Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we are part of a growing movement to reconnect people to a more natural, wholesome, and healthy existence.We selected cattle to be the mainstay of our farm due to our affinity with this truly gentle creature that has historically connected mankind with the natural world. Therefore, our natural beef is the way most of you come to know us. We are seeking people from all walks of life, who share our vision of how a farm should serve its community and provide them with the ability to order natural products. While cattle are the centerpiece at Wolf Creek Farm, we do offer several other services and welcome friends and neighbors to come visit us. While there is always work to be done on the farm (see farm calendar) and every day is filled with projects, both planned and unplanned, we are always pleased to see visitors. We may only be able to stop for a while to visit with you, but typically we can let you enjoy most of the working areas of the farm and perhaps bring home some of nature's bounty. Wolf Creek Farm is part of the “Slow Food” movement that is bringing people all over the world back in touch with their local customs, communities, and cultures.
