80-acre Heartland Farm will welcome you, nurture you, and introduce you to the peace and abundance of country life. Visitors are welcome to explore the straw bale buildings, the acoustically perfect silo, and learn about the large organic garden and sustainable farming practices. Our farm homestead operated by the Dominican Sisters of Peace located in Central Kansas in rural Rush Co. 13 miles west of Great Bend. Here visitors can come for a day visit and meet the alpacas and our flock of laying hens, view the gardens, enjoy the trails and experience the turf labyrinth and stop in our Gift Shop for handcrafted items. We ask that you call ahead to assure we are available that day. We also accommodate overnight visitors in our cozy Guest House which can serve up to 9 with some shared rooms.
