Learn the art of sausage making in this hands-on class with Butcher Brian! Start with a discussion led by our Farm Director, Virginia Hamilton, on pasture raised pork and its health benefits. Then, break down your own pork shoulder, grind, mix, and link sausage from scratch. Enjoy house-made charcuterie, local beverages, and take home 5 pounds of your own sausage plus a new boning knife. Only 4 spots available—reserve yours now!

Established in 1916, the farm is open year-round. We offer 100% grassfed beef, pasture raised pork & poultry, lunch, brunch, seasonal events, in-house butchery, gifts, baby animals, group tours, venue rentals, concerts, catering, and family fun.

"Everything good and wholesome about farms and southern Appalachia! This is our favorite place to eat, play or just hang out and watch the goats.  Best food and amazing vibe.  Don't hesitate - just go!"
