This classic tenant or "hired man's" house from the late 19th century is open to the general public as well as Bon Accord Bed and Breakfast guests. Antiques and rural items come from area estate sales as well as the Allen's attic. Items made from barnwood salvaged at the farm are a specialty. They include bird houses, garden benches, picture frames and storage crates.

Our deer hunting program is designed to maintain a healthy deer herd and produce some good racks for a limited number of hunters. Most of our hunters return year after year but we always welcome a few newcomers. 20 blinds are scattered on 1200 acres of woods, pasture and cropland. We do not fill them all; when our beds are full we are full!

Opening Day of rifle (we are in the first tier of rifle counties) requires a total season commitment of seven days. Return hunters have preference; this fills early.

Rates include sleeping accommodations and three great meals. Rifle season is $120 per day. A couple or father/son sharing a room costs $180 or, in the case of a non-hunting spouse, $160.

New Bow Hunters get a 20% discount on a weekday hunt.

Turkeys can be hunted during seasons. We seem to have quite a few and permits on private land in our region are quite numerous.

Calves are born and raised on our pastures and a select few are fed to perfection in our feedlot. You can visit either location. Locally processed and aged in a cooling room (avoiding electrical stimulation, radiation, injection of other "modern" tenderization processes.) Cut to your order and frozen in the size packages you prefer.

Buy it because it tastes better! Most of our sales are repeat business or to people who have eaten our beef. If you're a potential customer, ask for a sample one pound pack of burger when you're a guest at Bon Accord. Considerable savings over grocery prices. Current price $1.40 a pound plus processing (add 25-35 cents.)
