Doc Rider Road, Folkston, GA 31537 - Charlton County

The Farm at Okefenokee is a regenerative farming community that offers the experience of farm ownership without the burdens of managing it yourself. Nestled on 1,000 acres adjacent to the UNESCO World Heritage-nominated Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, The Farm combines the beauty of a working farm with the convenience of shared ownership and community living.

For those considering buying 5 to 40 acres of land to start a small farm, The Farm at Okefenokee provides a compelling alternative. Instead of managing large parcels of land, buying expensive equipment, tending animals and sacrificing your free time, you can enjoy the best of all worlds: fee-simple ownership of a homesite, shared ownership in a fully operational farm, and access to farm-to-table living with none of the hassle.

Owners at The Farm at Okefenokee are part of a community that combines private homeownership with shared access to orchards, gardens and groves. The first phase, The Standing Gardens, features 25 half-acre lots with lot #8 priced at $350,000. Residents enjoy fee-simple ownership of their subdivided lot, governed by The Farms community documents, while also benefiting from professionally managed farming operations.

The Farm offers access to more than 250 crop varieties maintained by full-time farmers, including heirloom (non-GMO) fruits, vegetables and nuts. From grapes, olives, berries, and citrus to pecans, chestnuts, and sugarcane, every harvest is shared among the community. Residents also enjoy fresh eggs, milk, and meat from heritage animals like Piney Woods cows, Meishan pigs, African geese, and Bourbon Red turkeys - all cared for by experienced handlers.

Imagine the freedom of having fresh, healthy produce, honey and meat delivered to your table without needing to plow fields or feed livestock yourself.
