Person County is just north of Durham. Many people know it for its quaint uptown, dotted with artist shops and the occasional classic car. Some call it home on the weekends as they perfect a wake-to-wake jump or just relax in a hammock on the shores of Hyco or Mayo Lake. Here, you can find up-and-coming breweries run by rocket scientists. And chef-owned restaurants where meals aren’t just prepared, but crafted from farm to table.This county is a place that truly lives up to its motto: It's better in Person.
Head out to the Sunset Ridge Buffalo Farm to meet its owner, Jack Pleasant, and get a feel for all the work that goes into caring for these beautiful animals.
It's really amazing to see them in these herds with their calves, adults range from 900 to 1,100 lbs so they are solid beasties
