We welcome you to The White Pig Bed and Breakfast at Briar Creek Farm; a vegan retreat Schuyler, best known as the childhood home of author Earl Hamner, and inspiration for the television series The Walton's, is a small town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The White Pig Bed and Breakfast allows guests to escape to a peaceful, compassionate environment and commune with nature. We've created a place where people can come and enjoy healthy vegan meals, delight in some quiet meditative time and visit with our animal friends both domestic and wild. We look forward to your visit!
As you enter the gate, ride up the long, winding drive and over the Briar Creek, you enter a world of peace and tranquility. You are now at Briar Creek Farm, a beautiful 170 acre, century old tree farm with a lovely natural pond, babbling creek, and acres of meadows and forests.
The Briar Creek Farm is mostly wooded and untouched, creating a sanctuary -like environment for the birds and other wildlife that inhabit the area. Since the farm seems to be encapsulated in time, things are virtually the same as they were over 100 years ago. Treading lightly on the land, quiet walking paths have been created for our guests to catch a glimpse of the numerous birds, plants and wildlife that call Briar Creek Farm their home.
The Briar Creek Farm is also home to our precious miniature pot-bellied pigs, three dogs and two cats. While visiting you can give a pig a belly rub or just enjoy some time watching the pigs meander through the fields.
Perched high on top a foothill, The White Pig Bed and Breakfast overlooks some of the farm's meadows, mature forest and distant views of Appleberry Mountain and the famed Walton's Mountain. The innkeepers are only the third family to own the late 1800's home that is now The White Pig Bed and Breakfast.
