North Carolina Century Farms

The Wilson Place & Flynt Farm have been in our family for over 150 years. Generation after generation worked & loved the land, and in turn, the land provided livelihoods for our family & surrounding communities. Spanning everything from dairy to lumber to tobacco (and lots of things in-between), the farms offered food, goods, meaningful work and a gathering place for all. In the 1980's, both farms fell fallow after Claire's grandfather passed and his children had moved off the farm.

It's now time to reset and restart.

The Wilson Place farm in Pfafftown, NC has been in Claire’s family since the 1800’s, and is a North Carolina Century Farm.

Claire’s mother. grandmother, great-grandmother & great-great-grandfather were all raised there. The farm has been a dairy (cows & goats), and home to chickens, pigs, beef cows and horses. Crops were cut flowers, barley, oats, apples, pears, seasonal vegetables, hay, scuppernog grapes wheat & corn.

The farm is now where HHF produces our mushrooms, honey, flowers, heirloom produce and where we hold special events. Several of the farm's pastures also house a horse rescue, providing them a safe & happy forever home.

Also a family North Carolina Century Farm, this farm in the Germanton, NC area houses HHF’s apiary, wood work, field crops & wellness activities.

Claire’s mother and family moved here in the 1950's to expand farming operations from The Wilson Place, and worked the land until they passed away.

The farm originally grew tobacco as it's main crop, and also produced beef cows, pigs, vegetables (with a focus on sweet potatoes & tomatoes), concord grapes, hay and apples.

We are Drew & Claire Parrish - parents of two small children and legitimate farm nerds. We met at Appalachian State University, and have never looked back. We both began careers off the farm, and felt drawn back here to make a difference in our community through agriculture.
