True Cut Ranch of Claremont

08/19/2026

Planning to visit True Cut Ranch of Claremont from the or area?

Why not take the backroads and make a little day trip out of it?

Start on Highway 16, then turn right onto Buffalo Shoals Road.

You'll drive right by historic Murray's Mill Historic District, so you might as well stop to explore the grounds for free or buy a ticket to tour the mill.

Take a break in the adorable Town of Catawba for a late breakfast, specialty coffee, or lunch at Taste of Catawba, then visit another historic site: the Bunker Hill Covered Bridge, one of the last remaining covered bridges in NC.

Finally, arrive at True Cut Ranch for shopping, fishing, and animal viewing.

Half Day Itinerary:

* Head north on Highway 16.

* Visit Murray's Mill Historic District for either a quick, free stroll or buy a ticket to tour the mill.

* Break for coffee, breakfast, or lunch at Taste of Catawba.

* It's only a 4 minute drive from Downtown Catawba to take a selfie at one of NC's last remaining covered bridges, the Bunker Hill High School. This historic attraction is free to visit.

* Just ten more minutes of driving then you'll pull through the gate to enter True Cut Ranch, take it slow and roll down the windows to take in the serenity and scenery of our family's 140+ acre farm. The farm store is open 10am to 6pm on Fridays and Saturdays; inside you'll find meats from our farm, ice cream, beef jerky, fresh produce, and other products from local and organic farms. Grab a snack and drink from the farm store to enjoy at our covered "Creekview" picnic area.

😳 “The cows are out! All of them! In the road!” 😳

Oh boy, do I have a story for you! It’s funny, now that all ended well, and the driver who caused the incident was identified.

Make sure you’re getting our text or email newsletter, because this was definitely not a normal Saturday afternoon incident at the ranch. I can’t wait to tell you all about what happened while Fred and I were away!

Join the text newsletter: text TRUE to 704-686-8883.

Coming up next weekend:

Sourdough Focaccia Workshop (make then take home your focaccia dough to bake + herbs to top it with from the True Cut Ranch gardens)

Free bone broth demonstration in the farm store (this time it’s a ramen-inspired pork broth with ginger and turmeric - perfect for quick meals later!)
