Things to do:
Our farm is located in an area that was badly hit by Hurricane Helene. Thankfully, we did not suffer much damage on the farm other than a number of downed trees. However, most of the areas that our visitors like to go explore have been seriously impacted, particularly Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Many businesses are okay and open, but many are still recovering, and many of our favorites have been lost.
Though our area could really use visitors to support the businesses that are open, please keep in mind that conditions are not what they used to be and some places are not open to the public. The list below may have changes from time to time, so please check with us if you have a specific place you are interested in visiting when you come and stay with us so we can confirm if they are open. Thank you for your support!
