Welcome to LittleBird Acres
Welcome to LittleBird Acres, is our small farm in Upstate South Carolina. From the beginning, our plans have included off-grid camping, an on-site RV rental, and glamping in the woods - places where visitors could spend time outdoors, walk the trails, and enjoy the quiet of the farm.
Our vision for these stays centers on solar power, a light footprint on the land, and wooded campsites away from overhead power lines and electrical infrastructure. The woods are an important part of that plan: they provide the setting, privacy, shade, and room for visitors to explore ( and maybe disconnect from their phones and social media for a minute).
Getting there has taken longer than we expected. We originally planned to welcome overnight guests in spring 2026, but Hurricane Helene left us rebuilding our barn and repairing storm damage. Drainage and water-management work then had to take priority before we could move ahead with preparing guest areas.
Meanwhile, we’ve been fixing fences, clearing garbage and overgrowth from the woods, improving our 13 acres of trails, installing an off-grid solar system, and bringing neglected parts of the property back into use. We began selling eggs in February 2025, and our sheep are now part of the work of managing the pasture. We also have plans for sunflower plantings where visitors can walk, take photographs, and pick flowers.
The camping and glamping plans remain part of what we’re building here. We’re taking the time to address the land’s practical needs so we can create comfortable places to stay while preserving the woods and the quiet that drew us here.

What we're not
At LittleBird Acres, we’re not selling a picture-perfect, Instagram-ready fantasy farm. We are the furthest thing from that. What you see is what you get. It's raw, real, and a work in progress. We're filthy dirty every day. We spent a full year removing buried diaper mounds, a battery graveyard, and acres of rusty wire. We spent over a year getting rid of downed trees and extensive debris from Hurricane Helene. Sometimes there's fire. Sometimes we bleed. Sometimes we fight to keep predators away from our animals. Sometimes we're too late. Sometimes we have to walk 400 yards through the woods back to the barn for tools to take apart the blade from the DR mower because sneaky buried barbed wire gets tangle up in it, again, and then again, then put it back together just to get the mower back to the barn.
I've definitely never gathered eggs in a linen dress and we don't have a chandelier in the chicken coop. We have dust in there, and shavings (and a lot of happy chickens).
We've made mistakes, like that time the first winter when I was clearing brush and I put my hands all over this interesting, viney, snake-like root that was growing up the side of a tree and it turns out it was winter poison ivy. Hey, we're from Florida and had never see what mature poison ivy looks like in the winter. And it turns out that I'm part of the 10-15% of people who are extremely allergic to poison ivy.
But it's part of the process of learning how to BE on a piece of the Earth and live with it, not on it, and how to bring it back to health, and how to be healthy with it. We're earning what the land needs. Learning how to be quiet in a place and listen to what it is trying to tell us. Every Band-aid and setback is part of our journey toward understanding what this land wants us to do for it, day by messy day. We're here for it and we hope you will be, too!

about us
LittleBird Acres was originally the vision of two Florida dreamer nerds who have been farm-adjacent during various parts of their lives.
Tony is a mechanical engineer and FAA-Part 107-certified drone pilot who runs FiveMedia Real Estate Photography in Upstate South Carolina. He grew up playing with motors and machines and building catapults out of legos. Dawn is a writer who grew up on Ralph Moody books.
They've been married a long time and enjoy witnessing the progress and growth of their five grown kids. They're pretty durned happy.
