REBEL FARMS Permaculture on 1/3 acre in NSB, FL Cultivating intentional living, community & food forestry. Zone 9 All of this is done through permaculture methods.

Our Farm - Our goal is to prove that ordinary people living in ordinary homes within ordinary neighborhoods can grow extraordinary amounts of organic food with minimal effort. Even the smallest plots of land are capable of sustaining multiple fruit trees that can sequester carbon, create habitats for multiple species and pollinators as well produce locally grown food that, if done at scale, can he

lp strengthen the food security of our community. We are doing this by actively experimenting with over 100 species of fruit trees to test the viability of their success in the Central Florida region specializing in Avocado, Banana and Citrus cultivars as well as more familiar Apple, Peach and Cherry cultivars that are, contrary to popular belief, suited to thriving in Florida’s subtropical climate. Our Vision - Our goal is to acquire a larger farm where we can plant vast food forests and botanical gardens, based on the permaculture system, where the community can come to learn, eat and be inspired to plant their own self-sustaining food forests. A place where local growers and makers can sell or trade their goods increasing the ability for our community to eat and buy locally. A place where classes and workshops can be hosted to educate children and adults alike on how to grow their own food, raise their own animals and live more sustainably and intentionally.

It’s no secret that we’re not the biggest fans of Hallmark holidays. But it’s hard to be cynical about universally celebrating the mothers who literally brought us all into this world. But these kinds of holidays also carry many clichés and undue pressure to buy, buy, buy—to buy the flowers (probably imported from Colombia), the jewelry and the breakfast in bed - you know the rest. The pressure to post the most adorable and polished photos and videos of our children portraying the angelic little creatures that we want the world to think they are...

That’s how I tried to film this video for Maggie... what better Mother’s Day gift than a glossy, ultra-cute video of Quincy being an angel telling the camera and her how much he loves her and is grateful for her - all whilst picking flowers from our garden for her. Welp Quincy is anything but cliche. And this is what parenthood looks like when you have a three-year-old who is also the son of a non-conforming, anti-establishment anarchist... Sorry, Mags.

But in all seriousness, to all the mothers out there. Thank you. Two months ago I watched Maggie give birth to our second child and I’m still coming down from the high and the wonder of it all. You’ll never hear it as much as you need to, you’ll never get thanked as much as you deserve and you’ll never, ever get back all that you put into it. But it is worth it. And we, the living, are all in your debt. Happy Mother’s Day from our homestead to yours.

It all started in December 2019 when we met. A month later Maggie bought a house. And then February 2020 everything began to change.

The pandemic hit and had us asking the real questions: What kind of life do we actually want to live? And would that life survive if the rest of the world changed drastically?

We moved in together and got to work.

Maggie grew up on a homestead in Rhode Island - growing veggies, raising a few wily animals, learning the land early. Tyson spent years across Central America working on farms and communities, growing his own food (and of course, flowers). Together we dreamed of building a bigger farm with a large community. But life had other plans.

So we did what you do when the big dream isn’t available yet... we built it right here on our ⅓ acre in New Smyrna Beach. In the woods, no less. Every single inch turned into food production.

We thought selling produce and eggs was part of the plan. Turns out we have WAY more fun giving it away… on tours, to neighbors, to anyone curious. We’d rather teach you to grow your own food.
That little plot has now grown into 20+ gardens across our community - what we call the “s” in Rebel Farms - and we’re just beginning.

The community, now called our Agrihood, started as a vision. Now it’s moving faster than we imagined. Every time a house hit the market on our street, the right family found us (or we found them). We now have a tribe of 5 families, 10 kids under 5, and their friends here every single day. Bringing back the American neighborhood we feel was lost a long time ago.
We’ve survived three natural disasters in 4 years and rebuilt every time. That resilience is exactly why we have so much success with our gardens. We know what survives the worst. We know how to grow trees that last.

People come to us for a beautiful productive design - or because they’ve tried, failed, and need someone to show up with LOVE, mission, and zero judgment.
Let’s get growing. 🌱 📸 photos by
