Legacy Valley is a multigenerational, no-spray, family farm focused on clean farming practices and rotational grazing principles. We strive to grow food in systems that are better for the environment and for our bodies. Growing clean food from the soil up matters to us.
As we began to learn more about our food and how it was raised and grown, it changed our thinking behind it. We started to consciously think about all that goes into what we eat and how we steward the land. We realized if we started to care about these things and share about them, others might care too.
Legacy Valley is a jointly-owned 14-acre farm just outside Asheville, North Carolina. The farm is owned by Daniel and Danielle Edwards and Michelle and Dave Cole (Danielle’s parents) since 2018. We have been planting and growing berries, as well as, managing our herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats. Our hope is to expand our farm using methods that are free from chemicals, hormones, and pesticides. This food will be for our family and community.
WHAT WE OFFER- Nigerian Dwarf Goats and U-Pick Berries
Nigerian Dwarf Goats
We also specialize in ADGA Registered Nigerian Dwarf Goats. Our performance herd is bred for its milk production, parasite resistance, and body structure. When choosing our herd; Linear Appraisal Score, parental genetics, milk test results, udder formation, and temperament were important for each goat on our farm. We participate in DHIR (Dairy Herd Improvement Registry) which requires milk testing for 240 days of lactation. All this to say, the quality of our Nigerian Dwarf Goats is extremely valuable to us at Legacy Valley!
U-Pick Berries
We currently have 5 varieties of blueberries planted in our field. To learn more about each variety check out our U-Pick Schedule page. In spring of 2022 we planted an additional 1000 blueberry plants, 400 Von thornless blackberry plants and 400 feet of Double Gold raspberries. As these ripen we will open U-Pick season.
