Mill Camp Farm
Our Story
The Jolley Family

In the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains,
just north of Boone North Carolina, lies Mill Camp Wines & Ciders. Inspired by the region's heritage, and by the beauty and simplicity of this friendly mountain community, our family planted a vineyard and orchard. We began crafting wines and ciders that capture the spirit of the Appalachians. We left our business careers behind for the beauty, peace and friendly atmosphere of this region and for a way to connect with creation and a healthier lifestyle. Now we want to share the same with you.

The Land
Local Family Farm

Mill Camp Farm sits on the site of an old Buffalo Trail which passed through this area years ago. Native Americans used this trail to hunt and follow bison through the mountains to the Atlantic. Later, the same trail was used by animal trappers to hunt and share camps on their expeditions.
Mill Camp is 15-20 minutes north of downtown Boone and along the route to many outdoor recreation areas including fly fishing, tubing and kayaking the New River.
We value this land and are committed to being stewards of this small piece of creation, preserving its natural beauty and health for generations to come.

The Vineyard & Orchard
At Mill Camp Farm
Nestled on steep southern-facing slopes, our vineyard and orchard thrive in Clifton loam with a granite base, producing grapes that reflect the mountainous landscape and apples that produce a diverse range of flavors. Enjoy crisp and refreshing to rich and complex.
In addition to the orchard and vineyards, we harvest maple sap for syrup, birch bark for birch "beer", hay, eggs, and honey from our bees.

Our Vision
For All Guests
At Mill Camp, we envision a friendly community meeting spot fostering genuine connections and embracing the beauty of all God has created. Join us as we celebrate the beauty and bounty of this local landscape through our handcrafted beverages.
Above all, we abide in His love. John 15
