Tour 9: 
Beef Cattle and Specialty Markets

The tour will begin with a visit to Shiloh General Store that features Amish baked goods.  Our second stop will be Buck Shoals Vineyard and Winery that features a log cabin tasting room and a winery with eleven varieties of vinifera grapes and six different wines.  The next tour stop will be Bledsoe Farms, a beef cattle operation that also offers freezer beef.  We are then off to W-4 Farms, where they are known for their high quality Angus cattle and are developing an agri-tourism operation.  Our next stop will be Johnson’s Farm where we will have an ice cream break. The farm is a small feedlot with beef cattle and row crops.  We will finish the day at Harris Leather and Silver Works, where they make show equipment from reins to custom show saddles to gold buckle sets.
