In the next week or so, we will be making second -cutting 4x5 fescue hay rolls -- both horse quality and cow quality -- as well as a limited number of small square bales. Because of weddings and events here at the farm, we no longer store hay year-round -- so this is your chance to buy fresh cut hay in the field at a discount!

4x5 Rolls, Horse quality: $50-60, depending on quantity you take.

4x5 Rolls, Cow quality: $30-35, depending on quantity

Small Squares, Horse quality: $5-6, depending on quantity

We usually have cow quality rolls available year round, but this is your ONLY chance to buy horse quality hay before the spring, since we no longer store it.

Message us to reserve your quantities!

As ceremony music goes, you can't do better than our friends at Carolina Music Planner LLC . James and Kirsten had them not only for their ceremony (including a congregational hymn), but also for some more upbeat favorites during cocktail hour, and as accompaniment for their first dance: The Traditional Danish Bridal Waltz.

Part of the beauty of getting married on a historic farm are all of the beautiful canvases for your photographer. Our Corn Crib, an original 19th century structure and secluded from wedding guests, was the perfect spot with the perfect light for Amanda and Tyler's first look.

Chapter 5️⃣

1916: Our current farmhouse (the second on the property) was constructed -- most probably by son Thomas W. Goforth, the third Goforth generation. Today, it's a beautiful ongoing restoration -- with the front porch, one of the two bathrooms, and kitchen all restored in 2023. A perfect get-ready space for your bridal party. The porch is also perfect for first looks and family photos!

July 30, 1907: The South and Western Railroad Company, which became the legendary Clinchfield Railroad , begins construction across the western edge of the Oak Hill property. Today, some of the neatest spots on the farm are attributable to the railroad -- including this 1907 trestle.

If you come by the farmhouse to see us (and we hope you will), you're likely to be greeted by Chester. He'll be tolerant of your visit. But depending on what you bring him, he might just be your friend forever.

Important 2023 HAY SALES updates!

As our farm is now hosting more weddings & special events than ever, space for us to store hay has become challenging for us. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, our small square bales will ONLY be available out of the field at cutting time. We will not have any squares available “in the barn” during the remainder of the year, as we are using that space for events.

We do ask that square bale orders be placed and prepaid in advance. We will only be making the number of squares that we have preorders for. To reserve your hay, PM us, call or text 828-582-0320, or email [email protected]. Once those orders are filled, we will be baling the remainder of our hay fields in 4x5' rolls.

We DO discount small square bales “in the field” a bit – right now, they are going for $7 each, horse quality (fescue-orchard, typically 18x14x36", average 35-45 lbs).

We will be continuing to make and store a limited quantity of 4x5' horse-quality rolls throughout the course of the year. But, if quantity or a steady supply is a concern for you, "in the field" at cutting time is also the best way to buy our rolls.

If you need hay during a time where we don’t have it, we highly recommend Beam Farms and Co in Rutherford County, and they deliver. As a matter of fact, they buy some of our hay as part of their inventory.

To get advance notice of cutting day, sign up for our email list at https://bit.ly/oakhillhay .

Thank you for your years of business!

Chapter 2️⃣

Sadly, original farmowner Mr. N. Elliott passed away after just a few years of ownership, and the farm ended up in foreclosure. It was purchased at auction March 1, 1858 by John Evans Goforth, grandson of Revolutionary War hero Pvt. Preston Goforth. The Goforth family would be custodians of Oak Hill for more than 130 years, and are responsible for much of what you see today!

This guy right here. 33 years old, today, and still at it. Arabian Stallion, Kharnelian Bey ("Kharney" or "K.B.")

It has been our honor to have this horse as part our family for some 20 years. He is truly a testament to the performance, versatility, and longevity that *is* the Arabian horse, cornerstones which define our breeding program and our future.

Son of the famed Huckleberry Bey and by a daughter of the legendary Khemosabi, it just doesn't get any better than this classic bloodline.

Our Story

We invite you to experience the serene beauty and timeless charm of one of the Southeast's most historic and picturesque places, Oak Hill Farm. Located just 39 miles East of Asheville, and 70 miles North of Greenville / Spartanburg airport (GSP), Oak Hill Farm is both a destination venue and right down-the-road.

Situated on 267 sprawling acres, Oak Hill has been in continuous operation as a working farm since 1849. This historic jewel, noted by authors, historians, and railroad engineers, features beautiful views, rustic buildings, and incomparable settings to make lifelong memories. From the crest of Huntsville Mountain to the rippling waters of Glade Creek nearly 1000 feet below, you'll find miles of trails to ride, and breathtaking scenes to make timeless wedding photographs. In addition to hosting beautiful weddings and special occasions, we grow horse-quality hay, offer full-service horse boarding, host trail and arena riding, and breed legendary Arabian Horse bloodlines.
