Who We Are
Dinner Bell Farm is a local family farm growing chemical-free and sustainably-raised vegetables, herbs, and fruit, as well as pastured eggs and pastured pork. As a family, we started Dinner Bell Farm because we are committed to participating in a local, sustainable food system that is healthy for people and the earth.
Our farm is a source of inspiration not only for what we grow, cook and eat, but also for how we live.
Children's Events & Camp
We are excited to share the farm, forest, fields and animals - chickens, pigs, and goats! We are planning monthly seasonal and themed events as well as a summer day camp.

About Our Children's Programs
Never before in history have children been so plugged-in– and so out of touch with the natural world.
Our Children’s Nature Events at Dinner Bell Farm are designed to lead you and your child(ren) out your door, into the natural world where myriad wonders are taking place all around you. Our events are not rushed - we build in time for discovery and play.
We hope that our events and experiences here will entice us all to go outside, to play and interact with the natural world, and to celebrate the different seasons of year.
At Dinner Bell Farm, we craft “learning in action” experiences – combining discovery, activities, story, crafts, and celebrations - weaving in the trees, plants, and animals that are our kin. We offer ways of connecting which speak not only to the intellect, but also to the imagination and emotions.
More About Us
Growing vegetables and caring for the earth have always been core values in our family. Originally from southwest Florida, we all spent years as enthusiastic backyard and community gardeners. Plus, the whole family loves to cook and eat!
As our family grew to understand the impact of our food choices on the wellbeing of both humans and the environment, we decided to take our values one step - or one giant leap - further, moving to the land to start Dinner Bell Farm in 2015.
By creating a sustainable, diverse farm, we are able to bring together our values of healthy food, healthy planet, and healthy community. We use natural practices to regenerate the land and grow delicious, nutrient dense food for our community. As farmers, this is the best way that we can care for the planet and future generations.
Community matters to us - knowing each other’s names and building friendships, sharing welcome and hospitality, belonging together as partners in the farm. That’s why our main focus is our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)--a weekly veggie and egg delivery--as well as regular gatherings at the farm for our community to enjoy good food, good company, and the beauty of the land.
We value service to our local community. Produce is also donated to SAFE, our local food pantry, Stone Soup Ministries, and other ministries in our community. We believe in being good neighbors to all who live in Alamance County and are involved in community groups, collaborations, and service.
