Buena Vista Farms

Buena Vista Farms also offers sporting clay shooting on a 12-station course, a 250-yard rifle and pistol range and a 30-station 3-D archery course. For parties, conferences and special events, it provides the opportunity to go fishing, canoeing, paddleboating and hiking. On July 16-17, Buena Vista Farms will host the Rinehart Target R100 archery event in Illinois. "We are expecting between 500 and 700 archery enthusiasts," Nestor Gutierrez said. "This is the best-known 3-D target manufacturer, and they will bring full-size, high-density foam targets of North American and African animals. We are honored to host that event. Only one facility is chosen in Illinois each year to host the event." The Gutierrezes hope to expand Buena Vista Farms in the future. "As the expansion of U.S. 67 from St. Louis to the Quad Cities comes to fruition, we plan to invest each year in another part of our business," Teriann Gutierrez said. Buena Vista Farms is open April 1 through the Christmas season by appointment.
