New Location, New Farm Model

Relocating to Winnsboro, South Carolina: climate adaptation, multi-location farm model, and garden bed setup.

We Have Moved to Winnsboro, South Carolina!

Home of the oldest working town clock, the South Carolina Railroad Museum, the Fairfield County Historical Museum, and near Carolina Adventure World.

As someone who has lived her entire life in the northeast USA, this is like moving to another planet. There is almost no snow! Winter feels like spring. Plants have begun growing in February. And summers are hot, as in HOT. We are trying a new approach down here, spreading our farm components across multiple locations, and adapting everything for this new climate.


Farm Adaptations & Updates:

- Bunnyville: For now, Bunnyville is on hold. The bunnies are happily settled at headquarters. - Poultry: We have stopped poultry for the time being. - Biointensive & Permaculture Gardens: We are setting up garden beds and figuring out how to apply biointensive and permaculture methods in this sandy clay soil of zone 8a. Ants are a thing—big mounds of ants that bite hard! The annual seed inventory is done, and we have selected the seeds we think make the most sense for the first planting. We get 2 or 3 growing seasons here, which is amazing! - Livestock Headquarters: The horses and goats are at a farm near headquarters (headquarters sounds like a mighty fancy label for our humble cottage and beginning gardens). We have not published the farm location for the privacy of the farm owner and for animal security. We provide it when folks come to purchase livestock or book an AirBnB Animal Experience with us.

Let the adventures and learning begin!
