Weddings at the Farm
Experience the simple joy of this 140-acre farm, just a short drive from Asheville NC. Preserved farmland showcases harmony and romance — fulfilling your dream of the perfect wedding.
Each event hosted at the farm leaves a ripple of positive impact, helping to protect beautiful and ecologically important land for generations to come.
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
