General information
Where is Montgomery Sky Farm located?
Montgomery Sky Farm is located in Leicester, North Carolina, nestled in the Turkey Creek valley just outside of Asheville in the mountains of Western North Carolina. We are 20-25 minutes from downtown Asheville.
Is Montgomery Sky Farm open to the public?
Montgomery Sky Farm is a regenerative farm and nonprofit rehabilitation animal rescue. Due to the nature of being a working farm, visits are welcome and available by reservation only. All farm visitation bookings and dinner reservations can be made online.
Can I bring my dog to the farm?
We love dogs and appreciate how important they are to our guests. However, for the safety of our animals, guests, and working livestock guardian dogs, pets are not permitted on-site at Montgomery Sky Farm. We appreciate your understanding and help in protecting the wellbeing of all animals in our care.
Experiences + dining
What types of experiences do you offer?
We offer guided farm tours, creekside picnics, seed to plate dining at The Chef's Table, family-style private dinners, seasonal events, and private gatherings including weddings, celebrations, and corporate retreats.
Who prepares the food?
All culinary experiences are led by James Beard Award winning Chef Taylor Montgomery and Chef de Cuisine Cat Beraud, with menus guided by the farm's seasonal harvest. Our rare and endangered vegetable varieties are harvested from the earth the very day, or day of dining experiences-focusing on ultimate freshness and highlighting nutrient density.
What is seed to plate dining?
Seed to plate dining reflects our commitment to growing food from the ground up. Many ingredients served are grown on the farm, from preserved seeds to harvest, offering guests a direct connection between land and plate. Think about the last time ingredients were picked the same day and transformed into beautiful creations on a plate. No chemicals, synthetic fertilizers or plastics, ever.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. Dietary accommodations are available with advance notice, including but not limited to vegetarian, vegan and gluten free menus. Please include all dietary needs when booking your experience.
How many guests can you accommodate?
Farm events are intentionally limited to groups of up to 65 guests. If you are looking to accommodate more for a private event, please email us.
Is there a minimum guest count for picnics?
Yes. Our Farm Tour + Picnic Combo requires a minimum of two guests.
The market + online shopping
What is the market, and what are the hours?
Field & Creek is our on-property market, where we sell produce we have grown along with farm merchandise. Market hours vary seasonally. In 2026 the market is open most Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 2pm, with each month's days posted at the end of the prior month and on Instagram stories.
Can I shop online?
Yes. A curated selection of market items is available for purchase online, with limited quantities based on seasonal availability.
If I come shop the market, can I see any of the animals?
No. Farm tours are not offered from the market and need to be purchased and reserved in advance. Our animals live in sanctuary, which means we highly monitor their socialization and respect their space.
