SUMMARY:2026 Spring Farm Tour
DESCRIPTION:This Event is Sold-Out \nThere is something about a lamb that stops people in their tracks. Come find out why. \nWinding Stair Mountain Farm is a living\, working farm twelve miles west of Franklin\, and for a morning or an afternoon this spring\, it is yours to explore. Meet our newest baby lambs\, the fearless Mama Peaches who guards them\, and a cast of characters that includes Sylvester the goose\, Icelandic sheep\, heritage chickens\, guinea hens\, and a flock of turkeys with strong opinions. Then watch as we fire up our hand-built\, traditional water-powered grain mill — a working reconstruction built the old way — and grind the organic corn grits and polenta you may have already spotted at our nursery on Saunders Road. \nWhat You’ll Experience: \n\nBaby lambs and Icelandic sheep\, including Cocoa Bean — and the chance to feed them by hand\nMama Peaches\, our resident donkey and self-appointed guardian of the flock\nSylvester the goose\, heritage chickens\, free-roaming guinea hens\, and our heritage turkey flock\nA live demonstration of our 18-foot water-powered grain mill grinding organic corn into grits and polenta\nA tour of our mountain vegetable garden and the story of this Blue Ridge property\nA look at the archival history of land that began as a logging site and became a thriving sustainable farm\n\n\nBoth sessions are strictly limited to 20 guests. This is not a petting zoo or a staged experience — it is the real thing\, and it only happens once this spring. \nThis one is a good fit for families with young children\, anyone who grew up around farming and wants to feel that again\, and anyone curious about what real Appalachian land stewardship looks like up close. \nWinding Stair Campground Spring Farm Tour\nMay 2 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am\n\n10:00 am – 11:30 am (SOLD OUT)\n1:00 pm – 2:30 pm (SOLD OUT)\nAdults: $20 | Children under 10: $10 | Family Bundle available \nAbout Greg & Stacy: Stacy and Greg are the stewards of Winding Stair Mountain Farm — the hands behind the animals\, the mill\, and everything that makes this tour worth the drive. Their commitment to historic Appalachian building methods\, native plants\, and sustainable farming isn’t a program or a philosophy. It’s just how they live\, and how they’ve shaped this land. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Event is Sold-Out
