Nestled in the Appalachian foothills, with rolling green
pastures, pristine rivers and streams--all against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains--ours is a land of timeless, legendary
beauty. It is easy to see why the Appalachian region is referred to as "the first and last frontier".
Whether it be the colorful splash of the rhododendrons and
dogwoods of Spring, the crape myrtles of Summer, the widely variegated hues of the autumn leaves, or the crispness of
a clear blue sky against the newly fallen snow and the majestic peaks of the Blue Ridge beyond, natural beauty
surrounds us the entire year.
Come and see us, y'all! To quote an often heard local
phrase, "Relax, you're on Patrick County time." Friendly people, natural beauty, and lots to do and see 'round
here....so what are you waiting for?
We are located in Patrick Springs, Virginia, 24133, 35 miles east
of the Blue Ridge Parkway and ten miles north of the North Carolina border.

Florida
We are located on the banks of the Withlacoochee River in Citrus and Levy
Counties. Deemed Florida's "Nature Coast", this area of Florida is one of the last portions of the state where
natural Florida can be observed in all its splendor, relatively free of crowds, traffic jams, and all the other stress-inducing
characteristics of modern, urban Florida living.
It's not unusual to see armadillos, golpher tortoises, and all
kinds of snakes on a daily basis, manatees and dolphins swimming in the river in the winter months, and alligators
swimming in the river or sunning themselves on the banks daily during the warmer parts of the year.
The Withlacoochee, a Florida Outstanding Waterway, sports excellent
fishing, both fresh and salt water, and flows directly into the Gulf of Mexico.
The land along the Withlacoochee River is particularly well-suited
for our Highland catttle, which are well-known for their efficient metabolism and are better-suited than other breeds
of cattle to utilize less than ideal pastures. In addition, the verdant canopy of palmettos, oaks and pines provides
plenty of relief from the harsh summer sun.
