Onward Acres is a pre-Civil War historic settlement in Lawrence County located off Old Route 66 between Springfield and Joplin, Missouri. Onward Acres LLC is owned by Sarah Larsen who is a fifth-generation landowner in her family. Her great-great grandfather settled here just after the Civil War.

While Onward Acres has deep roots in southwest Missouri, it is a fresh, new farm experience to the area. Sarah's vision of Onward Acres is a space where families can purchase farm-fresh produce. In the summer, there will be options like sweet corn and watermelon and harvest season will end in a robust pumpkin patch, where interesting varieties of pumpkins can be purchased or picked!

On top of opportunities to get fresh produce, Onward Acres will complete the farm experience with super-fun kids' activities, educational and interactive activities and farm-animal exhibits, and unique photo ops for beautiful farm pictures. It will be a place to celebrate the beauty and bounty of nature and have modern fun at a beautiful, historic family farm.
