Nuptials for Nature

Nestled in the rolling foothills of Western North Carolina, this historic farm is located just 9.5 miles from downtown Asheville.  We have honored the land and our community by restoring 3,000 feet of a French Broad River tributary, creating a program to support new farmers, and establishing a space for environmental education. Our focus here is on Conservation, Education, and YOUR Celebration.

“Our wedding supported the protection of the rolling pastures, tall oak trees, and beautiful mountains that made our day so memorable.” — Chris & Katey Coxen

Ceremony & Reception

Envision yourself and your memories becoming a part of this place. Imagine quiet and peace during your outdoor ceremony, followed by laughter and music at night among the fireflies… Views of Mt. Pisgah and the Newfound Mountains frame the scene. Wildflowers fill the fields in summer, and surrounding mountains burst with maroon and orange hues in the fall.

  • Savor stunning 360-degree rolling pasture and mountain views
  • Enjoy the company of friends and family on the reception patio and deck
  • Refresh and relax in the beautifully updated farmhouse

We have created a space to make you feel at home — you may never want to leave!

We are updating our wedding packages and pricing!
