In May of 2021 ‘husband and wife Cassandra & Brian Bradley closed on
the junk-ridden former grounds of a commercial nursery after a decade-long wish to have landed in the NC mountains. (They closed on the land not-so-coincidentally, on the couple’s 9th wedding anniversary)
WILDHAVEN is meant to bring their mutual love of the outdoors and restoration/conservation together in one lil’ forest. With space for Cass to create art and host women’s retreats (Cass has been a professional photographer and entrepreneur for over a decade) and Brian’s passion for mountain biking and trail building and creating a home for fluffy animals and growing things (stay tuned!)
WILDHAVEN is an ever-evolving work-in-progress.. you can see our progress here: (link to journal)

About Us
The Owners
WILDHAVEN Farm & Forest retreat is an active land rejuvenation and micro-farm located in a 30-acre forest perfectly situated in heart of Western
North Carolina’s
Blue Ridge Mountains. The project was created by Cassandra and Brian Bradley to fulfill a long-time dream of land ownership, land conservation, and personal lifestyle fulfillment.
In the Summer of 2022, they will welcome others who appreciate 30 feral acres of forest complete with a pond, fireflies, starlight, mountains, wildflowers, and a not-so-rustic wilderness experience.
Through a combination of glamping stay offerings, intimate workshops, retreats, and other private events they will utilize all proceeds towards land regeneration & conservation efforts as well as a portion to The High Country Trails Alliance. (their non-profit organization)

What is WILDHAVEN?
The first ‘exhale’ when stepping out of city traffic into our mountain-surrounded forest is surely a form of magic
The payoff of planting 2000 flower bulbs and 25 pounds of wildflower seeds is better than any Christmas morning
Being good stewards of the land means to clean up, restoration and ongoing maintenance in hopes of increasing our native species (both plant and animal) and having our work live long beyond us
Being able to ride a mountain bike down the front driveway directly into the Pisgah National forest is at least one man’s version of heaven
You have not been truly surprised in this life until you hear the calls of a whippoorwill at 5 am for the first time.
That everyone who visits our farm should experience at least one moment of child-like wonder
Our farm will likely always be a work in progress…just like us.
Money can’t buy you happiness but it can get you a stay at WILDHAVEN…and we think that is pretty darn close.
WE BELIEVE:
