I am one of the owners of "My Grandpa's Farm" which is located at 3925 South Highway 94 which is two miles south of Defiance directly off of highway 94. The Katy Trail is our Eastern border.The farm was originally owned by the Daniel Boone Family beginning around 1800. The Boone family stayed there until circa 1910.
We still have the original barns, a 500 year old catalpa tree, and heirloom plants and animals from Boone's time. There is a restaurant on the property and commercial craft and produce stands. Our season starts the end of March and we would love to have everybody come and visit. We give free lemonade to all who come and visit the farm. Individuals, families, and groups are all welcome. My phone number is (314) 369-9179.

Your farm sounds like a place I need to visit! I might be coming through late in the day on May 20th, that is, if you all provide lodging. Otherwise, I can stop by early on the 21st.

Sounds interesting.. We are planning a ride in June for 5 days... only going 20 -40 miles a day so we may stop at places like this. Do you have a web site?

CaroleH of Kirkwood: We are also planning a similar trip in early June. Do you have kids going, too?( reason for the low mileage) Are you going East to West? Just interested in getting tips for our trip. We have been on the Katy about 20 miles four years ago and want to do the whole trip.

I'm replying for Carol from Kirkwood, whom I recognize as my sister...
No, we're not bringing kids.
We could say we're doing low mileage b/c it's the first time some of us will be doing a multi-day tour and b/c we want to have plenty of time to sightsee along the way, stop early and enjoy the afternoons. Or we could say it's b/c we're middle-aged, sedentary, and out of shape. ;-)
