Sweet Springs Family Farm is a quaint little farm nestled in the heart of Cottage Grove’s countryside. They provide a variety of different lodging, tent camping, VW camper, sleeper in the woods and the extravagant Lavish country retreat B&B.

Their guests get the experience of what farm life is all about and allow them to participate in everyday farm life. They also offer farm parties, event venue, Outdoor Movies with the animals and sell their produce and eggs. They do plant and container rescue and have a sweet little gift shop on site filled with crafts, preserves, baked goods and memorabilia made by their family. A little something for guests to  take home with them.

With all the animals, nearby rivers and lakes, activities and trails to explore one will never want to leave. They strive to leave their guest’s feeling Inspired, Revived, relaxed and completely catered too. They decided to turn their Grand Opening/ Ribbon cutting into a free public event so that everyone would have the opportunity to experience all the fun!
