We couldn’t be happier to celebrate our friend and partner, Bass Hyatt, on his induction into the WNC Agricultural Hall of Fame!
A 5th generation farmer from Brasstown, NC, Bass’s family has been raising cattle since 1890. He and his wife, Sandra, became some of Hickory Nut Gap’s very first partner farmers back in 2006. From the moment Jamie met Bass, he’s valued the friendship, mentorship, and wisdom that Bass has generously shared.
Beyond his farm, Bass has spent decades championing soil health, water quality, and regenerative grazing practices across Western NC and beyond—leaving a lasting mark on the farming community.
We are so proud to know Bass, and we’re thrilled to see his lifetime of dedication and stewardship recognized in such a meaningful way.

Oh, fall—how we love you! As the leaves turn brilliant shades and the air grows crisp, a sense of nostalgia settles in. And with the season comes one of our favorite traditions: Fall Festivities at the farm!
Starting September 20th, join us every Saturday and Sunday for donation-based hayrides and pony rides, hosted by @projecthng. By mid-September, the farm will be stocked with local apples, pumpkins, and fresh-pressed apple cider.
Bring the whole family and explore the Trike Track, Sound Silo, corn hole, tetherball, and more. Visit the pigs, chicks, and bee observatory, or grab a classic hot dog fresh off the roller. Plus, don’t miss our lineup of special fall events throughout the season, from barn dances to our annual Sausage Festival.
Make plans to celebrate the season with us—visit the link in our bio to plan your trip!
