Friends Drift Inn Farm and Kitchen

Friends Drift Inn farm and kitchen is a small family business in Pikeville with the ongoing mission of “Growing a Good Life in Appalachia.” The 12-acre farm is owned and managed by Joyce and Charlie Pinson, and they create jams and specialty foods, and they promote Appalachian foods and farming. 

Their farm was named after Joyce’s grandparents’ diner which closed in the 1960s. It was located between Louisville and Cincinnati, and Joyce said it was ahead of its time.
“Grandpa grew many of the vegetables served on red-checked tables. The family also had an apiary and commercial orchard which figured prominently into the diner’s seasonal menus.”

If you would like your farm featured on this page, please email us a photo and a short description at info@teachkyag.org.
