HIGHGATE FARM
About Highgate Farm
Highgate Farm is a four season market garden located in the scenic Walnut Mountains of Madison County NC, just outside of Marshall. Our business model is inspired by the traditional French Market Garden, with great attention to detail, supplying a broad selection of high quality and specialty vegetables, herbs, and fruits to area tailgate markets, CSA members, and chefs. We aim to share our products and our great love of food, to inspire the preparation of healthy, delicious meals. As a small scale produce farm, our practices are regenerative and go beyond National Organic standards. We employ small tractors, hand tools, drip irrigation, a propagation house where we start almost all our own plants, caterpillar tunnels, spun row covers, locally sourced organic inputs and integrated pest management (IPM). Our main source of fertilizer and organic matter arrive in the form of goat manure from a local dairy. We employ local farm workers, and strive to provide them a living wage. Find our beautiful produce year-round at tailgate markets in Asheville, West Asheville and Black Mountain, with CSA pick-up at those locations and on the farm in Marshall.
