I am sure you have all noticed the new name at the top of our website. We are now known as a whole as Cherokee Flats. Cody's Rabbit Cave and Austin's Chicken House will still have their names on paperwork and will remain individual from Cherokee Farms. We had discussed changing it all over to Cherokee Flats Farm but, after great discussion with the boys, determined that they still wanted there things seperate!!

 

BOYS!

 

If you have any questions, please let us know!!
