ABOUT US

We started out homesteading on a tiny piece of property in the city of Wilson. We raised chickens and rabbits, planted a garden, and started making goat milk soap, all while Grant was still in the military and I was in college studying to be a veterinarian. Once we added pigs, we knew we needed to find someplace bigger that allowed us to do more on our homestead. Luckily, we were blessed to find a 5 acre property in Kenly, and our expansion started from there!

​

We dived right into everything. Built breeding coops for chickens to separate them by breed and sell pure-bred hatching eggs and chicks, acquired our first goats, fenced off a garden area and separate pig pasture, and got a new stable barn built. We definitely had our ups and downs that year after moving to our new place, but we have since learned from those experiences and gained a lot of knowledge from them! 

​

Grant was medically retired from the Air Force that very next year, and I made the hard decision to drop out of college to pursue our dreams of turning our homestead into an actual working farm. We have since expanded in more ways than one! Our goat herd nearly quadrupled, we added several more dairy goats to be able to offer fresh raw milk, we began setting up at farmers markets with our pasture-raised meat and other farm products, our garden space doubled with flowers and produce, and SO MUCH MORE!! 

We quickly outgrew our small 5 acre farm in Kenly, and decided to look elsewhere to expand on our dream! We found an amazing piece of property in Southwest Virginia to settle down/plant our roots and are so excited to be able to grow our business and our family. We are opening up our farm to the public! We are building a farm store, and doing U-pick flowers later this summer 2024!  We look forward in meeting new faces and getting to know the NRV community.

Sincerely, 

Grant, Rebekah, and Roane
