Why Bike the Natchez Trace?


Whether it's pedal bike or motorcycle, biking the Natchez Trace has become a very popular thing to do.

There are three main reasons why:

  • Commercial traffic is prohibited on the Trace.  And the speed limit is only 50 miles per hour (except for the northernmost 14 miles where it is 40 mph)
  • The Trace is a very safe environment.  If you or a friend or family member is somewhat inexperienced and are looking for a place to get started, try biking the Trace
  • There are over 35 B&Bs cottages and cabins spaced out along the Trace as part of the Natchez Trace Bed & Breakfast Reservation Service.  
Free planning can be obtained at the link above.  The planning includes confirmation letters, recommenced bike routes and other useful information for biking the trace.  For this free service you can call 800.377.2770  

Buffalo River Farm and Studio, located 3.3 miles from the Trace,  is a partner B&B with the Natchez Trace Reservation Service and provides indoor storage of bicycles, a great place to stay as well as a hearty breakfast.  

We hope to see you soon!!

Video Tour of Buffalo River Farm and Studio Bed and Breakfast


Buffalo River Farm and Studio is a 456 acre working family farm located in Southern Middle Tennessee.  Take a tour of the studio and bed and breakfast above.

Our friends at Fields of Tara video productions did an outstanding job with the video.  Check out their Fields of Tara YouTube channel for sights and sounds of Lawrence County events.

This is a special place in a very special area of Tennessee.  The Natchez Trace parkway is only 3.3 miles from the farm and you can take the Trace all the way to Nashville for a beautiful drive.  Plan your Natchez Trace Parkway visit here. 

The Amish are a big part of the Lawrence County community and you will be charmed by the horse and buggy parking and horse drinking troughs at the stores, banks as well as other locations. The Amish that reside in Lawrence County Tennessee are Old Order Amish and live very simply without the modern conveniences of television, radio, electricity (of course) telephones, or cars.  Many of the Amish farms can be visited and they have many things for sale.  The Amish farms do not trade on Sunday and many are closed on Wednesday as well.   

Clay Classes at Buffalo River Farm and Studio

This weekend at the studio our first guest arrived!!  and....clay classes were offered on Thursday, January 31 and Saturday, February 2.  This picture is from the class on Saturday and features the teacher, Patty Crocker, from Salisbury, North Carolina teaching our new friend Linda how to work with white clay.  

Patty showed the class how to apply many new textures to the clay object and we have so many to fire!
It was a very productive weekend and hope that our new friends will return for more fun.

Now Open...Buffalo River Farm and Studio Bed and Breakfast



The Amish community was a large part of the building process.  We count them among friends. 

After many months of construction, Buffalo River Farm and Studio Bed and Breakfast has opened.  

The farm is a wonderful place to stay for business or travel and offers 3 comfortable bedrooms in the bed and breakfast.  The 120-foot porch which overlooks the pasture westward toward the Buffalo River, is a quiet place to disconnect from the daily grind or dine in good weather.  The studio can accommodate small seated dinners and is a unique place to host an event.  Getting married?  Have a bridesmaid luncheon or party in the studio.   The studio is the creative workspace of Donna Branch, an award winning artist.  

Buffalo River Farm and Studio maintains a philosophy based on sustainable living and was built using local craftsmen who are extraordinarily talented.  

The farm offers space for business meetings, strategic planning sessions, or private parties.   Call today at 931.964.2533 to learn more.
