Mark and Lauren moved to NC from Philadelphia in 2016 to start their farming adventure.  They attended the Living Web Farm Internship for 6 months in Mills River, NC where they learned everything from growing tomatoes to butchering chickens.   They now have a 5 acre farm in Fruitland, NC, just down the street from Justus Orchard, with a high tunnel greenhouse, outdoor garden, fruit trees, Kune Kune pigs,  laying hens, meat chickens, and a goose!

    If interested, please fill out the registration form and submit payment below.


    **Special Farm Event:

    This year we will be raising 70 Cornish Cross Meat Chickens on the farm!  They are due to arrive as DAY OLD CHICKS on May 15th.  

    A big part of Farm Camp this year will be observing the weekly growth of these birds.  A Cornish Cross Meat Chicken will grow from a day old chick to a fully grown 6-8 pound chicken in 8 weeks!   We will have limited availability for families interested to attend or participate in chicken processing on July 8th and/or to purchase whole chickens for their dinner table.  Contact us for more details.

    We have raised and harvested our organic meat chickens for 5 years now and are excited to open up this learning opportunity to the Farm Camp families.
