The Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and North Carolina are lush and fertile, and the sheltered valleys and huge, open expanses are dotted with generations-old farmhouses and lands. Families grow colder-weather fruits and vegetables and raise cattle, horses, goats, chickens, llamas, bees, and much more.

Staying in a working or converted farmhouses offers a unique experience for visitors to the Blue Ridge. Visitors can relax in the quiet and wander the breathtaking landscape, and in some cases they can experience the farming lifestyle by viewing or even participating in working Blue Ridge Mountains farms.
