The Farm Heritage Trail begins at the offices of the Buncombe County Soil and Water Conservation District, 49 Mount Carmel Road. There visitors can pick up a map and other materials, including a children’s scavenger hunt. Those following the trail may choose to do the entire route (about two hours of driving) or select from one of three shorter loops for the Alexander, Newfound/Turkey Creek or Sandy Mush areas. Maps and materials can also be found at farmheritagetrail.org.
