Play Through the Mountains: A Day in Fairview
Fairview trades the city for farm country just twenty minutes southeast, and during Biltmore Championship Asheville Week, it makes an easy escape into the quiet.
Out here the roads wind past pastures and family farms, and the pace slows the moment you arrive. A handful of farm stores, markets, and studios keep the day simple: good food close to the source, a little art, and a lot of open sky.
Morning | Coffee on the Porch
Start at Trout Lily Market, a corner deli and grocery where you can order a made-to-order sandwich or a coffee and take it out to the front porch. Stock up on local goods while you are there.
Midday | The Farm Itself
Head towards Hickory Nut Gap Farm, a family farm and butchery where the grounds are open for a picnic, a walk, and a visit with the grazing animals. The timing could not be better: the farm kicks off its fall season on September 20 with hayrides, pumpkins, fresh-pressed apple cider, and unbeatable mountain views, right in the middle of championship week.
Afternoon | Farm Stands and Studios
Round out the day at a roadside farm stand like Flying Cloud Farm, and if the timing lines up, stop into Re.imagine Gallery & Studios for locally made art.
