Our story

About Sweetwater Farms.

Sweetwater Farms is a family-friendly working farm located in Huntersville, just minutes from Lake Norman. The property features a variety of animals — including goats, pigs, ponies, and horses — alongside well-maintained grounds that visitors consistently describe as clean and peaceful. A creek, shaded areas, and thoughtfully arranged spaces make it a comfortable outing for families of all sizes.

The farm has expanded its offerings over time, adding a large play area that includes a dirt mound with a tunnel, a sand pit with toys, and wagon access throughout the grounds for younger visitors. On-site food options include a pizza offering and a treat stand, and a gift shop rounds out the experience. Customers frequently note the affordability and the attentiveness of the staff.

The only think I regnet is not finding this place earlier! It’s absolutely beautiful. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was not crowded at all. Plenty of parking and buying a ticket online will save you $1. kids under 2 are free! They have so much to explore - a little beach area, a running water creek to play in, a playground, farm animals, a little shop, options to buy lemonade and coffee. Wagons you can use to stroll around. We really enjoyed it! Make sure to bring sunscreen since there is minimal shade and a pair of change clothes - it will get wet and muddy! We will definitely come back!! Thank you!

Me and my 2 young children (6 & 3) came here for the first time and it was so much fun! It wasn't that busy for a Saturday and they have a ton of activities for the kids! They even have pizza, lemonade, Popsicles, and a gift shop. We will definitely be back!

Great place to bring the family. Super affordable for my family of five, we had a great time petting the animals and then the kids got out some energy playing on several of the areas for kids. Definitely recommend

It's toddler heaven! It's also fun for all ages :) The animals and facilities are all taken care of well and it is a peaceful setting to relax and have fun. The pizza was good ($15 for a big cheese) and they have a treat stand on the property. We definitely spent a couple hours here on both Sat and Sun. I highly recommend Sweetwater Farms!

Pretty cool spot with a creek, outdoor dirt mound with a tunnel and sand pit with toys. They also have a few different animals here, goats, pigs, ponies, and horses. Ran out of time but the gift store has some pretty cool things. They also have a food cart.
