Alright, folks—if you’ve been feelin’ a little too connected to your phone and not connected enough to fresh air, baby animals, and wide open pastures, it’s time for a mini Michigan escape that’ll melt your stress faster than a summer popsicle. Let me introduce you to the sweet little gem that is Upland Hills Farm, located at 481 Lake George Rd, Oxford, MI 48370. This place is basically where cozy country vibes, wholesome family fun, and a pinch of magic all hang out together in one beautiful slice of Oakland County.

Established way back in 1960, Upland Hills isn’t just your average petting farm—it’s a full-on experience. Whether you're a parent bringing your kids to feed goats, or a grown-up just looking to disconnect from emails and reconnect with nature, Upland Hills has a vibe that'll win you over instantly. There’s something about being surrounded by chickens, ponies, sheep, and even a couple of curious donkeys that makes you forget all about traffic, deadlines, or whatever chaos you left back in the city. And yes, it’s a working farm, so the smells and sounds? Totally real, and honestly, kinda refreshing. Don’t say I didn’t warn you when a rooster gives you a wake-up call mid-morning.

One of the best things about Upland Hills is the way they’ve turned their space into a learning playground. They’ve got programs for school groups, summer camps, and seasonal events like pumpkin picking in the fall and good old-fashioned hayrides. Their philosophy is all about teaching kids (and adults!) to appreciate the land, love animals, and understand where our food comes from. It’s not preachy—it’s playful, hands-on, and just downright charming.

They even have a little theater on-site where they host puppet shows and seasonal productions, and lemme tell you—it’s not just for kids. I’ve seen grown adults laughing and clapping like they were 5 years old again. It’s pure magic. And if you swing by during fall, the place transforms into an autumn wonderland, complete with cider, donuts, hayrides, and that crisp Michigan air that makes you wanna cozy up in a hoodie and never leave.

Now let’s talk about Oxford—this little town is the real deal. A classic Michigan small town with a downtown strip that feels like something out of a Hallmark movie. After you’re done at the farm, hit up downtown Oxford for some antique shopping, locally roasted coffee at Evergreens Coffee & Co., or grab a bite at Sullivan’s Public House—a cozy Irish pub that’s always got great grub and warm vibes. Lake George is right around the corner too, so if you’re feeling extra outdoorsy, bring a kayak or just chill by the water and soak up some sun.

Oxford sits right in that sweet spot where you feel like you’re away from it all—but you’re actually less than an hour from Detroit. So whether you're coming from the city, nearby suburbs, or just cruisin’ through on a weekend road trip, Upland Hills Farm is the kind of low-key, high-reward destination that’ll leave you smiling (and maybe a little muddy).
