Ratchford Buffalo Farms
Marshall, Arkansas 72650
Exciting family adventure!
Overview
Ratchford Buffalo Farms is located on our old family homestead, established by my family about 75 years ago. We now proudly have 5 generations helping run the farm – from our 94-year-old matriarch to her great, great-grandson.
While staying at our farm, we welcome you to join a completely free of charge guided tour to meet our buffaloes, emus, llamas, pot-bellied pigs, goats, and more! We’ll be on the farm the majority of the time to answer any questions you have.
Stay in one of our log cabins and enjoy a soak in the hot tub. Or, find us with a Harvest Host membership and pull up your RV for a free night’s stay.
We are great for families; we are great for road trippers; we are great for elopements and weddings; just about everyone loves our story, our farm, and our buffalo!
The Kenda Drive-In, one of the last Drive-Ins left in the state, is only 6 miles from the farm. Biking or hiking in the Ozark National Forest and Blanchard Caverns are only an hour away. For floating, fishing, swimming, or a great place to see Arkansas’s only heard of wild elk is the Buffalo National River 20 minutes away. Branson Mo. is only an hour away.
