If you’re ready for a beautiful escape to the country, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery at a place famous for absolutely delicious food, then we have your perfect weekend destination. Welcome to Hickory Nut Gap Farm.

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Continental Divide in Western North Carolina, Hickory Nut Gap Farm sits in a picturesque spot in the aptly named town of Fairview. About halfway between Asheville and Lake Lure, this is a perfect stop for a scenic road trip or even a great place just to spend the day.

The first stop has to be the Farm Store. Here you can pick up some of the same amazing items you’ll find on the shelves at Ingles Markets, along with some other mouth-watering delights and take-home items you won’t want to miss. Put your groceries from home together with some shopping at the Farm Store, and you’ll have a delicious picnic for the day.

The nearby barn is the perfect place to set up a farm-style charcuterie board, relax, and enjoy some amazing food. That amazing food is the result of generations of practice. Jamie and Amy Ager’s family has been farming this land for more than a hundred years, and those decades of experience are bolstered by regenerative agriculture and ethical animal welfare practices that produces the highest-quality, best-tasting meats to ensure we all thrive from the ground up.

If you’ve ever been curious about experiencing the operations of a working farm, this is the perfect place to do it. You can book your farm tour online. These people are so nice and friendly, and you get real insight into how this successful business is thriving and producing in the best ways possible.

Other attractions include the creek, seeing the baby chicks and resident pigs, and the surrounding landscape that is the perfect backdrop for outdoor enjoyment or impromptu photos.
