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.

The farm was once a portion of the McTureus Plantation.  Tony's family members were once enslaved on the plantation. Upon Emancipation a family member bought land and it remained in the family.  Tony is a descendant of those family members whose foresight allowed us to be here today.  Tony's parents entrusted the care and preservation of the property to us and we are doing our best to be good stewards and teach the value of this property to our children and young grandchildren.

Skidaway Island State Park camping guide

Overview

About

An easy, 25-minute drive from historic Savannah, Skidaway Island State Park borders Skidaway Narrows, a part of Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway. Follow hiking trails that lead through maritime forest and past salt marsh to a boardwalk and observation tower, where you can look out for wildlife such as deer, fiddler crabs, raccoon, egrets, and rare migrating birds. A nature center is another top draw, home to a giant ground sloth replica, birding station, nature exhibits, and a reptile room. The scenic Skidaway Island State Park Campground is nestled under live oaks and Spanish moss. Some RV sites have hookups, and a selection of camper cabins are available for rent.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Booking in advance is recommended and can be easily done online or by phone, up to 13 months in advance.
  2. A limited number of sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  3. Call ahead of time if you’ll be arriving after hours. You should be able to check in over the phone and avoid losing your spot.

When to go

Skidaway Island State Park is great to visit any time of year, but spring and summer are best for watersport opportunities, such as kayaking and paddleboarding. While summers in Savannah can get warm, Skidaway Island tends to be more pleasant thanks to its cooling ocean breezes. As with most state parks, the summer months are busiest, especially on weekends, so it’s a good idea to make reservations in advance.

Know before you go

  • A ParkPass is required for all vehicles and is not included with camping reservations. Overnight guests pay only one ParkPass fee for the duration of their stay. 
  • Pets are welcome, but must be on a leash no longer than six feet. Pets are not allowed in buildings or swimming areas.
  • Drone use is prohibited in all Georgia state parks.
