A tale of a mini farm built on love, land, and a magnolia tree.
At their wedding, instead of lighting a unity candle, they watered a magnolia tree together. That tree was later planted at the top of the hill overlooking the farm.
Between the tree and the hill, the name found them. Magnolia Hill was born before anything else was.
Meet the herdDuring COVID, while working in nursing home management, the weight of loss and isolation settled in. Caring for animals became something quiet and necessary — a way to breathe.
What started with a few baby chicks grew slowly, instinctively, into something more.
When their son was born, they knew what kind of childhood they wanted to give him — one surrounded by animals, open air, and a slower pace.
They built that life on family land in Buckingham County, and it grew into something they couldn't have planned.
They didn't plan them all at once. The animals arrived one by one, each one deepening the story.
Butter came home in the back of an SUV, small enough to need a bottle. Rosemary, Pepper, and Poppy followed — Nigerian Dwarf goats, ADGA registered, full of personality.
When baby goats arrived that spring, it stopped feeling like a hobby. It felt like a farm.
See our experiencesThe more time they spent on the hill with the animals, the more they noticed it — a quiet that's hard to find anywhere else. Just sunshine, open land, and creatures who have no use for rush.
In a world that never seems to slow down, they wanted to share that feeling with people who needed it too.
What started as sharing their animals turned into sharing a feeling. Sunshine, fresh air, laughter, and the simple peace of being somewhere beautiful with creatures who make you smile.
They've already met so many wonderful people on this hill. And they can't wait to meet more.
