Valerie and the other folks on the property are warm, friendly & welcoming. Two baby goats were born while I was there. It was so fun watching them in their first days here on earth. They are adorable. Loved having the chickens around, too. It was great being serenaded to sleep by frogs and crickets and then waking up to lovely songbirds. The property is less than a 10 minute drive to downtown Asheville. So convenient! Photos are accurate. I hope to visit again someday soon.
