Our 2025 Annual Farmers Meeting was a success! Each year, we bring together our network of farmer partners and our staff for a full day of discussions on sustainable farming, advancements in regenerative agriculture, and plans for the year ahead. We held our breath watching the forecast—after all, last year’s meeting was canceled when it coincided with Hurricane Helene—but the weather cooperated this time.
This year’s two-day gathering kicked off with a full day of presentations, a panel discussion, and a lively social hour. The evening wrapped up with some unforgettable karaoke performances. On day two, Virginia led a farm tour.
A big thank-you to @highlandbrewing for hosting us in their beautiful event space—and to everyone who joined us to make it such a memorable event.

We couldn`t be more excited for our friends at @cornerkitchenavl, who are re-opening in just a few days! Ten months ago, Hurricane Helene ripped through Western North Carolina, and our beloved Biltmore Village was among the areas hit hardest in Asheville.
This coming Monday, August 11th, Corner Kitchen will re-open after a long journey of cleanup, rebuilding, and remodeling. It’s been truly inspiring to watch their progress and follow along as they’ve brought their cherished space back to life.
Be sure to visit them—and check out HNG chorizo, breakfast sausage, and beef cheeks on the menu next week!

Come MEAT us this week at the @hngfarmstore! (Sorry, we had to).
We’re so proud of our team—hardworking butchers, farmers, managers, and retail associates—that calling them “multi-talented” barely scratches the surface.
At the Farm Store, you’ll find an array of our 100% grassfed beef, pasture raised pork, and pasture raised chicken—meat raised the right way, with no antibiotics, no added hormones, and definitely no mystery.
But it’s not just a meat-lover’s paradise. Our fridges are packed with local cheeses, cold drinks, and grab-and-go snacks. Shelves are lined with chips, chocolates, jams, pickles, and pantry staples you didn’t plan to buy—but absolutely need now.
Oh, and we’ve got a fresh new line of apparel we’re pretty excited about, too.
Need a picnic spread? Something for the grill? A bottle of wine and a meat stick for emotional support? We’ve got you.
Swing by—we’d love to see you! Don’t forget to bring a cooler (and the kiddos, too!). Open Wednesday–Sunday from 10–6, just 20 minutes from Downtown Asheville.

Big summer action is in full swing on the farm! Our farmers have their hands full with managing the planned grazing of our cattle herd, welcoming new gilts, boars, and plenty of piglets to our farrowing operation, tending two flocks of turkeys, rotating pasture raised chickens in their mobile coops, and processing chickens on site.
This season is as busy as it gets—rivaled only by the approaching fall agritourism season. The summer heat doesn’t slow our talented Home Farm team down (though a quick break to pet the barn cats is always welcome 🐱). We’re so grateful for the hard work and heart they put into everything they do!
