Anyone coming in at the 460 and Reedy Spring Rd. intersection look for the Reedy Spring Storage Facility. It is a landmark when turning off the highway.
Occasionally GPS takes people to the top driveway up the hill on Double Bridges Rd.. However, you want the bottom driveway on Double Bridges Rd. "Sams Pl".
We are the farm at the back. Driveway is a 1/2 mile long and built for big rigs. You will see the yellow and stone barn and all the horses when you get to the top of the hill.
