About Us

Homestead Mission Statement

At Happy Hippie Homestead, our mission is to nourish both body and spirit by growing healthy, ethically raised food and creating unforgettable, hands-on experiences for families in our community. We’re committed to sustainable farming, pasture-raised animals, and local food that you can feel good about — all rooted in love, respect, and a deep connection to the land.

More than just a farm, we’re a place where kids can cuddle baby goats, families can celebrate under the Carolina sky, and everyone is welcome to slow down and soak up the magic of real farm life. Through our mobile petting zoo, on-farm events, and educational tours, we bring joy, laughter, and learning to people of all ages.

We believe in raising animals with kindness, feeding our neighbors with purpose, and sharing our homestead in a way that builds community, one smile at a time

Growing Health

Our eggs come from hens that are raised on pasture, allowing them to forage and move around freely in a natural environment. As a result, these eggs are more nutritious and flavorful than conventional eggs. Studies have shown that pasture-raised eggs contain higher levels of beneficial nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and antioxidants and are lower in cholesterol. Additionally, pasture-raised eggs are produced in a more humane and sustainable way, with hens having access to fresh air, sunlight, and natural forage. By choosing pasture-raised eggs, consumers can support animal welfare, sustainable agriculture, and their own health and wellbeing.

Microgreens Mission

At Happy Hippie Microgreens, our mission is to provide our local community with fresh, beyond organic microgreens that are hand-sown and grown with care. We are committed to sustainable farming practices and believe in the power of local, homegrown produce to nourish and connect our community. We offer convenient delivery and subscription options to make it easy for our customers to enjoy the health benefits and delicious flavors of our microgreens, while supporting a small, local business.

A Family Tradition

Our family served the community with a roadside fruit and vegetable stand in the summer and Christmas trees in the winter for almost 20 years! Now we are getting back to our roots at the Happy Hippie Homestead. We are proud to grow food and meat that feeds our family and yours! Thank you for supporting this tradition.

Delivery or Pick-up

We will regularly add new pick-up sites and delivery times. If you have questions about delivery or pick-up options, drop us a line!
