Rusty Anchor Farm

Where's Rusty Anchor Farm?

We have moved and then moved again. We really loved our farm in North Carolina but as a military family life is unpredictable and opportunities arise. We have been relocated to Naples, Italy. We aren't ready to give up Rusty Anchor Farm, so we will be back. Until then I will share experiences and ideas I come across in beautiful Italy. Ciao!

🐮 🐷 🐔

While the patch is officially closed, please come Saturday and help yourself to free pumpkins! Chickens and livestock love these fall treats and they are good for them as well. And from 9-12, come pick up your sweet treats from Debbie Joyce (specialty popcorns and danishes) and Bonnie Bell (cheesecakes and muffins). They’ll be joined by Floyd Layden and his fresh-from-the-North Carolina-coast seafood.

First time canning preserves 😋! The farm kids enjoyed harvesting the trees and vines. Fig butter was easy peasy but the NC grape jam was a labor of love.

Our sweet steer found his forever farm this week. We are sad to say goodbye to his sweet little pasture moos and kisses, but couldn’t be happier for the home and family he’s moved onto.
