Cherrybend has been the premier pheasant hunting   preserve in southwest Ohio for over 50 years. The farm is owned and operated by Matt & Beth Ellis and Scott & Melissa Ellis.  The family is dedicated to keeping the 370 acre working farm an Ohio pheasant hunting destination. We have additional land adjacent to the preserve for a total of 640 acres to hunt.  This working farm has corn, soybean, wheat stubble, and plots of sunflower, millet, and sorghum.

  We really enjoy having folks come out and hunt our farm.  We have met people from all over the world and made some good friends as well.  So, come on out to our slice of America and see what farm and country life are about.

Updates--July 2010

The 2010 crop is in the ground and has emerged well.  We harvested the wheat and have planted the cover crops in it. We are looking forward to a healthy stand of sorghum!  Our pheasant chicks are growing quickly and we anticipate a wild and athletic bunch of birds! 

The Annual Member Banquet date has been set for Saturday, August 28th. Invitations will be sent soon with details for those members rejoining. For those interested in becoming a new member of Cherrybend, please call for details.
