ABOUT US

We're a story you've heard before... And we may also be living the same dream you've had. In short, after 20+ years in the great City of Atlanta, our family felt called to more fully launch on our love of the outdoors, to more likely ensure high-quality time together and to more capably explore the gifts and talents entrusted to us by our Heavenly Father!

At the same time, our journey to Charlie Creek Farm did not include years of advanced planning, diligent forethought or careful consideration... We literally pulled into the driveway of this property (see aerial video) to turn around - - and, instead, found a FOR SALE sign and a total lifestyle change in less than 72 hours! Who says impulsiveness is only for the young?!

Now, along with "a real job," school and other hobbies and activities, we grow what we want to eat, we caretake for animals that live a life of purpose and enrich our lives and we celebrate this special privilege to call Blue Ridge home with new and old friends alike! To learn more about us, see below... Or, if you rightly think the real action is with the feathered, furry and fleeced residents of Charlie Creek Farm, check this out!
