50 Acres of Purpose: Montgomery Sky Farm & Final Run Rescue

from From the Pasture with Hired Hand · host Hired Hand Website Software

Founded in 2018, Montgomery Sky Farm is 50 acres of purpose, passion, and possibility in Western North Carolina—an expression of intentional living where regenerative farming and private dining experiences come together to honor the land and the community around it. In this episode, we sit down with owners Taylor and Fran Montgomery to talk about the vision behind the farm and what it looks like to build something rooted in sustainability, care, and long-term stewardship.We also discuss their animal rehabilitation and rescue work through Final Run Rescue, and how second chances—whether for animals, people, or the soil beneath our feet—shape everything they do. Chef Taylor Montgomery, a James Beard Award Semifinalist (Best Chef: Southeast), shares how his culinary world connects back to the farm, and why they’re committed to pushing boundaries while staying grounded in purpose. As Taylor and Fran put it: you have to keep pushing, because the sky is limitless.Montgomery Sky Farm: https://www.montgomeryskyfarm.com/Final Run Rescue: https://www.finalrunrescue.org/Chef Taylor Montgomery: https://www.instagram.com/keeppushingchef/Send us Fan Mail From the Pasture with Hired Hand:Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): https://hiredhandsoftware.comHired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): https://hiredhandlive.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftwareTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsitesNewsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed
