Land of Milk and Honey Farm tours serving Boone, Deep Gap, Blowing Rock and beyond with meats, goods, and events.
Offering farm tours 7 days a week serving Boone, Deep Gap, Blowing Rock, and beyond! Just one mile off Hwy. 421 in Deep Gap (next to Boone), the Land of Milk & Honey Farm is nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. We're a Christian Family-owned farm providing beef, pork, lamb, eggs, honey, baked goods and sweets, such as candy, caramels, cookies, marshmallows, jams/marmalades. We also offer a variety of handmade items including beeswax candles, leather goods and skincare. We also offer farm stays through our vacation rental in Deep Gap four houses from our farm. At this short-term Airbnb rental, we have some of our livestock in a paddock next to the house. In addition to this rental, we are Harvest Hosts and offer RV stays directly on our farm and have included bathroom with a shower as well as on site laundry facilities for their use.
We farm on land that has been in our family for around 30 years. We are always expanding and improving paddocks and areas to be of better use in our livestock rotational grazing and vegetable/fruit production. Animals that call our farm home include alpacas, Katahdin hair sheep, pure East Friesian milk sheep, beef cattle, two Jersey milk cows, miniature donkeys, Meishan pasture pigs, Kunekune pasture pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and quail. We also raise honeybees and bottle their honey on site in our honey processing house. We love our animals and being their caretakers.
Farming takes a large amount of time, work, and expense but it can be very rewarding with the slower pace of life, peaceful setting, and quietness in stepping away from the hustle and stress of normal day-to-day life. Here we get to see some of God’s most intricate details in His creations such as a seed turning into a flourishing plant that provides food as well as its own seed for future plantings (Genesis 1:12 - And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind). We watch honeybees who travel for miles gathering nectar to make honey and witness the miracle of life be born. We want the farm to be a place to come and get away, a respite from the all too familiar busyness of normal life to relax and be at peace.
