Whippoorwill Farms SC is a 40 acre, regenerative working farm, where our main income comes from the sale of our meat, egg and vegetable products direct to consumer at local farmers markets, through our subscription service and at local restaurants!
We love opening up our farm for people to experience what farm life is like in a beautiful, wooded setting.
After moving our farm here to this land in October of 2019, we began the slow process of regenerating the land through the use of heritage animal species and permaculture. We have made a lot of progress on our property since then, and we continue daily to work to regenerate our little slice of land!
Walk our property and the see hundreds of pigs, thousands of chickens (we have the most chickens between March-December), cows and our two horses, Whiskey and Willow. Our livestock roam amongst the trees and forage in their natural environment. If you love nature and regenerative agriculture, you'll love exploring our farm and all we have to offer!

Why buy a home when you can build a fairy-tale?
Hi, I'm Curt. My wife Ani, son Fitch, and I are your average, everyday nonconformists who have been running an experiment. We are trying to figure out if a family can use their own hands and some grit to handcraft a life that you don't need a vacation from. Or better yet, that you would vacation to. Have we done that? You be the judge.
Years ago we left our Miami handcrafted furniture business to pursue this new goal. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living that would find a harmony between the helpful aspects of the modern world and the good parts of the old, that maybe society should have held tight to. We wanted to play with this idea...while keeping it classy ;-)
At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us designing unique, functional cottages, using solar energy, composting organics, sewing and reaping, in a way that is fair to our environment. We're bread baking, pasta making, timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. The goal is to evolve into a small world of self-reliance and harmony with nature.
Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" slow, simple living can feel. We all have personal priorities, and those will vary greatly. But within that, we can all include ways of being respectfully mindful to the earth and to our neighbors.
Visiting with us, we sure hope our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to life here, that they can appreciate our perspectives and some of our old-fashioned ways. Our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a refreshing hideaway from the norm. You can imagine, it has been a ton of work, sacrifice and expense to create a very special camp atmosphere. Any donation to show appreciation for its use, if even for a single night, is a valuable support to our efforts.
*** Special Note: Heirloom has one full-hookup site for medium sized setups, that we use for long term month-to-month stays. Heirloom is our home, so we are judicious in determining that the guests that stay there are a good match for us and them.
If you're interested, feel free to reach out. We will gather your details and do a Zoom meeting as an opportunity to determine if we're all a good fit. ***

I was the first person to purchase property here in 1995 in what is known as Moultrie Plantation. This is a private property community with its own private dirt road. The plantation is rich in Civil War history and people still find arrowhead 's, Civil war buttons and other Civil War related items on the dirt roads where the soldiers marched through the plantation. It is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood where owners enjoy the country life.

We loved camping on Ricki’s property! We booked the field & pond site, which was very beautiful. It was a bit warm down by the water so we asked to move to higher ground between the large growth trees and the breeze & sunset was so nice from that spot. Ricki was so nice and accommodating, she brought us fresh eggs and homemade jam, which were both very delicious. We loved getting to walk around the property after our long drive and see the farm animals, including the newly born calf! This place was a magical little gem & we’ll definitely will be back when in the area again!

Overview
About
While best-known for its Civil War connections, Fort McAllister State Park, which is nestled among giant oaks, Spanish moss and salt marsh on the banks of Ogeechee River, is a beautiful setting for fishing, hiking, biking and boating. There are more than four miles of varied and scenic hiking trails to explore by foot, as well as some designated biking trails. Paddlers can explore the river by canoe or kayak while anglers can enjoy fly fishing, bass fishing, and trout fishing. Fort McAllister State Park Campground has 67 campsites for tents, trailers and RVs, while backpackers can hike into the two designated backcountry sites.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Bookings can easily be secured online or by phone, up to 13 months in advance.
- Campers wishing to use the backcountry sites should book well in advance: There are only two sites and they book up quickly.
- Any sites that have not been reserved are available on a first-come, first first-served basis.
When to go
The most popular time to visit is in spring and summer, so it’s a good idea to make reservations during that period. Summers in the area tend to get hot and humid (with temperatures typically in the low 90s) but the park has the advantage of water-based activities to keep you cool. Fort McAllister State Park is known for its educational programming, so check the calendar to see what’s on before planning a visit.
Know before you go
- Bicycles are available to rent in the park, as are canoes, kayaks and paddleboards on a seasonal basis.
- Free Wi-Fi is available in the park office and museum.
- Pets are welcome, as long as they are kept on a leash.
- Georgia law requires that anyone 16 and older have a fishing license
