Our village

Visit Our Mansfield, Missouri
Seed Headquarters!

Come and enjoy the beautiful Ozark hills and our seed farm and pio­neer village. Shop for seeds, see our trial gardens, learn about seed growing, and enjoy our animals and authentic pioneer village. 

In the rolling hills of the Missouri Ozarks stands a legacy to the passing of time. The Homestead Act in the mid-1800s encouraged the Rippee family to move west and settle what is reputed to be the longest-lasting homestead in Missouri. The family raised many varieties of produce, birds, and animals, and were quite skilled in the crafts of the region. They traded with the Osage Indians and cared for soldiers during the Civil War in their hand-hewn log cabin.

Bakersville is situated on the original Rippee farm. The Baker Creek Seed Store now stands where the family’s market garden once was. In 2007, we saw the beginning of our historic town. Besides the Baker Creek Seed Store, we also have a farm-to-table vegan restaurant, speaker barn, an old-time mercantile, herbal apothecary, a natural bakery, blacksmith shop, two music barns, a Western jail, a native rock oven, a windmill, our seed warehouses, and many breeds of historic poultry and livestock.


Visitors are often surprised when there’s no charge to visit our farm.
(Festivals do require parking tickets to measure capacity)
