Unique Farm Experiences for Everyone

Cedar Pond Farms is a local Tennessee business that is “Anchored in Heritage and Tailored for Today.” With that being said, the farm has endured many changes over the years, going from a thriving dairy farm to a redeveloped operation serving immersive farm experiences to the local community. Our business stands out for incorporating sustainable practices with each activity to ensure guests enjoy the land while maintaining our promise to minimize our carbon footprint and support other local farmers in the area.

In this blog, we’ll be discussing the different special farm experiences we have to offer and how you can immerse yourself in the beauty of our farm life!

Fluffy Cow Encounters

The pride and joy of the farm, our Scottish Highland cows, are a fan-favorite and for good reason! Known as the world’s oldest cattle breed, these gentle giants are a great activity for families, history buffs, nature lovers, or those who are simply seeking a fun and interactive activity while in New Market, TN. Our fluffy cows are docile beings who enjoy visitors, so don’t be afraid to get up close and personal with them. You’ll have the opportunity to feed them their favorite treats, learn the history of this resilient breed, and brush their luscious coats. 

We stand out among other farms for allowing guests to step beyond the gates and into their natural habitat. And the best part of it all? They’re very photogenic, so whip out those cameras and show off these animals on your social media.

Farm Photoshoots

If you want a higher-quality photo album to commemorate your farm visit, we’ve got you covered. For every guest that comes to the farm for our Fluffy Cow Encounters, we have one of our team members snap plenty of pictures for the whole family to look back on. For those wanting a more professional experience, you’re more than welcome to bring your own photographer and really immerse yourself in the beauty of our farm. Our scenic background offers the perfect location for a casual cow encounter to full-on engagement photoshoots

Highland Cow Painting

This farm experience is for our creatives out there! We have a professional art instructor on-site who will teach you how to work with acrylic paint in a fun and beginner-friendly manner. Paint as your heart desires. Once you’re done with your masterpiece, take it home as a keepsake of your time at Cedar Pond Farms.

Pick & Press Workshop

Another artistic way to enjoy the farm — our floral jewelry workshop. For those wanting a creative yet functional activity, our Pick & Press Workshop is perfect. You’ll get the chance to explore our gardens to pick out seasonal flowers that speak to you. Once you’ve found your bundle, you’ll learn how to press them and design your own pair of handcrafted floral earrings to rock with any outfit. 

Feathers & Farm Fresh Eggs

Yes, you heard that right. You can step into the shoes of a real farmer by feeding our chickens and ducks, exploring the nesting boxes, and gathering farm fresh eggs to take home. This educational activity is great for our animal lovers. Use our eggs in homemade recipes, or if you want to skip out on the actual cooking but still want to enjoy the dishes, consider trying out our sister company, Gelato Brothers on-site. Our waffle chips — we call them brodallions — are baked right on the farm using our farm-fresh eggs — talk about the perfect sweet treat!

U-Pick Sunflowers

Running from late May through October, our vibrant sunflower fields are open to the public for a beautiful photo backdrop or picking a bundle for your home decor. Our U-Pick experience isn’t just limited to sunflowers. We also offer seasonal zinnias and cosmos to spice up your bouquets with an extra pop of color. Guests are urged to practice sustainability to ensure that our gardens stay healthy and blooming for all visitors throughout the season. 

Bachelorette/Hen Parties

To our brides-to-be, don’t think we forgot about you! To celebrate those who are getting married, we host beautiful and chic bachelorette parties — trading in the typical party scene for a unique and stylish countryside retreat. Step away from the screens and immerse yourself in nature with our barndominium farm stays. Remember all those farm experiences we just mentioned? When you book a farm stay with us, you’ll get exclusive access to all the fun. From fresh eggs to a photo op with our fluffy cows, it’s the perfect well-rounded experience to celebrate before married life.
