Where it all started... 2017...
Growing our own food quickly became a passion of ours. We heard about a community garden in our area so we rented two plots beside each other and started to grow. We soon learned to can and preserve thus enjoying fresh harvested produce throughout the year. After only hearing stories of our grandparent’s generation surviving this way, most of what they learned had been forgotten. We set out on a mission to learn the “old ways”...
Before we knew it, we bought a Farm and got Married!
Located in Marietta, South Carolina
Humanely Raised Livestock
We practice chemical free, regenerative farming techniques. All of our poultry and Nubian goats are pasture raised because rotational grazing livestock can regenerate soil through their natural fertilizer and by using a cover crop system. Our hens do not have access to supplemental feed during the day, encouraging them to get out and forage for food.
Grass Fed Chicken
Our chickens are free range. They enjoy roaming the pastures eating insects, scratching at the dirt, and bathing in the sun for some extra vitamin D. We provide pastured broilers in warmer months. These young chickens are harvested in 8-10 short weeks and are antibiotic and hormone free. All of our poultry are processed on our farm, with 0-waste processing in the most humane and sanitary way. We have learned to use every part of the bird.
Edible Landscape
We are continuously expanding our orchard, adding various edible varieties, layering them in wherever we can. When we moved here, we were blessed with over a dozen mature rabbit eye blueberry bushes that yield us with enough berries to share with our community. We spend countless hours in the summer harvesting our fresh produce to can and preserve for the winter months to come. It's an incredible feeling pulling out a fresh jar of spaghetti, marinara, jam, etc that you grew yourself, harvested and preserved.
Goat milk is Delicious, nutritious and moisturizing!
We raise Nubian Dairy Goats because they are a great dual purpose goat with a mild temper personality. Their milk is really high in fat, great for cheeses and soaps! The creek that runs along the base of our property nourishes a lush habitat of vegetation for them to graze on.
FOOD PRESERVATION
It is a passion of ours not only to grow the most delicious and freshest produce but also to can and preserve it all to enjoy throughout the year. We make some of the best blueberry jam you've never tried!
Fresh local Food
Whether it be fresh herbs, dried spices, pasture raised eggs, fresh harvested produce, and handcrafted jams and Goats Milk Soaps, Feather Creek Farmstead can provide you with all the local goodness.
Now we Grow our Family!
We happily welcomed our first child in 2021
& plan to have him hauling feed bags in no time!
