Kapstone Farm

Come in!  Glad you've dropped by our general store.  Here's a little bit about us...

​

We are a large family homestead retreat nestled in an Appalachian mountain holler of  500+ glorious acres just outside of Asheville, N.C.  

​

A desire to live off of the land and to work with our hands birthed a vision to offer a place of soulful rest - what we have learned to call a 'whole person retreat'.  In our neediness, we tried this on ourselves first and uncovered a life-giving rhythm of work, rest and play. There is always too much to do.  The overcoming is to celebrate what we get to do, hour by hour.  That is enough. 

​

After living the whole person retreat for more than a decade, we find ourselves with a variety of highly imperfect, worship-filled skills, ideas and goods. 
 

Somewhere along the way, a longing grew to share from our abundance and the vision of Kapstone Farm General Store came into view.  

​

Inspiration is all around us in the beauty and diversity of creation, from animal husbandry to gardening; from foraging to hunting; and from crafting with our hands to outdoor recreation. 

​

Local and regional artisans have inspired us to practice wood working, metal working, pottery, fiber arts, painting/sketching, and more.  On the homestead, we also explore crafting dairy products, charcuterie, fermentation, preservation, old-world artisan bread, herbal medicines, salves and soaps.  

​

Our heart is to make friends both near and far by sharing in the richness, biodiversity and spirit-filled community we are blessed to call home.  

​

By His mercy and grace,

​

The Kapitans
