The Daufuskie Island Community Farm
The Community Farm on Daufuskie Island, also called Green Wood Farm, located on Haig Point Road was founded in 2010 by local resident Pat Beichler, with the hope of making the island less dependent on the ferries to haul in food necessities. Starting out with the construction of a single goat barn and two goats, the farm now has 10 buildings including a goat dairy, a turkey coop, a hog house, and a chicken coop. There are cows, turkeys, chickens, hogs and goats, providing milk, eggs, cheese, and meats, as well as farmed produce.
Beichler put up the seed money for the farm from her savings and hundreds of volunteers donated thousands of hours to construct and now maintain the farm. Nothing is sold here on this cooperative sustainable living farm. The almost 100 members of the farm swap or share whatever is ripe, sponsor animals by paying for their upkeep, and continue to donate labor and money.
Plan a visit to The Green Wood Farm and experience the sense of community found here on Daufuskie Island.
