Gathering at Green Hill Farm

Harvest Hosts is a unique RV membership program with a large network of available hosts. So far, 5,900 locations have opened their hearts and their homes and/or businesses to members of the Harvest Hosts RVing community. Through this program, members receive overnight accommodations with no camping fees in peaceful and serene places across North America. In return, members are asked to make a purchase to patronize the small business that hosts them. Of these Hosts, Green Hill Farm is particularly special. Here, you can learn all about the farm’s history, its operations today, its origins within the Harvest Hosts community, and what future visitors can expect to experience.

The History

In 2000, Tom and Judy Knox began forming thoughts of retirement. Soon after, the concept for Green Hill Farm was born. They purchased a beautiful farm in Glenwood City Wisconsin, just about an hour east of the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and began farming the land. There, they have spent their retirement years farming the land, and the rest is history!

The Business Today

About twenty years later, Tom and Judy continue to grow fresh produce each year for personal use and for the use of their local community. Each year, they are open daily from mid-June until early July for both U-pick and we-pick strawberries. Each year, once the strawberry season is complete, they continue to grow fresh fruits and vegetables for the rest of the growing season. They mostly operate as a working farm, but these fresh products are occasionally available for purchase. Selections often include corn, asparagus, green beans, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, squash, beets, carrots, and more. When asked about her favorite part of running her business, Judy replied, saying, “Living on a farm provides the perfect place to raise a family. I love watching the crops grow and harvesting them. It is all so satisfying in so many ways.”
