Whether you're visiting for a girls' getaway, a romantic weekend, or a solo retreat, here are the top 10 things to do during your stay at FBRF:

1. Cozy Up in One of Our Luxury Farm Stays

Let’s start with the obvious: our dreamy accommodations. With mountain views, plush bedding, and thoughtful touches in every corner, your home away from home is part of the experience. Pour a cup of locally roasted coffee, step out onto your porch and breathe in the peace at our luxury airbnb vacation rental near Asheville, NC. The sights and sounds of the roaring French Broad River are a tranquil and relaxing setting for those looking to unplug and unwind.

2. Get Hands-On with Farm Animals

Our friendly goats, chickens, and other fuzzy friends are always ready for a visit. Whether you're feeding, petting, or just snapping selfies with them, you'll be surprised how quickly they steal your heart (and maybe your snack).

3. Stroll the Scenic Trails

Meander through our wooded paths and open fields, where every turn offers a view worth remembering. Our trails are beginner-friendly and soul-soothing, especially during golden hour.

4. Have a Custom Picnic by Asheville Luxury Picnics and Chef Christian Albrecht with Braised and Confit

Put on your sundress and head down to the farm where we'll handle all the details for a intimate gathering for two or a party for you and all of your favorite people.. The sound of rushing water, dappled sunlight through the trees, and maybe a goat in the distance? Pure magic.

5. Unwind in a Hammock

Yes, doing nothing makes the list. Because when was the last time you gave yourself permission to just swing, sip a cold drink and doze off to the sound of birds?

6. Take a Farm-to-Table Cooking Class (or Host a Private Dinner)

Elevate your stay with a farm-inspired culinary experience. We offer seasonal events, workshops, and the occasional private chef night—because good food tastes better when it’s rooted in local love.

8. Catch a Sunset You’ll Never Forget

We’re talking watercolor skies and rolling hills in every direction. Whether you’re on the porch, by the firepit, or wandering a trail, sunset at FBRF is a must-see.

9. Snag Artisan Goods from the Farm Shop

Take home the goodness with handcrafted goat milk soap, honey from our bees, and other small-batch items made right here on the farm.

10. Make Memories That Stick
