Evermore Farms
After spending over two decades farming over 200 acres tucked in the hills of Lindley, John and Anne Burns began opening up their farm to others as a way of sharing the beauty of the land and their connection to nature. This working farm is a true family endeavor as John, Anne and their children handle day-to-day operations raising Grass-Fed Beef and Sheep following their philosophy of “Farming in Nature’s Image.”
One weekend every month from May through September (plus Columbus Day Weekend), the family invites others to spend time on the farm learning about everything from lambing and shearing to Earth Regeneration, from the benefits of creating a Sylvopasture to Barnyard Olympics (a family tradition).
Please Note: The farm is not open every day for visits, so please check the schedule of events (which include activities like hay rides and a petting zoo, as well as educational opportunities and a chance to take in the peacefulness of country life) to see when they are open to the public.

Climb out and follow their lead for the hunt or sit in the shade of the wagon. Ask questions or just listen to experience this multi-layered environment and approach to farming. What is a “sylvopasture?” Why create one? Learn the many benefits to animals and ecosystem from Farmer John. Wagon ride for hunts and question and answer departs @ 2:30, 4:00, and 5:30.
