A farm that has activities and fun for everyone awaits at Hickory Nut Gap.

Hickory Nut Gap Farm is a real working farm that is open to the public 7 days a week. Located about 20-25mins from downtown it is an awesome lunch spot that the kids will love! HNG is a spot we always plan to stop at when we are passing by to some of our favorite hikes. Our toddler can spend hours looking at all the farm animals, playing in the sound silo, and just running around outside while we enjoy some delicious food! The farm truly practices farm to fork, every meal and meat they serve and sell comes right from the pastures all around. If they don't grow it, raise it, or make it they make sure to source it locally. Everything we have ever eaten there has been amazing! They also have a store where you can purchase all of their meats and products. 

The road up towards the animals is gravel but a jogging stroller (or little legs!) can easily make it up there. The last time we were there they had turkeys, pigs, calves, and goats out to see. Make sure to head into the sound silo as well to discover some fun instruments and echos from within, there is also an education barn where they give classes and tours.  There are many picnic tables in the barn to enjoy your food, and a very clean restroom in the store.
