Hi! Lindsay and Matt West here. We are situated on a small, 33 acre forest farm in the Swannanoa mountains. We are just 8 miles from the heart of Asheville, 9 miles from Black Mountain, and 3 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our property is home to some of the most rare and beautiful wildflowers in the region, wildlife of all kinds, and a pottery studio. We are pet friendly, but we do ask that your furry friend stay on a leash/run for their safety. We have bears, snakes, coyotes, bees, the occasional stray piece of barbed wire from the cattle farmers who owned this land a century ago. We have mud, and we have flowers. It’s wild up here, and it’s also really beautiful. This is a working organic farm and studio space, so there will often be sounds of productivity during daytime hours. We often have plants for sale, as well as pottery, herbs, and other farm offerings.Come kick back and relax on a botanical sanctuary. You can set up camp in a small, shady field at the wood’s edge, surrounded by trees and woodland plants. We call this area the Turkey Pasture because the wild turkeys tend to gather here. There is a small spring that runs much of the year which makes it a gathering place for wildlife. We occasionally see bears, deer, turkeys, foxes, coyotes, flying squirrels, turtles, salamanders, butterflies and snakes. We have two cats, an old hound dog, and a flock of chickens, but they should all be up at our house and not at your camp site 🙂 There is a short path near the campsite with beds full of spring wildflowers, medicinal herbs and other special native plants. Please stay on the paths and please don’t pick anything. Many of the plants we grow take 7 years to make seeds. Others are more prolific. We love to talk plants so feel free to ask questions. ☺️ We do have some poison ivy (a plant that makes most people itchy, identified by its vining habit and three leaves) but we try to keep it out of the camp site. "Leaves of three let it be" they say. We will provide you with firewood. You’re also welcome to pick up sticks from mowed areas but please don’t go in the woods off trail. We have things growing even in areas that look completely wild. There's plenty of room for a few big tents. AWD/4wd isn't a must but if we have lots of rain it can get muddy. We aren't accepting tow-behind campers of any kind right now. https://bearwise.org/six-outdoor-bearwise-basics/
