Located 21.7 miles from the High Country Food Hub

We are open daily for 1 1/2 hour organic farm tours and then spend the rest of the day sightseeing. Visitors leave awestruck at the diverse mix of flowers and crops that form a tapestry on our high mountain landscape. The beautiful open meadows face Roan Mountain and are easy to walk and picnic.

SKYe2 Farm was started in 2016 as a sustainable, organic and experimental farm. Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, asparagus, mints and a unique variety of edibles and herbs for teas are grown on this former Christmas tree site. Other plantings include hops, grapes, herbs, medicinal plants, fruit trees, nut trees and berry trees. Also, peony, gladiolas, chamomile, zinnias, poppy, sunflower, lavender, black eyed Susan and cone flowers are grown and are surrounded by wildflowers throughout the mountain top meadows.

In March 2021 we participated in Small Farms Week and had a farm video created by N.C. A&T Cooperative Extension. For video link requests, email gst.ocr@gmail.com. Also, two WNC AgOptions Grants have been received; one to subsidize the cost of electrical outlets and to other to expand our lavender production. Currently, we are working with NCRS to become a certified organic farm.

SKYe2 Farm is quite diverse and enjoys panoramic long-range mountain views. At over 4000’, we are the highest elevation, organic practicing farm on the East coast.
