Montgomery Sky Farm

About

Founded in 2018 by chef Taylor Montgomery and Fran Montgomery, Montgomery Sky Farm occupies fifty acres in the Turkey Creek valley at Leicester, North Carolina, and operates by reservation only. Its dining program centers on ticketed five-course harvest dinners seating sixteen to twenty-four at communal tables, with courses determined by what has been cut or dug that day from heirloom plantings raised without pesticides or synthetic fertilizer; a twelve-seat kitchen table running three evenings weekly, one seating each, is announced for 2027. The property also houses Final Run Rescue, a 501(c)(3) animal rehabilitation nonprofit directed by Fran Montgomery, which receives proceeds from tours, dinners, and the weekend Field & Creek Market. Montgomery received the James Beard award for Best Chef: Southeast in 2026.
