Another successful and wonderful Barn Tour Day!! Our 11th annual one and the second time at the Smith Farm at the Bailey Mountain Preserve. Taylor Barnhill led the tours-- one before lunch and the other after lunch. Roger Howell, an award-winning fiddler who grew up and still lives near the propery, entertained the attendees during the lunch hour. Thanks to all who attended to help with our latest project-- the renovate the 1940's farmhouse on the Smith Farm.

Thanks for the photos go to Woody Eisenberg, a super supporter, who will sponsor a barn photo workshop on November 6 & 7. For information, send an email to [email protected]

Volunteer leaders from the Asheville Sierra Club, in the Inspiring Connections Outdoors (ICO) program brought seventeen teens from a Buncombe County Community Center program to the Smith Farm for a visit. After a short tour with Taylor Barnhill, the students hiked the green trail up the mountain. We had a great time with a great group of interested young people and their adult volunteers.

6th Annual Art Gala

The ABA is just 4 weeks away from the launch of our major fundraising project to raise money to renovate the farmhouse at the Smith Farm on the Bailey Mountain Preserve in Mars Hill. This is the “icing on the cake” for the public park which celebrates the heritage of western North Carolina barns and farms. Many of you have watched as we have renovated or reconstructed the barns there. Now we want to tie it all together with a Welcome / Discovery Center with exhibits about the lower Smith Farm—the barns as well as the ecology.
The 6th Annual Art Pastoral Palette Benefit will be Friday, May 22nd and Saturday, May 23rd. Great fun both days. The Friday evening ticketed event offers samplings of food and background music by Abbey Winters. Enjoy savory offerings plus sweets as well as complimentary wine and beer choices while mingling with the artists who will have several of their paintings for sale. The Friday evening gala (casual dress) is from 5:30pm to 8pm. On Saturday, May 31st, the event continues free and open to the public with an opportunity to purchase the artists’ works from 11am to 3pm. The event will be at the historic Ivy Building on the A-B Tech campus at 10 Genevieve Circle just off Victoria Road.
