Three Sisters
From a certain angle, the mountain ridge that makes up Blackberry Mountain looks more like three distinct mountains rather than one undulating ridge. Because of this, the locals have always called this ridge Three Sisters. Our flagship restaurant, located in the Lodge at the heart of the Blackberry Mountain property, gets its name from that story.
At Three Sisters, you will experience cutting-edge breakfast and lunch from Executive Chef Joel Werner as well as an inventive dinner menu from Executive Chef Joey Edwards that changes daily with a focus on the local and foraged produce of our region. Sip internationally curated wines, boutique spirits and beers.

Joel Werner
Am Executive Chef of Three Sisters
Joel Werner grew up spending his weekends picking vegetables from his grandparents’ garden, cooking family dinner with his dad after school, and soaking in the atmosphere of time around the table with a good meal. He knew from an early age that his future was in the kitchen. After attending culinary school at Johnson & Wales, he honed his culinary skills in a variety of styles, working at restaurants in different parts of the country. In 2015, inspired by the opportunities that awaited, Joel decided to step down from a manager role and join the Blackberry Farm team as a line cook in The Barn. Having grown up with a passion for his family’s Italian heritage, he quickly saw the parallel of the regional-style of cooking and embraced a new-found love for Southern hospitality.
In 2019, Joel brought those same influences with him to Blackberry Mountain and took on the role of Executive Chef of the Firetower. He helped open the resort, giving the Firetower a unique culinary identity and curating a menu that matched the excitement and adventure of the space. In 2025, Joel transitioned to AM executive chef at Three Sisters, overseeing the culinary experience for breakfast and lunch at Blackberry Mountain. Joel wants his guests to feel welcome and at home in the dining room. His culinary style showcases energizing and flavorful breakfast and lunch dishes, designed to leave guests feeling inspired to get out on the Mountain.
Joey Edwards
PM Executive Chef of Three Sisters
Joey Edwards tuned into his love of cooking at an early age, enjoying the opportunity to channel his creativity into making something delicious. Coming from a large family, Joey started as the top taste tester and quickly graduated to family cook, realizing that cooking was a way he could contribute and make people happy. While attending Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Orlando, Florida, and working at a local barbecue restaurant, Joey took his culinary commitment one step further and spent his days off working for free in the kitchen of the best restaurant in his area. His determination landed him a paying job in their kitchen, and that is where he fell in love with the pace and energy of the culinary industry and solidified that it was the path for him.
Joey joined The Barn at Blackberry Farm® team in 2013 as a cook. He got married in 2015 and left Blackberry Farm to embark on a backpacking adventure through Africa and Europe. He was working on a farm in Portugal when The Barn Executive Chef Cassidee Dabney asked him to return to Blackberry Farm as her sous chef in January 2016. Joey embraced the chance to return to the kitchen environment where he feels the perfect blend of art, nature, organization and adrenaline. In 2020, Joey was promoted and made the transition to Blackberry Mountain as the PM Executive Chef of Three Sisters. Joey’s love of cooking and foraging blends seamlessly into his personal life where he enjoys cooking with foraged ingredients, typically over an open fire, and preferably with a good bottle of wine.
