Our Farm
Welcome to Silver Fern Hemp Farm
The Farm
As a small family farm located in Upstate South Carolina, we started our farming journey in 2021 with a focus on getting back to our roots in nature. We moved out of the city in 2019 to be able to raise our growing family in the country. We bought an old farm that had been vacant & neglected for years, it needed a lot of work just to breathe life back into the property. It was a diamond in the rough and we were ready to polish it. It didn’t take us long to fall in love with the idea of farming. At first we were hesitant as we knew it would be a large undertaking, especially with small children, but we knew it would be worth it for the entire family.
The name Silver Fern Hemp Farm was inspired by our new property, as well as our incredible trip to New Zealand. Years ago, we were able to take a trip to New Zealand where we were able to experience so many wonderful adventures and this trip sparked our admiration for the silver fern. While on that trip we learned that the silver fern was used to aid navigation through the forests, as well as a symbol to represent strength, resistance, new life and new beginnings. We thought it would be just a fun vacation, not realizing that it would open our eyes to a new way of thinking, and would ultimately guide us to a new life. We came home wanting to re-center our lives around a more natural and healthy approach, with more time appreciating the outdoors and what nature has to offer.
In other cultures, the fern is a symbol of family and hope for future generations. All of these meanings resonated with us. Not long after purchasing the farm, we took a walk through the woods on our new property and saw ferns along the path, reminding us of our trip to New Zealand, and our strong connection to the fern.
It had always been a goal of ours to own more land, but it took several years after the New Zealand trip before we found this farm. We are blessed to have this old farm to call home. As we were settling into the simple country life, we decided to try our hand at farming and our minds immediately went to hemp. The vast benefits of hemp & CBD have always been intriguing, and our own experiences were very positive, so naturally we were drawn to this opportunity. One of the main reasons we wanted to move to this farm was to improve our family’s mental and physical well being, and now that we are growing hemp for CBD extraction products, we want to help guide others on a new path to wellness just as the silver fern was used to guide others through the forest.
