Farming in the Swannanoa Valley since 1894

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

joined a volunteer crew from Warren Wilson College to pick potatoes at Jasperwood Farm for Bounty & Soul food bank. Farmer Anthony Cole runs a diversified farm with crops grown year-round including Xmas trees, lamb, and tobacco. He grows potatoes and cabbages every year to feed food-insecure folks in the greater Asheville area. Stone soup, anyone?

the conversation is much more complex than conventional vs organic vs regenerative. is the food being grown actually feeding the hungry masses? Before Hurricane Helene Bounty & Soul served about 13,000 a month. That number doubled after Helene to 26,000 a month.

When we say we know a spot, this is what we mean.

Spots where students can learn by doing, whether that’s in our Sound Lab, where students can record podcasts and music, or on the athletics field, where they can overcome challenges and work together.

No matter what you are passionate about, you can find your spot at Warren Wilson.

In collaboration with WWC Art & Craft Department, BOOM BOOM BARNS will activate 5 acres of beautiful and historic barnscape as stages, projection surfaces and installation spaces. At sunset (5:28pm) we will illuminate them with a sunset surprise multimedia light show for the people.

Together, we will look, listen, move, taste, and feel, as we participate in a temporal study of the landscape. We are teaming up with many community friends and neighbors to bring you another ambient farm stroll and we invite you to join us as we rotationally graze the atmospheric fields.

BOOM BOOM BARNS draws inspiration from: tractor square dances, the dawn chorus, corn, Cornbread, tree dialects, spider webs, circular drift, geologic time, straw bales, boom boxes, chill hours, sweet potatoes, cows, mycelial music, vernacular architecture, plant growth, animal health, seasonal shifts, agri-CULTURAL practices, invisible circuses, turf mazes, the climate of sight, time streams, honeybee communication, spectral geographies, resonant frequencies, vibrational tendencies, bird’s eye views, bat ecosystems and our ever changing landscape.
