HomeGrown HideAways HomeGrown HideAways is a farm, lodging, and event facility nestled in a hundred-acre holler in the Appalachian foothills near Berea, Ky.
(361)

Our lodging features treehouses, yurts, a vintage camper, and campsites. We also host weddings and other events. We love sharing our beautiful farm and hope you enjoy it as much as we do! HomeGrown HideAways is available for campouts, weddings, reunions, fundraisers, retreats, workshops, and parties. Mission: to welcome visitors from all over the world to gather together in a natural environment where they can unplug from devices and reconnect with one another to exchange ideas, knowledge, culture, and food. Vision: to build bridges and smash stereotypes in order to create a global community that values diversity in all its forms. Lodging includes everything from primitive campsites to treehouses, yurts, vintage campers, and more! Group camping is a popular option and lodging is included with our Glamping Package for weddings. We have a stage and large, covered pavilion. The farm's bath house is open from April through October and features 4 flush toilets and 2 solar-heated showers. There is also a solar-powered event facility equipped with a telephone and kitchen appliances that are available for guests to use. When available, we stock the fridge with our farm-fresh eggs and produce. The farm has a steep and rugged 1.5 mile hiking trail, but we’re also just 8 miles from the Berea Pinnacles. If you’re interested in paddling Owsley Fork Reservoir, our friends down the road at Get Outside Ky rent canoes and kayaks. We are only 20 minutes from Berea, the Arts & Crafts Capital of Ky., where you can usually find workshops and demonstrations of all kinds. We do not have tv, internet, or cell reception. There are as many stars as there are bugs so come prepared for both, but we ask that you leave your pets at home. To book your stay, please visit us at www.HomeGrownHideAways.org or message us if you'd like to plan an event.

Evolution of a garden over 15 years.

The first pic is from 2011 when the space in front of our house was just a grass pit that had previously been home to an above-ground swimming pool (based on the circular indentation and electric post). Notice the giant rock that continues to hold court through all the upgrades.

The 2nd photo collage is from 2016 after the garden had grown to fill the whole space and needed a fence to keep the dogs out. I think this is the first year we planted garlic.

The last photo is a bird's eye view of the current set-up which is mostly raised beds (minus the asparagus patch) and pathways that are wide enough for garden carts and wheelchairs.

The garlic has moved across the creek and we're prepping it to plant next week if anyone wants to peep our process and lend a hand.

We greatly enjoyed hosting the Riparian Buffer workshop portion of the Kentucky Waterways Alliance Ky Watershed Summit. There were representatives from Kentucky Watershed Watch, Healing Habitats, Grow Appalachia, Livelihoods Knowledge Exchange Network, Organic Association of Kentucky, RK&K, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, Berea College, Kentucky Department of Agriculture, and Kentucky Division of Forestry.

If you work for an organization that could make use of a living classroom, we LOVE hosting educational workshops, classes, and events. We're also available for board retreats, team-building activities, fundraisers, and other community gatherings. Holiday party season is also just around the corner if you need private event space for celebrating with friends and family.

The mornings are a mix of fog and color these days.
