Biltmore Farms

Welcome news coming from one of our community partners. We are thankful for all the amazing people working tirelessly to secure recovery and rebuilding resources for WNC.

If we know anything about our Western North Carolina community, it is that together we will overcome any obstacle. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been personally impacted by Tropical Storm Helene. We are incredibly grateful for our first responders and citizens who jumped into action to help our neighbors. Many of you have reached out to our employees and their family members to check in and offer support. We have all been buoyed by your thoughtfulness and generosity. The path to recovery will be long, but for now our teams are working to connect those in need with the proper assistance. Below are links to two resources: an interactive map showing the location of various essentials in the Ashville area along with a list of organizations that are actively accepting donations. Thank you for keeping our community in your thoughts during this challenging time. https://lnkd.in/e5d2rMaT https://lnkd.in/eHhbUW6J

We are excited to announce the promotion of Kyle Highberg, Vice President of Hospitality. Highberg joined Biltmore Farms in 2022 as Senior Director of Hotel Operations. In his first two years, Kyle has been instrumental in developing Biltmore Farm’s hospitality division, including implementing a global procurement system and restructuring Business Intelligence (BI) software synching.

What a show! The local community turned out in numbers this past Friday to see the first concert in our “Concerts in the Park” series at Biltmore Park Town Square. “Mission Accomplished,” a local cover band comprised of Mission Health employees, brought down the house. Halfway through their set, the band surprised the crowd by presenting the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity with a $1,500 check to support its ongoing efforts to build affordable housing. Thank you to all who attended, and thank you Mission Accomplished for your generous donation. We’ll see you at the next show on August 9th!

This month we celebrate the heritage and contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islanders. To mark the occasion, Highland Brewing Company released a special rice lager, named "Xie Xie." The brew's formula was perfected at a gathering that brought Asheville AAPI community members together, including our very own VP of Human Resources, Carol Nguy?n Steen.

Today’s leaders must prioritize connecting with and empowering the next generation to foster interest in the community and its future. I saw this most recently during a panel hosted by the Asheville Area Chamber for the Young Professionals of Asheville. Alongside regional players, including Pratt & Whitney and Buncombe County Government, we spoke with these future leaders about the importance of community development and collaboration.?

Our amazing VP of Human Resources, IT and Security, Carol Nguy?n Steen, was profiled in this month’s edition of Business North Carolina magazine. Carol’s natural gift for connecting with others makes her such an asset to Biltmore Farms. Check out the article to learn more about her humble roots, her big move to the Asheville area, and her passion for creating community.
