What if your farm could generate extra income while helping more people connect with agriculture, nature, and local history? That’s exactly what Rebecca has built at Ancient Spring Farm in North Carolina.
After purchasing the historic property in 2021, Rebecca began restoring the land using sustainable farming practices that support pollinators, wildlife habitat, and healthy soil. Like many farmers, she was looking for ways to make the property work harder while staying true to her values.
That’s where hosting came in.

By welcoming campers to the farm, Rebecca created an additional revenue stream that helps fund ongoing improvements while allowing guests to experience life on a working farm.
And the opportunity extends far beyond simply offering a campsite.
Today, guests can book farm tours, purchase fresh eggs and seasonal produce, join workshops on foraging and native plants, enjoy farm breakfasts, and learn about the property’s fascinating history. These experiences not only create additional income opportunities but also deepen visitors’ connection to the land.
What stands out most is that Rebecca didn’t need to build a luxury agritourism destination to get started.
She started with what already made her property special:
- A peaceful natural setting
- Sustainable farming practices
- A unique historical story
- Farm animals and daily farm life
The result is a hosting experience that feels authentic to both her and her guests. Ancient Spring Farm is a great reminder that visitors are often looking for exactly what you see every day: open space, nature, farm experiences, local knowledge, and genuine connection.
