Our Story

Our Party of Five

We’re Mike and Meghan—nice to meet you.

We traded suburban New York for farm life in rural South Carolina. At the time we had two children… now we have three!

We’re passionate about being good stewards of this beautiful land, learning new skills, pursuing a healthier lifestyle, and raising our children in nature.

We hope to see you out at the farm. Follow along as we evolve and grow as first-time farmers.

Our Practices

Organic, sustainable, and rooted in respect for the land.

We’re committed to organic and sustainable practices to grow nutrient-packed blueberries, blackberries, figs, raspberries, and other seasonal produce. Located along the vibrant banks of the Edisto River, the farm offers a diverse landscape—including the river, wooded areas, and pastures.
