• Hobbyknob is a small destination farmstead nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina, offering the perfect getaway to slow down and absorb the rhythm of nature and life on the farm. With a focus on regenerative practices, we raise Heritage sheep for conservation and wool; chickens for eggs, fertilizer and pest control; and llamas for fun and fiber. We also have a small herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats and crosses along with a Sebastopol goose for conservation and weedeating.

OUR CABIN

This two story log cabin was originally built in 1820 by Eli Reeves, an Indiana furniture maker. In the fall of 2015 it was moved log by log to our farm and was restored to feel like you stepped back in time but with very special touches. If these logs could talk!

Come experience this piece of history and make some memories of your own.
