COME TO HEMINGWAY HILL
A Fast, Peaceful Getaway from Dallas.
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.
VISIT IN ALL 3 SEASONS
1. Spring U-Pick Tulips at Our Tulipville!
Our spring Tulipville begins Thursday, March 6th, 2025, 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. Final day of U-Pick season for this season will be Sunday, March 16.
Hours this weekend are Friday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and Sunday 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

Our Summer Bouquets season invites you to craft your unique bouquet at our U-Pick Cut Flower and Sunflower fields. Opening for U Pick begins the end of May 2025, through July 4th. Enjoy handmade Apple cider donuts on Saturdays, with more food offerings to be added in the coming seasons.
Opens end of May 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 the weekend before Thanksgiving on Saturday November 22, for customers to purchase their fresh-cut Noble and Nordmann Christmas trees, while our baby trees grow and offer hand-tied wreaths, garlands and Christmas Flowers. We offer photo op opportunities, wreath making classes, s’mores, and apple cider donuts.
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 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.
