We believe commerce has a higher purpose — as a way of connecting that goes beyond simple transactions and transforms our daily needs into meaningful relationships. Together, we are healing the earth through food that restores the land and affirms life.
We're combining real food with real connection by opening our farm to you. Your stay includes a cozy overnight in one of our sweet tiny houses, where you can unwind and enjoy the peaceful farm atmosphere. You'll also receive a premium ground beef or pasture raised pork bundle (depending on availability) packed with high-quality meat straight from the farm to take home.
There is exceptional-quality prepared food available for breakfast, lunch and dinner from the Saxapahaw General Store and The Eddy Pub, both within walking distance or a one-minute car ride. You can visit a one-of-a-kind nose-to-tail charcuterie, Left Bank Butchery, and sip a latte while watching the Haw River roll by at Cup22. If you really want a world-class experience, book a float with the Haw River Canoe & Kayak Co. and plan your trip around a show at the Haw River Ballroom (we get world-renowned artists in our 1,250-person tiny town!). If you desire to prepare your own meals, your tiny home has a mini-fridge, hot plate with a cast iron skillet and basic cooking utensils.
Want to extend your stay? Add an extra night (or two) for just $89 per night.
Best of all — get hands-on with farm life by walking our cows to pasture or even milking a cow! It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in the full food experience, connecting with the land and the animals that make it all possible. Book your stay today and make your food journey unforgettable.
We mean every word: producing real food involves every part of the story — from the soil beneath our feet to the people working it, and everyone and everything in between. We also believe that food that doesn’t meet these standards may not actually be food at all. You’ve been given the ability to taste and recognize what’s truly good. The result of a genuine, honest food system is beauty.
This package includes open access to walk the farm, watch the work and say hello. It is not an immersive learning experience. This offering is for those who want to get closer to their food and see our operation up close but in a mostly non-interactive way. We love to say hi and welcome you, and we also run several businesses on the farm, and our staff has full plates. If you want to spend time with DrK and Suzanne or our team or have questions as it relates to raising livestock, this is not the package for you. Check our Seasoned Shepherd program for that type of experience and we will pour into you. The milking-the-cow option for this package is something that we offer in an effort to connect and leave you with an lifetime-memorable experience but it is not a time of mentorship.

1 piece | filet mignon
1 piece | ribeye
4 lbs | soup and marrow bones

This is superior ground beef because it came from a whole cow, which means that everything goes into the burger from parts of the sirloin to chuck roast to eye of round! Yes, even some of the steaks as well as the roasts are ground into whole-animal ground beef. It is from a grass-fat animal that had time to assimilate tens thousands of pounds of plants and turn them into highly-assimilable nutrition. It is superior in every way.
This meat is processed under the custom exempt label and will be labeled “not for sale.” The plant were our meat is processed is inspected. You are trusting us as your farmers to only pick out a healthy animal for your family, as we would do for our own.
Our beef is 100% grass-fed and fattened for maximum taste and nutrition. The ground beef is vacuum-sealed in 1lb packages. The bones will be cut into 3" pieces, and the ribeye will be around 1.25" thick, and the filet mignon likely thicker.
About the Pork:
~20lbs packaged weight of:
Loin Chops
St. Louis Ribs
Should Roast (petite, boneless)
Uncured Molasses Bacon/Jowl Bacon (no celery salt! cleanest bacon around, promise!)
Bulk Breakfast Sausage
Ground Pork
Fat
This is the best pork around, period. We raise Berkshire pigs on organic feed, in the woods, supplemented with grass-fed milk and regeneratively grown vegetables and some high-quality table scraps. These pigs don't eat anything approximating a standard American diet for a person, let alone a standard pig ration. This is way beyond "non-GMO." All organic feed is "non-GMO." They eat real food and whole-food grains (no byproducts) grown without chemicals.
We only raise a few pigs a year so we can raise them how we would if they were just for us. And we share some with you. They are co-workers and help us turn woods into pasture, and they are exceptional in every way. We have limited quantities of pork bundles. Get it while you can!
Please let us know in order notes if you want a beef of pork bundle.
If you do not want the bones, you are welcome to donate them back to the farm. Our guard dogs love them. Please put it in the order notes if you do not want the bones.
