What Our Customers Are Saying:
We had a wonderful day visiting three gorgeous Fairview farms on our tour. We wandered through vibrant flower fields and lush veggie patches, sampled incredible cave-aged raw milk cow’s cheese, and ended our adventure at Hickory Nut Gap, where we spent time with the sweetest baby goats and curious chickens. Lunch was delicious—fresh, local, and full of flavor. The entire experience was truly special and highly recommended for anyone who appreciates good food, open spaces, and the joy of connecting with the land.
Exploring food and farms reminds us how many places celebrate culture and flavor in their own unique ways.
For a fun twist on Japanese street food, check out Spring Creek Restaurant, where creativity and tradition meet.
If you’re in the mood for authentic Indian sweets or snacks, CarolAnn’s Cuisines brings comfort and spice together beautifully.
Craving a slice of Italian-American goodness? Isabelle et Vincent is the perfect stop for familiar, satisfying flavors.
And for a refined, sit-down Italian experience, Pearl’s Saltwater Grille offers warm hospitality and beautifully crafted dishes.
No matter where your food journey takes you, there’s something magical about discovering places that put heart into every bite.

Had a great time visiting a small ranch farm, a goat farm cheese creamery, and a homesteaded farm where we had a delicious meal prepared from all local veggies, meats, and cheeses. Family visitors plan to do this tour when they arrive this summer.
