Jeff Herold, retired salesman and a man with a passion for vintage and European bikes and good beer, has moved to Western North Carolina where there is ample supplies of both. He and his wife Lee, moved to the area from someplace south of here with a vision, a desire and need to do something with his collection of vintage BSA, Triumph and Moto Guzzi motorcycles.
Mills River has so much to offer, farms, schools, great views to enjoy, roads to conquer...and farms. Farms that are working and ones whose farmers have found another road to travel. This is where we find The Greenhouse Moto Cafe, at 4021 Haywood Rd. in Mills River, NC. 28791.
The old Carolina Roses Greenhouse is a great place to house his eclectic collection of British and European vintage motorcycles. This is where vision and location collide in a "Far Side" meets "Land of the Lost” kind of place. An open hall with fine craft beer, live music, art oddities with an offbeat and campy atmosphere. Our iPod is playing everything from Les Paul to Johnny Cash, and don't be surprised to hear some Elvis Costello and Elvis Presley! That is of course when live music is not being heard.
Come by and visit. Have a look at some unique motorcycles and have a beer. Also, listen to local bands play… and talk about your last ride, or your next one with a wonderful mix of locals and riders.
