Musical Feast: Bison and Camels and Watusi …Oh My!

Saturday, June 2, 2018 @ 10:30 am

$27.00 – $50.00
  • « Musical Feast: A Minor Miracle
  • Musical Feast: Fancy Fiddlin’ with a Feast »

This event is SOLD OUT.

For a most unusual Musical Feast experience, consider spending a day on a working farm, surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Located in Leicester about fifteen minutes from downtown Asheville, the Dr. King Carolina Bison Farm is home to a variety of animals –American Buffalo (Bison), rare Black Bison, rare White Bison, milking Camels, African Watusi, North American Elk, White Tailed Deer, and Himalayan Yak.

You will be transported through the fields on a tractor-pulled trailer so as to “get up close and personal” with the animals as they graze. You may be able to hand feed the Bison. Children should find this particularly exciting.

After the tour of approximately ninety minutes, Mike Ellington, the manager, will tell you all about the farm business, the benefits of bison over beef and he will be prepared to answer your questions about any and all of the animals.

The experience would not be complete without sampling grilled bison burgers and hot dogs. The meat, of course, will be supplemented by condiments and the usual picnic fare.

Don’t miss this Feast – a party for grown-ups and kids alike. This is your chance to get out in the country for a great new family activity!

Note: All attendees will be required to sign a liability waiver upon arrival at the farm.
