After exiting college life in 2002 and entering our chosen vocations in 2003, we both began to realize that we would like to live the farm life while we were young and could enjoy it.  Many try it when they no longer able to bend like they used to when they were young! While we enjoyed our careers, we wanted to be together as a new family and enjoy living close to the land.   Therefore, we began to look for a way to exit the corporate world of middle Georgia and begin to live more enjoyable, flexible, and healthier lives.  In the summer of 2006, we found out that the aircraft David was working on was going to be decommissiond in just a couple years and the contracts were slowing down and were likely to never see the light of day. That summer we began to prepare the land. In November of 2006 we made the leap and returned to our hometown of Clayton and begin an organic farm.

We grew up in Clayton and look forward to again living where there are many opportunities to be in God's creation.  Backpacking, star gazing, gardening, paddling, its a great place to live! We plan to enjoy the outdoors during the summer and then enjoy the world of engineering in the winter. (David hopes to provide engineering services during the winter months.) This flexibility will provide us with the opportunity to serve and enjoy our local community and the world God has made.

Our goal is to provide authentic organically grown vegetables and fruits to our local community. We will meet and exceed the national organic standards. We like to refer to it as Organics++. Read more about organics and the changing standards here.

There are many areas into which we would like to expand our garden in the near future, some of which are shittake mushrooms, goldenseal production, and cut flowers.  If there are any agricultural services you would like to have in Rabun County, please send us an email with your suggestions!  We would love to hear from you:)
