Cost: From $0.00

Enjoy farm raised heritage pork prepared by four competition barbecue teams, animal interactions, plus plenty of side dishes and dessert.


This is a full afternoon on a working farm. Say hello to the cows, pigs, sheep, and guineas, cast a line at the catch-and-release pond, get hands-on at the Cookesville Equipment playground, and browse the farm store in the red barn. Then settle in for heritage pork smoked low and slow by four competition BBQ teams, competing for a $500 cash prize and the True Que competition belt, plus every side dish and dessert you'd want at a Saturday cookout. Only 300 tickets, and this one sells out.

Bring a crowd

Table sales (8 at a picnic table in Creekview or 10 at a table and chairs in the big party tent) and sponsorships ($100 gift card giveaways, beverage station, recycling/composting station, and main stage sponsor) are open now. Email melissa@truecutranch.com.
