The Mountain Farm is where it all began, alongside the former Rainbow Springs Campground and forming part of a private residence. It sits along the Nantahala River, fed by the headwaters in the ridges just above it. The land is devoted to pasture for Icelandic Sheep and poultry. We also have a small plot dedicated to colder temperature vegetable gardening, due to the higher elevation. We raise our animals with organic, sustainable feed and allow them to roam and graze freely on our pasture. This location is also home to our new grist mill.
The Valley Farm is directly adjacent to the retail nursery in Franklin, NC, just off the Highlands Road. It is here that the majority of our Certified Naturally Grown produce is tended to. We use all organic practices to grow fresh, seasonal, local produce for you and your family. We have a farm propagation heated house for seed starting and taking care of small seedlings in the winter. This hot house was converted from an old hoop house for the nursery with help from a grant from WNC AgOptions Award.
Our Farm raises spring vegetable plant starts using the same organic practices we use for our own farm fields. You can plant these at just the right time in the season (after the last frost) and skip the weeks and worry it takes to grow from seed, knowing your vegetables had a healthy start in life.
