Next to Nature Farm

Next to Nature Farm is located in northeast Kansas, in between Lawrence and Kansas City. We are a small family farm committed to offering all of our products in their most natural form. Next to Nature Farm strives to ensure a line of the highest quality products with an environmentally friendly focus. The farm is owned by Chad and Megan Gilliland. However, this farm operation is a family adventure and everyone pitches in including 10-year-old son (known as the Itty Bitty Beekeeper)! At the agricultural and educational center, we will offer various classes and learning opportunities to find out more about bees, canning/preserving foods, pollinators, and small-scale agriculture. We will have a variety of products for sale, depending on the season. We are also home to \"Kansas\' only honey tasting bar\" where you can try our delicious local honey, over a dozen varieties of infused and creamed honeys, and exotic flavors of honey from other regions.

Before you drive out.

Farms that host visitors run on the crop and the weather. Ripe dates move by a week or two from year to year, and many farms post what is open that morning. Check before you go, bring cash for the stand, and ask whether coolers, pets and strollers are welcome.

Worth asking before you go:

• What is ripe this week, and is picking open today?
• Is there an entry fee or a minimum purchase?
• Are the fields and paths easy with a stroller or a wheelchair?
