Still Rock Farms

Imagine waking up in the morning, putting on a sweater, and taking your steaming mug of coffee out to the screened deck to overlook the fields of grazing cattle. One-hundred-plus fenced acres of private land surround the cabin, which is sided with wood that was milled from the very trees that were cleared to build the home. Stretch your legs and explore Still Rock Farms' beautiful rolling pasture and forest. Several miles of rough roads run through the property that are ideal for hiking and mountain biking. 

The guest cabin may be newly constructed, but much else at Still Rock Farms stands as it has for over a century, including a family cemetery with gravestones dating back to the 1800s, farm relics like a mule-driven plow that until recently worked the hillside for corn, and preserved structures that showcase the property's history such as the salthouse, canning house, and original farmhouse. As you drive to the property you’ll pass one of the two Allen E. Roberts Barns built in the early 1800s and converted to burley tobacco barns in the mid 1950s.  These are built of of finely hewn logs with half-dovetail corner notches, the largest log being 19 inches high. They are part of the South Marshall Township Historic Barn Tour, which is a project of the Appalachian Barn Alliance, and you’re welcome to walk to the smaller of the two and tour it any time, as it is part of the property.  Still Rock Farms owes its namesake to the old days when corn liquor was made in abundance in this region - a hillside cave shows evidence of bygone times with a black soot outline on the rock where the moonshine still once burned. 

Today, Still Rock Farms is home to over fifty head of cattle and one miniature donkey named Eeyore. As a guest on the farm, you'll witness the daily activities of tending to the cows and caring for the property, and the owners are always happy to answer questions! Agritourism is an exciting educational opportunity, especially for children, to see a working farm and witness a way of life that emphasizes down-to-earth values like respect for the land and hard work. Be it an encounter with a grazing cow, a hike through the woods, or a raspberry picked and eaten right off the bush, Still Rock Farms offers a true break from the rush!

• Still Rock Farms is a working cattle farm and guests are likely to see daily activity. The owners are very respectful of guest privacy.

• Cow Crossing! Guests may encounter livestock in the road leading to the cabin, however, the area directly around the cabin is fenced to keep the cows out of the yard.
