We are currently *under construction*. Our forest was damaged by the draught and so there are changes underway. Please excuse our appearance as we shift toward becoming a food forest.
Solomon's Garden is a 5 acre homestead located in the Black Warrior River valley. Our site is currently under land work construction, as we are recovering from the pine beetle disaster that has ravaged Alabama. Our beautiful pine trees are no more and we are in the process of rebuilding the campground, planting a food forest and adding an additional shower/toilet facility.
We currently have a semi-private camping area in our small orchard that is flat and grassy that we recommend for tent campers on any day. We also have a larger, more remote camp area available on dry days. We expect land work to be complete in June and are eagerly awaiting the grass, wildflowers and native herbs to return following all this spring rain.

It was my pleasure to be here, thank you for the invite, the experience was awesome.
Chieftess Sundance & I was talking about doing this very thing on our land, now you & your family has given me a true vision of this possibility becoming a reality.
I loved everything, the women sharing there personal life freely, foraging in real time with an expert guide who gave boundless information & making it fun & easy! Sleeping in a tent is wonderful. The food was expertly demonstrated and the taste was on point. I can't say enough & I would do it again. To say the least the price was just right💯

We had a fantastic stay! The location is perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet just a few minutes from downtown and Northport. Brian was an excellent host and very communicative. Heads up for RV travelers: the gravel driveway is steep, and we needed 4WD to get our 25-foot camper up. Just be prepared if you have a larger rig.
We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful space! I traveled with my mom and dog and we had a great time. The owners were out of town but their son was there and answered all questions for us! If you choose to stay down by the pond there are multiple options.

This was such a nice place to stay. If you want peace and quiet. Just enjoying the view of the field and the pine woods.
Or look at the stars with a campfire burning. You need to go here.
And Danny is the perfect host!

This was a great experience. Brian and his wife were very friendly and made our overnight stay comfortable and enjoyable. There was even a special event that made our stop extra meaningful for our 7-year-old granddaughter. Just hours before our arrival, one of their goats had 2 kids! Our granddaughter was able to hold and cuddle the newborns. We even stopped by the next morning on the way out to say goodbye to the newborns.
The site up on the hill (earlier rain made the field too wet) was perfect.
Thanks Brian!

Before we arrived, Brian let us know the field was really muddy from the rain, so he moved us to the hill, which had an awesome view of the wooded neighborhood and the night sky was amazing. He met us as we pulled in to make sure we were ok. Although the hill was in the open, it still offered privacy, as it was surrounded by the forest. The only issue was that the gravel was black and grey, and without shade, the a/c in our camper had a hard time keeping us cool during the day. We visited the goats, and Brian's wife, Katie, was very pleasant and allowed us in the field to interact with them (the goats were a little shy though). I would highly recommend Happy Hooves Farm and would love to stay again.

We loved camping in the pasture near a serene pond sheltered by rows of pine trees. Woke up to birds chirping in the pine woods. Danny set us up with electrical and dumping service. As well as access to water. It was a drive in for a quick one night stay as we traveled back to WI but would be worth it for a longer stay. Danny was very friendly-when we come back we will bring him some squeaky cheese curds!

We had a great time! It was difficult navigating in the dark but Brian was understanding and helpful, and even gave us a hand with the fire since it was wet outside.

We enjoyed parking our travel trailer and sleeping peacefully in the quiet, spacious field. We woke up to views of towering oaks hugging the hillsides. Arriving after dark was not a problem as Brian's description of the sight was accurate and his instructions were easy to follow. Would stay here again.

Great private spot in a fenced in field/pasture area. Utilities were located at the back corner so you had the whole field to yourself. Our dog loved running around off leash. We were welcome by Brian shortly after we arrived and he was quick with all communications. We did require 4WD to pull our travel trailer up the somewhat steep gravel drive way. There were some muddy spots and some ant hills to be mindful of. We would definitely stop here again. T-Mobile home internet was about 170 MBPS.

It’s a cozy plot of land. The owner is very welcoming and helpful caretaker. The neighbors were being odd, but the owner was very open to help out and resolved the situation. Would recommend!

Brian, his dog were very hospitable and all the farm animals were a treat.
The upper gravel area overlooking the goat field was perfect for us. Found a level spot hooked into power and we were set to enjoy the quiet interspursed with the nighttime noises from the nature all around.
Definately stop here again when journeying through.
