Customer Quote:
"We make Vollmer Farm and the Back 40 an annual family tradition.  It is one of the most anticipated family days we have all year! Our kids equate fall season fun with the Vollmer Farm Back 40 and ask constantly about when we can go back!" 
--Kate B., Chapel Hill, NC

Where did the term "Back Forty" originate?
"Back 40" is a beloved American term used to describe a 40 acre parcel of land, specifically one sixteenth of a section, constituting the smallest unit of agricultural land commonly surveyed. "Back 40" can also refer to an undeveloped plot of land (as on a farm, ranch, etc.) of unspecified size. 

In the original Homestead Act of 1862, during the Lincoln Administration, each settler was allocated 160 acres of land; in other words, a quarter-section. The terms "lower 40", "front 40", and "back 40" were used to reference a specific quarter section. 
At Vollmer Farm, our Back 40 means FUN for all ages!
