Left onto Bruceville Road

Desmond Road curves and a left turn will bring you onto Bruceville Road. Where the road curves, you'll see a ranch house on the right. This is the Preserve's FarmCenter. Started in 1996, the Preserve's organic farm program invites wildlife by growing beneficial crops and providing habitat buffer zones between cultivated fields. Each year, over 1,000 acres of organic rice are grown and harvested in the fields surrounding the Farm Center. During the winter seasons, Sandhill cranes will frequent this area to forage and roost. Watch along the powerlines and fence posts for Red-shouldered hawks, American kestrels, Golden eagle, and Peregrine falcon.
