Florals for special events, including weddings and funeral arrangements, available upon request--we can accommodate any budget! Thank you!
The farm sits on a bluff overlooking Emiquon Nature Preserve and the bottom of the Spoon River Valley, an area rich in history and natural beauty. Our glamping accommodations include a round bell tent with a bed, a solar panel to plug in your phones, solar fan, grill, hammock and flush toilets. Come stay!
OUR STORY
Black Sheep Farm is a working flower farm perched on the bluffs of the Illinois River. Beyond growing high quality, chemical-free cut flowers, we provide glamping accommodations for people who enjoy being immersed in nature. Surrounded by flower fields, with a beautiful view of restored prairies and wetlands, our guests are welcome to explore the natural beauty and rich history of the Spoon River Valley.
Ben has been landscaping, gardening, and growing organic vegetables and cut flowers in various parts of the country for over 15 years. In the winter, he works as a Freelance Florist in New Orleans and beyond, specializing in high-end weddings. His passion for nature has caused him to feel right at home on these beautiful bluffs.
As a New Orleans cabaret owner for 10 years, Dennis Monn built a unique, magical space from the ground up. The club became an institution for showcasing live performance in a city known for entertainment. A native of Lewistown, he is now using these skills to turn our flower farm into a unique tourist destination.
