Pasture Prime is located in  Coles County, Illinois. The creek that meanders through our property is referred to as either Whetstone or Rattle Snake Creek. Wildlife is abundant - everything from foxes, mink, and coyotes to hawks, woodpeckers, and owls. We have an enclosed pasture  for the horses and livestock. Some areas are tillable - we have a newly established alfalfa field and we also harvest hay for animal feed. The rest of the landscape consists of rolling hills and wooded areas. In addition to our house, we have several outbuildings - a horse barn, chicken coop, a barn for hay storage, and our newly built outdoor bathroom/shower structure. To take a scenic virtual tour of the farm, scroll over the yellow markers on the overhead map.       We are fortunate to have a lot of bright and sunny days.  Sometimes the weather takes a turn though - rain, hail, and high winds have all led to some eventful times. Heron Hill These sculptures were created by Lorelei and artist/blacksmith Holly Fisher Old farrier files were heated and and formed to create the feathers.              This old barn was rehabbed into a multi-function building. One half of it is enclosed - it houses our chicken friends at night and we have a storage area for lawn and garden tools. The other half of the barn was completely rotted and instead of attempting to completely rebuild it, we fashioned the roof to serve as an overhang.  We use this area to cut wood and the chickens like to hang out there during the daytime.         Scroll over these images to compare before and after photographs. We enjoy hosting friends and family here at the farm.  There's plenty of room, just not bedrooms for everyone to spend the night indoors. To address this need, we created an awesome camping area, nestled in a wooded area just west of Trouser Snake Lake.          The Double Deuce Outhouse is wired with a solar panel - it has interior and exterior lighting.
