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 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!
