Red Earth Farm is home to Janisse Ray & Raven Waters. Janisse is a well-known environmental activist and author. My family came to know her when her first book was published and we’ve always been honored to call her a friend. (Ecology of a Cracker Childhood; Wild Card Quilt; Pinhook; Drifting into Darien; and The Seed Undergroundare among her works.) Raven, originally from western New York, oversees the operations of the farm and is an accomplished potter and artist.

At the heart of Red Earth Farm is the beautifully restored circa-1850 Pearson Farmhouse.

The farm is primarily for Janisse and Raven’s personal use, though they do limited retail with vegetables and livestock.
