That’s a wrap on Reece Farm Camp! We finished an incredible week with ice cream, crawfish races, creek adventures, and traditional cornhusk doll making. From start to finish, these kids had an absolute blast and made memories that will last a lifetime.

A special thank you to The Rog and Stephanie for all of your hard work and support throughout the week. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💜

Happy National Trails Day 🥾

The new Byron Herbert Reece Trail opens today! This new trail is designed to better fit the intent of designated Wilderness and to be more resilient and sustainable over time.

What does this mean for you?

The new trail is narrow and designed to feel natural and less developed, providing hikers with a more traditional backcountry experience.

The new trail is a little longer, making an in and out hike to the summit of Blood Mountain 5.1 miles.

The new trail will intersect the A.T. farther uphill toward the summit, no longer aligning with the Freeman Trail at Flatrock Gap.

Stay tuned for future posts on why and how this trail was built and check out our website for a detailed map.

🌱Growing More Than a Garden 🌱

A self-sustainable garden is about more than growing food, it’s about cultivating independence, stewardship, and a connection to the land.

This season, we encourage families to dig in the dirt, grow something edible, and experience the satisfaction that comes from harvesting your own food. You may even find, like Byron Herbert Reece, that the quiet moments spent in the garden inspire creativity, reflection, and dreams of your own.
