Our Story
The land that we now farm was originally settled by our ancestors in the early 1800s. We are not sure of the exact date of when the first Reeves family moved into Little Sandy Mush, but we do know that the house that we still live in was built in 1840 by Malachi Reeves. The farm had humble beginnings like most farms in the early 1900s providing just enough for the family to survive, but when the to***co boom came to western North Carolina Reeves Home Place Farm really took off. During the mid to late 1900s our small family farm became a large to***co producing farm that allowed our grandfather, Burder Reeves, to continue farming on the same land that his ancestors had farmed for generations.
We are currently the 7th generation to live and farm on the same land and we feel extremely blessed to be able to do so. When the demand for to***co dropped we were forced to think of other ways to keep the farm running, and one way we did that and continue to do so is by raising beef cattle. The farm always had cattle on it, but now we raise our Black Angus cattle in order to provide high quality meats to our customers. We also added some greenhouses and currently provide Ingles Markets with Upland Cress that we grow hydroponically. Our farm is always growing and trying new things in order to be able to keep farming, because for us being able to provide for our family and our community is the best thing that any farm can do.
This year, we converted the original farmhouse into a Bed & Breakfast. We have four (4) bedrooms that are located on the 2nd floor of the farm house and share a full bathroom which includes a shower, sink, toilet, and claw-footed tub. The main floor includes the parlor room, dining area, and half bath. Stay includes Appalachian Farm-to-Table Breakfast. We also offer farm workshops, floral designs, massage therapy, special events, tours, and yoga classes.
