David, founder of Pixie Farm, tending rows of vegetables in his garden

Our Founder, David

David's journey into farming began not with a business plan, but with a personal health quest. Searching for natural ways to harness turmeric's powerful medicinal properties, he discovered that truly fresh, properly grown turmeric was nearly impossible to find locally — so he decided to grow it himself.

That spark of curiosity grew into more than 30 years of experience cultivating vegetables and healing plants. David's deep belief that food is medicine guides every decision on the farm, from which seeds go in the ground to how the soil is nurtured between seasons.

Today, Pixie Farm is one of the very few farms in the Southeast to grow both turmeric and galangal — two roots prized for centuries for their culinary depth and medicinal value. David's passion turned a personal remedy into a rare and treasured regional resource.

Sustainability at Heart

At Pixie Farm, sustainability is not a marketing word — it is woven into every practice we follow. We work with the land, not against it.

Community and Quality

Pixie Farm is committed to educating the public about sustainable farming practices and the remarkable medicinal and culinary uses of plants like turmeric and galangal. We love sharing what we know — at farmers markets, through conversations at the gate, and in every bag of produce we send out.

That commitment to quality has not gone unnoticed. Our produce is favored by high-end restaurants all the way from Savannah, Georgia to Charlotte, North Carolina, where chefs trust Pixie Farm to bring them ingredients grown with intention and care.

Looking Ahead

The story of Pixie Farm is still being written. David plans to expand the farm's crop variety, bringing even more rare and healing plants to the Southeast. We are also building toward hosting intimate farm-to-table dining events right here on the property — where guests can experience the full journey from soil to plate.

Perhaps most exciting, we are laying the groundwork for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, giving local families a direct connection to fresh, sustainably grown produce throughout the season. If you want to be among the first to know when spots open up, we would love to hear from you.
