Catawba Farms adds ice-skating rink to lineup at agritourism project

NEWTON, N.C. — Catawba Farms had added a high-tech “ice”-skating rink to its Newton property.

The Rink at Catawba Farms is the latest addition to that nearly $2.7 million agritourism project in Catawba County. The rink consists of 3,200 square feet of skating surface known as eco-ice. That surface, made by Swiss company Glice, allows for all-temperature, year-round skating.

The project cost $165,000.

“The Rink is consistent with our vision for Catawba Farms: a regional agritourism destination that offers superior hospitality and a unique, engaging, affordable experience for guests,” says Twyla Deese.

She, along with friends and business partners Dennis Baucom and Michael Waltuch, is behind that venture.
