It is climate controlled as well as handicapped accessible. Grill out on the large 40x16 deck overlooking the riding arenas and Blue Ridge Mountains. All facilities at Eden Farms are handicapped accessible and kid friendly. 

     Depending on the size, age, and interests of your group, we can plan a day just for you! Basic rates start at $150 for a group of up to 15 people. Please call today for more information or to make a reservation.
