The Ordinary at The Fork Farm and Stables

Stanly County, North Carolina - Since its inception in 1999, The Fork Farm and Stables has quickly become a premier facility for all things "field sport," especially equestrian events. In 1999, this was only a vision for the property, as owner Jim Cogdell retained the services of Field Sport Concepts to assist in bringing the vision to life. FSC worked closely with Mr. Cogdell to prepare a feasibility study for the property, which sits at the confluence of the Pee Dee and Rocky Rivers near Norwood, North Carolina. This study resulted in a conceptual land use diagram, as well as, documentation of the site's history and inventory and analysis of existing ecologic systems partnered with suggested programmatic uses and subsequent management of those uses. This work was backed by conservation principles that further guided the decisions and recommendations made during the design and implementation of the project.

Today, The Ordinary at The Fork offers many opportunities for field sport enthusiasts to pursue outdoor and recreational interests such as fishing, hunting, shooting, boating, biking, archery, cooking schools and painting classes. This facility is aimed at marrying the aspects of education, recreation and conservation while providing each guest a unique experience. The Ordinary is also home to the International Wing Shooting School, directed by Field Sport Concepts' affiliate John Higgins of The British School of Shooting.



This July, Field Sport Concepts will be a proud sponsor of the Inaugural Front Country Festival set for Sunday, July 19 at The Ordinary. This event will not only celebrate the local history of the area, but will also afford opportunities for all to become immersed in traditional and contemporary field sport activities.
