Farm Location (Map)
Notes:
The main entrance to the farm is via Deerwood Drive (lower right-hand side of the map), horizontally after crossing Denmark Avenue.
The main farm buildings (house, barn, warehouse) are located on the lower right-hand side of the map, to the west of the two lakes.
Dakota County and the City of Eagan built Wescott Road across the farm (top) in the early 1980s.
