Lazy G Ranch

Eddie and his wife, Frida, run the Lazy G Ranch, a sprawling 250-acre haven for 150 bison. They offer educational tours for children across Middle Tennessee. Kids get a classroom session on bison history and future, followed by a wagon ride where they can observe the herd firsthand.

Eddie and Frida even help aspiring bison ranchers get started by selling starter herds. Frida holds a special place in her heart for these animals, refusing to sell any named bison – they become part of the Lazy G family!

Beyond bison, the ranch buzzes with annual events like live nativity scenes, Christmas lights, and delicious stew cook-offs. We look forward to seeing you there!
