Overview

Tucked in the quiet valley of Turkey Creek, surrounded by the mountains of Western North Carolina, lies Montgomery Sky Farm—50 acres of purpose, passion, and possibility. Open to visitors by appointment only, Montgomery Sky Farm was founded by Executive Chef Taylor Montgomery and his wife Fran—a living expression of intentional living—where regenerative farming, private dining experiences, animal rescue, and rehabilitation all intersect to honor the land and those who share it. Chef Montgomery's ticketed chef's table dinners showcase the seasonality of what's going on—and growing on—the farm, featuring harvest elements and community-style seating at large farm tables.
