FAQs, Policies and Commissary

THIS IS HOW WE TICK…

Welcome to the Knolle Farm and Ranch the ultimate South Texas Bed & Breakfast, and Ranch Wedding Venue in Corpus Christi, TX. Ours is an ideal spot for Texas family vacation, private get-away, corporate retreat, or Texas hunting trip, not to mention an enchanting outdoor wedding. We offer child and pet friendly lodging, (please consult before bringing a pet, as we do have a pet charge), delicious, farm to table meals, and a variety of on-site activities. We are even located in close proximity to some of the area’s most exciting interests as well. When planning your trip to the Knolle Farm & Ranch please look over our policies and feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.

LITTLE STORE

Guests are continually asking us if they can buy our honey, cookbooks, hunting shirts, eggs, toiletries, (and lots more), or, if any of the lovely items in the B&B are for sale. The answer is “yes” to lots of these questions, and we want to make it easier for guests to take home a gift, remembrance, or something yummy from our kitchen or vegetable gardens. Therefore, we have a small “commissary” for guests to purchase these items, and more- The new Knolle General Store! Watch for more information on this; but, please enjoy some sample photos of what to expect below:
