Tidewater Farm - who, what, when
Who
We are the McGuires, a family of 3 with big dreams, but limited agricultural experience. Christopher works full time for a tech company selling medical software to surgeons. Jordan, former special education teacher, now stays home with our 1-year-old son, Trey. We are also excited to be welcoming another little boy in December! While our life is busy, we have a true desire to create a small farm that provides serenity, nutrient-dense produce, high-quality livestock, and a haven for the community.
What
Our plans are far and wide, so we have narrowed them down for the foreseeable future in order to provide the best quality. This season we have planted sunflowers that are currently in full bloom. They will be sold at local vendors and incorporated into photography sessions. We also planted three types of organic pumpkins that will be ready for the fall season. The pumpkins will either be sold at our roadside stand or available for a U-Pick event. Be on the lookout for your chance to vote!
If you’re interested in sunflower photography sessions, please visit the photography tab on our website and send us a message. They only bloom for a short time, so make sure you book soon.
When
Timeline:
Year 1 - sunflowers, pumpkins, retail, photography on the farm
Year ⅔ - hayrides, corn maze, variety of floral fields, host events on the farm
Year 5 - Christmas trees, heirloom produce, livestock, USDA organic certification
*This timeline represents our current goals and aspirations - they may change with time and weather, but we will continue to keep you informed.
Thank you so much for following along; we’re excited to have you join us on our journey!
