We Love Company!

Baker Creek’s farm and pioneer village is just a short drive from Mansfield, Mo., situated on an old homestead at the confluence of Baker Creek and the Gasconade River. While the seed store is a popular destination for visitors, there is much more to see at the farm and village. We are open year-round Monday through Friday. Hours vary by season; in summer months, the seed store and grounds are open 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. In the late fall, winter, and early spring, hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Hours change with Daylight Savings Time.)

Features of the Village and Farm Include:

Restaurant

The restaurant at Baker Creek offers a small but mighty plant-based (vegan) menu featuring a rotation of “locally sourced and globally inspired” dishes. As much as possible, the ingredients are harvested fresh from the greenhouses and gardens at Baker Creek or purchased from local growers or producers.

Regular restaurant hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Flour Mill / Bakery

Our bakery is open exclusively during festivals! Outside of those dates, the bakery remains closed. We look forward to serving you breads, sweets, and treats during festival celebrations!

Please note: The farm and village are open Monday – Friday (closed weekends).

Grounds and Gardens

The grounds and outdoor gardens in Mansfield, Missouri are open to visitors year-round and include heritage-breed poultry and animals. Guided tours for groups are also available. To schedule a guided group tour, email seeds@rareseeds.com, Attn: TOURS.
