Union County, North Carolina

Where the creek bends, the good things grow.

An organic family farm tucked into an oxbow of Hawks Creek — home to Cotton Patch geese, glossy black Cayuga ducks, busy bees, a small vineyard, and three very short heads of security.

Our Flock & Friends

Cotton Patch Geese

A rare Southern heritage breed and the true mascots of the oxbow — grazing the orchard rows like they own the place.

Cayugas & Welsh Harlequins

Beetle-green black feathers beside soft dappled silver — the prettiest cleanup crew a garden ever had.

Horses, Donkeys & Goats

The big-hearted grazers of the back pasture, plus a chicken flock and hives humming at the tree line.

The Dachshund Patrol

Red, black-and-tan, and one dappled deputy — three mini dachshunds keep watch over every fence line, feed bucket, and unsuspecting visitor. Follow their adventures on the blog.
