| - I hesitate to write a review for Hickory Nut Gap Farm because I don't want too many people to find it! But as an astute Yelper I must do my duty and tell you that this place is the best.
We took a beautiful drive through the rolling hills between Hendersonville and Asheville a few Sundays ago to spend the day at the farm during their fall festival which took place every day during September and October. There was an admission fee but the experience was well worth the price.
The farm's location is beautiful. There are a number of areas to view all types of animals - cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys, and baby chicks. The barn is filled with activities - a super cool bike riding area, a rope swing, a tire swing, and an elevated goat walk. During September and October, there were pony rides for the kids, a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and food trucks selling delicious BBQ made from the farm's meat.
Finally, you must bring your cooler and some ice so you can stock up on delicious grass-fed and pastured beef, pork and chicken for great prices from the farm's store.
My husband, myself, and our two year old all had a blast and we would highly recommend a visit to the farm any time of year. They have an excellent website you can check out to find out what is happening on any given day. And most of the year there is no admission cost.
For those times when you can't make the trip to the farm, their beef is available at Whole Foods in Greenville as well as a number of locations around Asheville.
Support local, pastured animals, and support our local farms with a trip to Hickory Nut Gap!
