We are located right outside of Lake Lure & Chimney Rock in village in Rutherfordton, North Carolina

Yes there is free parking as you drive up the driveway please park on the right in the field where signs indicate.

We suggest waterproof closed toe outdoor footwear and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. The experience is outdoors so please make sure you dress appropriately. If you are doing one of our hikes wear closed toe good tread hiking shoes.

You can get up close when advised you can do so, to make sure you are kept safe. Whilst our cattle are friendly and inquisitive, they are farm animals, and can cause serious harm if they are not in the best of moods. We will give you safety instructions.

We provide snacks for coos.  They are picky and only like certain treats that we will provide.

Can I go in with the cows?

Unfortunately not. Only staff and people who are insured are able to go behind the fence with the cows. Guests are able to get close to the cows through the fencing as shown in the gallery.

No unfortunately all pets, besides assistance dogs will need to stay at home.

They are suitable for all ages, for little ones, we do ask that they are well behaved, supervised at all times and don’t run, touch or shout around the animals. This can upset them and we would have to end your experience if this happens.
