wildlife that are playing around (bunnies, all types of birds, & of course the cheeky but hilarious squirrels). The beds are extra comfy and the interior of the cottage is so calming. I can’t express enough how much we enjoyed it. I will definitely be coming back!”

“Pfanny’s farm is a little slice of heaven in Northeast Nebraska. My husband and I came out to celebrate our anniversary, and to slow down from hustle and bustle, and this farm and cottage were perfect for that. Gene and Julie were the perfect hosts and made our stay so enjoyable! The farm tour was our favorite part, followed closely by the late night fire pit watching the stars! We can’t wait to come back and would highly suggest a stay here!”

“We love Pfanny’s Farm! My kids enjoy visiting the chickens, and I enjoy buying food and products that are organic and local. Gene and Julie are the icing on the cake. They are down-to-earth and authentically hospitable. In our busy culture, it’s nice to have a place to slow down and find community.”

“Pfanny's Farm isn't just a fantastic place to get homegrown produce and homemade products; it's also a fun farm experience for the whole family. Julie and Gene make everyone feel like part of the family to the point that you can even book a night to stay at their quaint Airbnb bungalow.”

“Julie and Gene were the perfect hosts. It was great to see all the many things they had going on the Farm. We learned a lot for our future greenhouse gardening. Such a beautiful place. We highly recommend it.”
