Happy Hens & Highlands Farm, nestled in the scenic mountains of Western North Carolina near Asheville, is a woman-owned business founded in 2014 by Emily Grace, a proud native of the region. The farm reflects her deep love and commitment to the animals she cares for.

​

The farm is home to a herd of Scottish Highlands and Scottish Highland crosses, who live naturally and harmoniously outdoors. With daily interaction, they are friendly and docile. The cattle are bred for registered breeding stock, show animals, and to help manage pastures on hobby farms.

​

What began as a small poultry operation focused on egg production soon blossomed into Emily's passion project. Though she initially planned to raise grass-fed beef, Emily transitioned to breeding AHCA registered Highland cattle. In addition to breeding, the farm is dedicated to rescuing unwanted or sick animals, rehabilitating them, and finding them loving homes.

​

The sales of farm merchandise play a crucial role in sustaining the farm, covering food and veterinary expenses for the animals.

 

Emily’s commitment to the animals is rooted in her belief that they are a gift from the Creator, and she is deeply grateful for each one.
