This is one of our favorite hikes in the area. It's an easy-moderate 1 mile hike from the ridge top down to Linville River and then 1 mile return. Awesome for scenic views, rock hopping, and swimming. We will share details about meet up location, etc. once we're closer to the date. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/north-carolina/bynum-bluff-to-the-linville-river

A chance to see NikiAnne and Farmer's home and neighborhood within Earthaven Ecovillage. Please park tightly near the barn. Snacks will be provided.
1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Earthaven Ecovillage is where NikiAnne and Chris met 15 years ago and where they call home. Its mission is to create “a living laboratory and educational seed bank for a sustainable human future.” Earthaven is home to about 100 people who seek to become empowered, responsible, ecologically literate citizens, modeling a bioregionally appropriate culture and valuing sustainable ecological systems, elegant simplicity, right livelihood, and healthy social relations. If you're interested to check out the village and learn a little bit more of what's going on in this beautiful, crazy place, consider taking a walking tour with Sara, one of Earthaven's trained tour guides (who happens to be a dear friend as well). Meet at Visitor Kiosk in the middle of Earthaven. Follow signs for Tour Parking.
