Thoughts from the community
"I can't even put into words the fun and welcome feeling at this farm! The love goes way beyond the fields and the animals! My daughter had an amazing time and meeting/ eating hay with Olive and the family was a huge blessing! We will be at all the events from here on out and have more fun and parties! There is a huge area to party, you can decorate any way you would like, & the animals are amazing and calm!!! Beautiful layout and a beautiful family!!!!"

We had an amazing experience at Olive Branch Cattle Co! We did my daughters birthday party there (her choice of locations we offered). The kids and parents that came all had and absolute blast! The owners are so friendly and easy to plan with and talk to. We added the Hot Cocoa bar to our party plan and it was such a hit! It's easy to find; just a few minutes off of Highway 40. I wasn't disappointed in any part of our time there and wouldn't change a thing. They supplied all of us with feed for the animals and even made up treat bags for us to give the kids who came to our party, which saved me a ton of time. I highly recommend visiting here!"
