A Nursery, a Farm, and a Campground.

We recently opened our new retail building at the Nursery, here in Franklin, which is home to houseplants, tools, and gifts, in addition to our diverse range of quality plants and farm produce. We have dedicated ourselves to increasing our range of available native plants; an important part of our mission to be more sustainable and to support our local ecosystems.

Our Farm has 2 locations: Valley and Mountain.

The Valley Farm (next to the Nursery) is our main location for vegetable production.  Right here, we grow all of our produce and vegetable plant starts – all local and certified naturally grown. We start our vegetable production in our new farm propagation space, funded by a grant from WNC AgOptions.

The Mountain Farm (a private residence) is less than a mile from the Appalachian Trail and sits on the Nantahala River. We began the whole shebang here, which is now mostly devoted to pasture for sheep and poultry. One acre is set aside for some vegetable production. This location is also home to our new grist mill.

You can buy all farm products (eggs, produce, meat, yarn and more) at our Nursery Retail Center in Franklin.

And now, a Campground!

In 2022, we converted a large portion of our private mountain farm into a beautiful campground. As a camper, you can take a self-guided tour of the farm and meet the sheep! But it’s more than that: We have regular campsites with firepits and picnic tables and then we have glamping sites that range from power and water facilities at the site all the way up to a full blown apartment rental with a lot of unique options in between.
