Wildhaven NC

Wildhaven NC A 30-acre micro-farm & forest retreat in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

Distinctive stays, thoughtful gatherings & experiences that leave you feeling a little more alive. In May of 2021, my husband Brian and I finally realized our decade-long dream of owning a piece of land in the NC mountains. We closed the deal on a once-junk-ridden commercial nursery, marking the occasion (not-so-coincidentally) on our 9th wedding anniversary. WILDHAVEN represents the culmination o

f our shared passion for the outdoors and restoration/conservation efforts. It's our little forest oasis where I, Cassandra, can unleash my creativity through art and host women's retreats. Having been a professional photographer and entrepreneur for over a decade, this venture feels like a natural extension of my journey. Combined with Brian's enthusiasm for mountain biking, trail building (and hopes for a sanctuary of fluffy animals and growing things) Wildhaven is a forever work-in-progress...just like us.

Sometimes it takes someone else seeing what you’ve been building to remind you what you've been trying to create all along.
Jen, you got it. Thank you for experiencing Wildhaven so fully — and for telling the story so beautifully.
“Unexpected elegance meets the wild.” I think she may have just put words to something we’ve been trying hard to explain💗💗

Listen, You may be ready for flannel. Our teeny farm has other plans.

We spent most of spring and summer building a new bathhouse, wellness courtyard and two tiny sleeping cottages, which turns out is not particularly conducive to getting things planted on time.🫣

We finally got things in the ground, and then the weird cold mountain nights stuck around and our flowers basically said, “Nope. We’ll wait.”

Well. Apparently they’re ready now.

Suddenly we have some flowers and lots of potted herbs, the chickens are doing their thing, and we have more Unagi cucumbers than two people have any business trying to eat.

So, we finally have some things for you!

**This week:** specialty cut flowers • potted herbs • Unagi cucumbers • rainbow chicky eggs • fall-planted native perennials

You can order from us directly and pick up here at the farm in Jonas Ridge, or find us again (finally!) on the **High Country Food Hub**. If you don’t know the Food Hub, it’s basically one online shop where you can buy from a whole bunch of local High Country farms and producers at once. And you should know about it! B/c its amazing.

**Shop our Food Hub page:**

**For farm pickup:** just comment below or email [[email protected]]. and we’ll arrange a time.

Apparently the land does not care that you’re ready for sweater weather. And maybe it has a point. There’s still plenty of summer worth bringing home. (Hint hint)

We’ve been keeping a few secrets. But we’re done keeping them.

Over the past year, Wildhaven has continued to evolve…thoughtfully.

There are now tiny storybook sleeping cottages tucked into the forest and meadow. (And of course, our darling Airstream Cottage)

A new, truly wildhaven, bathhouse.
A wellness courtyard.
Swings hidden in the woods.
Flower fields
Little waterfalls you have to go looking for.
Gardens, wildflowers, fire, and plenty of places we’ve deliberately left a little wild.

Some of it is new. Some of it has been here all along.

And all of it is ready to be discovered.

Wildhaven is officially open for an intentional number of intimate stays.

Hemlock Cottage.
Dogwood Cottage.
The Little Lily.

Three very different ways to stay here, with the rest of Wildhaven waiting outside your door.

We’ll be sharing much more about each of them over the next couple of weeks.
But you don’t have to wait for us.
Stays are open now. Come see for yourself

Extraordinary evenings are created by extraordinary people.

As I look around at this year's Wildfire, I'm reminded that evenings like this don't begin when guests arrive.

They begin months—and sometimes years—earlier.

They begin with farmers caring for the land. With heirloom grains being milled. With vines growing through another High Country season. With a chef walking the forests in search of wild ingredients. With countless thoughtful decisions made by people who have devoted themselves to their craft.

One of my favorite parts of Wildfire has always been bringing these incredible people together around the table.

This year's dinner is a celebration of North Carolina—from the High Country to the coast—and of the people who grow, forage, craft, prepare, and share the very best our state has to offer.

I'm deeply grateful to each of them for saying yes to this evening, and to all of you who continue to support these gatherings.

At Wildhaven, Brian and I simply have the privilege of creating the place where these stories meet—where conversations linger, strangers become friends, and an unforgettable meal becomes something even more meaningful.

I can't wait to gather around the table with all of you this Saturday...and again in September.

**Last night was called our ‘Summer Preview’ -but between dinner, laughter, and watching the light fade through the trees, it started to feel a lot more like a housewarming.**

Not because Wildhaven is new.

But because this next chapter is.

It was a table filled with people who’ve helped shape Wildhaven over the years.

Some built stone swim platforms . Some planted flowers. Some believed in what Wildhaven could become long before there was much to see. (And some even showed up in the eleventh hour with a Shop-Vac and cleaning supplies when our plans for a cleaner to help get the place ready fell apart the day before everyone arrived.)

Before sharing this next chapter of Wildhaven with more people, it felt right to gather the people who’ve quietly helped write it.

We shared a very simple summer meal, added a few touches from the farm, watched the light fade through the trees, and lingered around the table for a bit after dinner was over. There was laughter, stories, and the kind of evening that reminds us why we started this in the first place.

Wildhaven hasn’t become something different.

It’s simply becoming more of what we’ve always imagined—adding new places to rest, new ways to reconnect, and a little more room for wonder, connection, and ease.

…we plan to introduce you to those spaces this week and then welcome guest for the season🥰
