Hemingway Hill
Sometimes getting out in nature is all you need to do to get away from it all. Hemingway Hill will greet you with peace and calm, that will cause you to return, through every season, to this special tranquil place.
The Farm
Hemingway Hill is a privately owned, beautiful, regenerative farm that is located in Terrell, Texas and just a short drive from Forney, Kaufman, and the greater Dallas area. Each year, our farm opens its gates to the public, during three distinct seasons - Tulipville for you to roam our fields to pick tulips from Holland, U-pick flowers and sunflower experience, and our old fashioned Christmas tree farm experience with s'mores around the fire pit. While you are here, you can take home with you some of our fresh, warm apple cider donuts, a jar of signature honey from our hives, and packs of pretty flower seeds.
Our 3 Seasons
1. Spring U-Pick Tulips at Our Tulipville!
Our spring Tulipville begins the last weekend in February when we host our U-pick Tulips event from our fields of regeneratively grown tulips. In the tulip tent, you can order a wide variety of some of our top commercial-grade bulbs. On the weekends, we will have some fun farm games for your kids and offer tasty snacks and coffee from the Hemingway House for you to enjoy.
2. U-Pick Flowers and Sunflower Field Experience
Our Summer Bouquets season invites you to craft your unique bouquet at our U-Pick Cut Flower and Sunflower fields. Opening for U Pick on Mother's Day weekend 2025, through July 4th. Enjoy handmade Apple cider donuts on Saturdays, with more food offerings to be added in the coming seasons.
Opens May 9, 2025! Hours will be Fridays (8:30am - 2pm) and Saturdays (8:30am - 5pm) until July 4th (extended hours).
3. Christmas Tree Sale
Hemingway Hill’s most popular season is our Christmas Tree Sale. We open Friday Nov, 29 this year for customers to purchase their fresh-cut Christmas trees, while our baby trees grow and offer hand-tied wreaths and garlands. We also offer pictures with Santa, wreath-making classes, s’mores and kids hay rides.
If you need a tree prior to our public opening on Friday Nov 29, we will have Christmas trees available starting Sunday Nov 24 at noon by appointment only. Call us!
Did you know listening to songbirds or the rustle of the leaves in trees will make you 30 percent more relaxed?
We have plenty of both of these to share at Hemingway Hill. Science has proven that you spending just two hours in nature has a dramatic and positive effect both physically and mentally. (Please though, leave your drones and dogs at home. We love them both, but keep them at home. We love our hawks and owls and want your puppies safe.)
Do you ever dream of learning how to farm?
We are educators. Hemingway Hill’s manifesto is to restore regenerative farming practices, to be an educational epicenter for rain water harvesting, to participate in reforestation and distribution of vitex and flower seeds for bees and milkweed for monarch butterflies, and to inspire everyone to have a farm in their portfolio.
Whether small or vast, we sincerely believe in the value, enjoyment, and diversification that comes with owning land. We also believe it’s important to introduce these ideals to children at a young age. We aim to educate the next generation of farmers. To that end, we support arbor days in schools and encourage enjoyment of nature through our unique family and school programs.
Whether it’s agriculture education, tulip planting experiences in our fields, or children’s birds, butterflies and bees nature class, we offer unique hands-on, creative educational experiences that center on a connection with nature. Make sure to join our email list as our future class announcements will be made first through here and you can sign up here.
Apple Cider Donuts
We believe wholeheartedly that eating an apple cider donut will greatly enhance your mood.
After traveling across country, visiting farms, we found the most amazing donut recipe, invested in one of the best donut making machines and even went donut making class. When you hear the large black bell ring at the farm, that means somebody just made fresh warm donuts for you.
