And they’re off! 🐐💨 The goats are headed out for a busy day of looking adorable, snacking, and getting into everyone’s business. 😂💚

It’s a tough job, but somebody’s goat to do it! 🐐

Feeling extra blessed this evening here at Fleming Fields Farm. 💜🌄

Over the summer, we had the opportunity to acquire almost 5 acres of beautiful pasture land from our wonderful neighbors, and we’re so grateful to make it part of our farm.

Tonight, we’re out marking off what will become our new property entrance—and imagining what’s ahead! After plenty of back-and-forth, ideas, and “what ifs,” we’ve finally decided what we want to do. 🌿

We’re keeping the details on the down low for now 🤫, but our plans will fit perfectly with our agritourism activities and within the guidelines for our A1 and A2 property. As far as we know, there’s nothing else quite like it in Southwest Virginia!

There’s plenty of work ahead, but it’s exciting to see a dream begin to take shape. We’ll keep y’all updated as we make progress. Stay tuned! 💜

An unwelcome visitor at Fleming Fields Farm… 🐻🐝

For the first time in the 3½ years since we got our bees, a bear has torn apart one of our hives. It was heartbreaking to find the damage and see what our hardworking little bees had been through.

Thankfully, Ron, our “bee whisperer,” checked things over and said the queen is okay and the hive should recover. 💛 We’re so grateful for his help and hopeful our little colony will pull through!

Never a dull moment on the farm—even if this is one adventure we could have done without! 🐝💜

🌿 Fleming Fields Farm & Lavender Shop will be closed today, Saturday, October 17, because I’m feeling under the weather and need to rest.

We are heartbroken to share that Terror In The Timber has been canceled.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Sean will be traveling out of the country for his job during the time we need to prepare for the event. Terror In The Timber takes an enormous team effort to set up, and Sean’s engineering expertise is essential to bringing the trail to life safely. Without him here, we cannot pull off the experience we had planned.

We are so sorry to everyone who was looking forward to joining us. We know this is disappointing, and we sincerely apologize for the change. All presold tickets have been refunded.

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting Fleming Fields Farm. ❤️

Don't forget to join us tomorrow, September 12th, from 11am–1pm for our final free lavender distillation demonstration of the year. Rain or shine, we’ll gather under the pavilion in front of the lavender shop to share the fragrance, process, and charm of lavender.
