lettuce 007Red Wing Farm is a small farm in the Swannanoa Valley in the mountains of western North Carolina.

We grow heirloom vegetables using ecologically responsible and sustainable growing practices. We operate a diverse, four-season vegetable, herb, and flower garden, keep a small herd of dairy goats, and raise heritage breed chickens and ducks.

Red Wing Farm is committed to “deep organic” growing practices which far exceed organic standards.  Our vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruit are naturally grown with no herbicides, fungicides, chemical pesticides, or petrochemical fertilizers.

We cultivate, plant, and harvest from permanent raised beds by hand using human-powered and human-scale tools and practices (we do not use a tractor). We grow vegetables from seed and harvest year-round from our unheated hoophouse.

Our goats and poultry are loved and well-cared for, with plenty of access to pasture and browse, and fed organic feed and reclaimed spent grains from a local brewery.

We incorporate permaculture principles and biointensive practices into the design and management of our homestead and gardens. We begin with open-pollinated, heirloom seeds and are committed to preserving seed sovereignty and keeping food traditions alive.

We are stewards of five acres of river bottom land that we intend to preserve as farmland and wildlife habitat in perpetuity. We are committed to leaving the soil, water, and air healthier than we found them.
