Looking back a year. We have re-emerged as a nursery and hope to have an eclectic variety of misc. seed and or plants available this spring. I am old and slow now. Jake's Farm is a participating grower with NCSU in the specialty NC Alternative Crops & Organics Program and one focus is seeing how well we can produce and what can be done using plasticulture with Chinese Medicinal Herbs. I have no clue what they are used for but it's never too late to turn a new page. I recently got validation as a songwriter from none other than one of my heroes, Mary Gautier. There is a strange sort of peace that comes when the hurricane ends, and a fierce determination comes after.

Our Story

Established 1998. We practice growing organically. In addition to vegetables and fruit, we operate an airbnb and have welcomed over a thousand guests. One of our practices is using dogs for pest control, the alternative to thousands of dollars in fencing against deer and bears. This has cost us the wholesale branch of our farm as the food safety regulations were revamped in 2015 making this practice illegal. We are selling on Saturdays at the Asheville City Market, and on Thursdays at the New Candler Tailgate Market. In addition we supply several of our local herbalists with medicinal plants when we can. We hope to have dried herbs available over the ‘net’ soon, and can supply on request. We grow a lot of the natives, from jewelweed to nettles. Visitors are welcome by appointment. We are a very small farm now, although at one time we planted 22 acres. Growing old is a challenge.
