Achterberg Farm

Nestled in the heart of Lincoln County, Kansas, the Achterberg Wildlife-Friendly Demonstration Farm is a 240-acre haven where nature and agriculture thrive together. Meandering creeks weave through lush forests and diverse habitats, preserving landscapes once common on Kansas farms. The land is carefully managed by AOK, with native grass and wildflower filter strips enhancing every field’s edge and an eight-acre remnant prairie meadow providing vital pollinator habitat. Birdwatchers can spot barred owl, brown thrashers, wild turkeys, kingbirds, woodpeckers, and wrens among the farm’s many winged residents. For those looking to explore a 1-mile hiking trail following the scenic Bullfoot Creek and offering a peaceful retreat into Kansas’ rich natural heritage. The hiking trail is open to visitors 365 days a year from dawn to dusk.
