Ratchford Buffalo Farms is nestled in the heart of the Ozarks on roughly 500 acres. Where our Buffalo, Cattle and other animals graze in the meadows and fields and roam the hills and hollows and drink from 11 free flowing springs. My family has lived in these parts for over 150 years ever since my great grandfather settled here from Georgia. This land has been used for may things. From raising cotton, corn, hogs, cattle and at one time my family was one of the largest strawberry producers in the state and always raised a large vegetable garden. I can still remember my daddy plowing this ground with a big black team of mules. For the past 20 years we have raised Buffalo. But the commitment has always been the same. Taking the time to help your neighbor, even if he does not ask. Keeping your word, a man is only as good as his word . Treating people fairly and with respect, if you can not respect others you can not respect yourself. And for each generation to leave the land in better shape than when you started farming it.

2 nights at The Buffalo Farm

We loved our stay at the Buffalo Farm cabin 1! It was exactly as pictured and went above and beyond our expectations. Star gazing while in the hot tub was unbelievable! We also saw a fox in the field behind the cabin. The cabin was in a great location - in the quiet countryside, but not too remote. An added bonus was LC’s tour of his farm. It was fun to see the animals (some close up) but our favorite was getting to feed the buffalo. LC is an amazing host and took care to make sure we had an awesome stay. Can’t wait to go back!

Nestled in a picturesque location, the cabin offered the ideal escape for my significant other, her daughter, and her daughter's husband. It was a peaceful retreat that felt like a hidden gem. The cabin itself was spotless and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could need. The cozy interior created the perfect setting for quality family time, and the views from the porch were breathtaking. We especially loved the sounds of the creek running nearby—it truly set the tone for relaxation and rejuvenation. The 14-acre property offered plenty of space to explore. Whether we were taking a leisurely walk along the creek or simply soaking in the natural beauty around us, every moment felt like an adventure. The host clearly put a lot of love into this property, and it shows in every detail. This cabin is a dream destination for anyone seeking tranquility, natural beauty, and a chance to connect with loved ones. We can't recommend it enough and are already planning our return trip. Thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven with us!
