Visit Happy Valley Orchard & Fig Farmstead 
by Appointment Only
Here in Candler, nextdoor to Asheville in Buncombe County NC, we bring European flavors and aromas of the Mediterranean to the Mountains.  We specialize in Figs but also grow Olives, various Citrus, Paw paw, Persimmon, Blueberry, Aronia, Pears, Peaches, Elderberry, Mulberry, Hardy Kiwi, and enough delicious Raspberries to keep anyone happy.  In addition to fruits we also grow a wide variety of herbs and vegetables.  Give us a call to see what's available if you're interested.  We always have Figs plants available, but the vegetable starts and flowers change so often it's hard to keep track of.  Fresh fruit is picked seasonally and sold on Thursdays at the Enka-Candler Tailgate Market at AB Tech and sometimes at the WNC Farmers Market on Brevard Rd, Asheville.  Contact us in advance to get some directly from the Farm!  From Norway to Italy, our influences are European like our ancestors!  Come see our North Carolina Mountain Citrus Grove and Olive trees then pick some Figs or Raspberries.

Brew, Bake & Grow it at Home!!  One day our fermentations will have a proper brick & mortar home. Until then, enjoy pictures of our baked Sourdough eats and treats.

Sorry Gluten Gluttons, the Carb King has absolutely NO Breads, Pizza, or fermentations available for sale until we have a commercial kitchen.  Keep dreaming.
