Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Welcome to Little Farm - Swannanoa! We are Kiera and Mary Bulan and we run a community flower, vegetable and herb farm in Swannanoa, NC. You'll be staying on a vibrant working farm with your choice of campsite - under shade trees by the river, near a turtle pond, or out in a sunny meadow. In our 2-acre production field, you are welcome to wander through carefully tended rows of flowers, vegetables and herbs. Enjoy the mist on the mountains as you sip your morning tea surrounded by blooming snapdragons, marigolds and cosmos. We follow organic practices and regenerative, no-till methods, and are eager to share with other enthusiastic growers. We also maintain a ½ acre native pollinator planting that attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and other beneficial creatures all season long. The 6+ acre property contains multiple rich habitats for nature lovers and ecological explorers, nestled in a fertile river valley along the Swannanoa River. Search for frog eggs and baby ducks among the cattails in the swamp. Differentiate dozens of bird species along forest paths. Scan the river for kingfishers and spawning bass. Cast a line for catfish in the pond (just be alert for turtles!). We've been growing here since 2020 on a rented acre. After the property was heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene, we took a leap of faith and officially purchased the parcel in early 2026. Today, visitors can witness the inspiring, resilient restoration efforts of humans and nature at work - live stakes, riparian plantings, abundant bird life, and abundant new growth! Our location offers convenient access to Swannanoa, Black Mountain, and Asheville. *Women, Queer and BIPOC owned. All friends, new and old, are welcome!
