Lakeside Chalet w/ Private Deck, Wood Stove & Scenic Trails in Ohio Wine Country

In May of 2020, husband and wife team Mike and Chelsea discovered an opportunity to purchase a historic plot of land in the heart of Ohio’s Grand River Valley. Both born and raised in Lake County, they were familiar with the site, as Mike had visited it for many years during his childhood.

Mike, a natural builder and proprietor of a longstanding and successful service company, had a strong entrepreneurial spirit and vision, while Chelsea was the dreamer—she had always wanted a flower farm. The two set forth on a journey to create Standing Rock Farms. Their vision was to build a special place to enjoy with their daughter, where enduring memories could be made. They were also driven by a desire to build a lasting legacy, one that would not only reflect their deep-rooted passion for community engagement, but also would also serve as a beacon of happiness for many generations. They sought to showcase the beauty of nature and farm living, coupled with architecturally pleasing and modern facilities.

Today, Standing Rock Farms is the culmination of their original vision and dreams—a place where guests can share a love of nature, escape the everyday, and find enjoyment in the simpler things. This modern working farm cultivates and produces a variety of fresh, high-quality goods, including commercial flowers, honey, Highland calves, farm-fresh herbs, and organic produce while offering a breathtaking backdrop for life’s celebrations and a variety of experiences for creating lasting memories for all who walk through its gates. Mike and Chelsea admit that they aren’t done yet, and the farm is ever evolving, but their profound hope is that current and future generations will see the beauty they see in the experience and that it may spark an ember inside to burn for a lifetime.
