Hemingway Hill
A fun place to take the family outdoors
The Farm
Hemingway Hill is privately owned, beautiful, regenerative farm that is located in Terrell, Texas and is just a short drive from Forney, Kaufman, and the Dallas area. Each year, our farm opens its gates to the public, during these 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 and warm apple cider donuts. Hemingway Hill will greet you with peace and calm, that will cause you to return, through every season, to this special place.
3 Seasons for you to experience the farm
1. U-Pick Tulips at our 3rd annual Tulipville!
Holland now in East Texas! Tulipville begins Thursday, February 18, 2027. Field is open Thursday through Sunday, with free admission on Thursdays. Wedding level Tulips, incredible photo ops, farm ball kid game, tasty snacks, cold brew coffee, strawberry matchas, and warm apple cider donuts.
2. U-Pick flowers and Sunflower Experience
3. Old Fashion farm experience to get your Christmas Tree
This is one of our most popular seasons. Open the weekend before Thanksgiving, our sought-after “Reindeer endorsed” fresh-cut, signature Noble and Nordman trees and hand-tied wreaths and gorgeous garland, go fast. Incredible photo ops, free s’mores and hot chocolates for the kids and yes, warm apple cider donuts (for purchase) on Weekends.
When is the Last Time You saw a Sheep? Did you know listening to songbirds 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.) PS the sheep will be on ‘spring break’ during tulip season visiting their cousins in another state.
Have you ever dreamed 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. Announcements will be made through here. Be on the lookout for our YouTube & Farm Portfolio Podcast.
Apple Cider Donuts
We believe wholeheartedly that eating an apple cider donut will greatly enhance your farm experience. We have them at our U-Pick Tulip season and at Christmas.
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.
