Visit a Farm
Feeling the call of nature tugging at your mind? City-living can get exhausting with the constant commotion of people, cars and city noise. The best remedy is some fresh air in the country.
Just outside of Asheville, come pick berries, cut your own Christmas tree or experience farm life at one at these amazing Madison County venues. Some of our farms allow visitors to spend the night and get “hands-on” insight with the many chores of maintaining a farm.
“We had a lovely time. The owner is very friendly and very knowledgeable. The farm is gorgeous. The kids got to feed the fish in the pond, feed the sheep and collect eggs.”
