Ivy Creek Family Farm
-
Ivy Creek Family Farm is an established and thriving farm, growing vegetables, mushrooms, berries, and flowers using sustainable practices. We utilize crop rotation, cover cropping, composting, and other organic methods to produce high quality, seasonal produce. Our farm sits on 38 acres bordering the north fork of the Ivy River in Barnardsville, just 25 minutes north of Asheville. We farm on 7 tillable acres–3 of our own and 4 leased from a neighbor. We’ve been steadily farming and improving this land for the past 10 years with our crew. Our team consists of four to five apprentices and one crew leader, plus ourselves. We host weekly yoga classes, 4-8 weddings annually, monthly square dances and more. We’re professional farmers and we pay a mortgage, secure our health insurance, buy the essentials, and hopefully save a little bit for the future through our farming business.

“I am a loyal customer of Ivy Creek Farm. They work so hard! I’m very impressed with the quality of their vegetables and with their ability to have such an extended season. Anna and Paul have a strong commitment to economic and ecological sustainability. I also love that they work hard to build community in Barnardsville. They graciously allow me to keep bees on their land and host square dances! Great farm!”
