Hi, I’m Joan, thanks for checking out my farm. Fiddlesticks Farm was founded in 2021 after I left a 15 year career in Environmental Advocacy fighting to slow climate change and protect communities in the southeast from environmental devastation. I had a strong need to return to my roots, get closer to the Earth I love so much, and immerse myself in growing something from a tiny seed to food and flowers to share with my family and community. 

I wholeheartedly believe that everything is better when it’s home grown with love and I now live my passion for environmental protection by ensuring everything on the farm has as much of a positive impact on the planet as possible. We use farming methods that build biodynamic soil, save water, protect pollinators and  only use products that are organic certified. We create as little fossil-fuel pollution as possible by doing most of our work by hand (we don’t  even have a tractor!) and serving our customers products that don’t have to travel hundreds or thousands of miles. 

Every day on the farm is a true gift, especially getting to share the beauty and skills of farming with my two children, May and Sylvia, who love to help with tucking baby plants into the soil and care for our flock of hens. 

I love sharing the joy, beauty and magic of flowers and homegrown produce with others.
