Legacy Valley is a multigenerational 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.
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 for 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 raising pasture poultry for eggs and meat as well as growing berries. Our hope is to expand our farm using methods that are free from chemicals, hormones, and pesticides. This food would 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 305 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 which we hope will be ready for Asheville’s 2022 U-Pick season. Our property experienced flood damage from Tropical Storm Fred in August of 2021. It is unclear how this will impact our crop, however we are hopeful to have some opportunities to allow U-Pick. In spring of 2022 about 700 blueberry plants will be planted to grow more fruit for the following year.
