Mighty Oaks Farm

This farm is such a wonderful surprise! Learned about them through a local farmer’s market — this family (husband and wife and two kids) warmly welcome visitors to tour their little working farm. This really is a crazy and fun little place! All of the animals have names and are free range — like Jack and Jill, the resident turkeys; Diamond, the chicken with a brood of guineas; and Sparky, the old retired pointer who didn’t have the attention span to cut it as a hunting dog, but still diligently follows around the hens all day and points at them.
This is a great spot for families and kids — all of the animals are well-​handled and gentle, and are under great control by the owners. Tours are free, and include interaction with all the animals, great info on farm life and even beekeeping, and believe it or not, you can milk a goat as part of the tour! We didn’t do that part — maybe next time :) They also create a great line of high quality goat’s milk soaps, home grown luffas, and their own honey. All for sale on site.
When we went, you have to call to make an appointment for a tour (they’re almost always there at the farm), but they said they’re working on maybe having regular days/​hours during the peak summer months in 2015. Oh, and they’re only about 5 minutes off Hwy 58 between Clarksville and Boydton, and just minutes from Rudd’s Creek Campground and Occoneechee State Park…
