ABOUT

AXEFORD FARM

Axeford is nestled on a tranquil 42 acre farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Guests enjoy access to the entire farm where they can walk and cycle on trails, dine under the stars, have picnics and sundowners, fish in the rivers and wade in pristine mountain water. Take a tour of the farm and see the pigs, cows, chickens, and goats performing their jobs while an observatory beehive allows for an up close view of miraculous bees in action.

Farmhouses are surrounded by gardens, orchards, streams and wildlife. They combine modern amenities with their historic 1920s depression era roots, and gracious southern hospitality,
