We started back in 1998 as a horse business.
When weeds started taking over our horse pastures, we got involved with Fainting Goats (come hear the story on our Goat Playtime tour!). We were one of the first breeders in the northeast and helped to found the northeast show circuit.
From there, we branched out into educational tours and farmstay hosting.
Over the years, we have done everything from heirloom vegetable and herb gardens to heritage chickens, ducks, and so much more. Click on the dropdown menu to view some of our previous activities.
We have set up farm or homestead operations at 6 locations to date and are now working on our 7th and newest location in a new state! Come see us in South Carolina.
