Dinner Bell Farm NC A family farm growing veggies, fruit, eggs, and meat in Snow Camp, NC (Chapel Hill/Greensboro area). Our laying hens are all heritage breeds living on pasture.

Dinner Bell Farm is a small family owned and operated farm in beautiful southern Alamance County, NC. We grow a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, as well as pasture-raised laying hens. We sell directly to customers through our CSA with pick-up sites in Burlington, Elon, Graham, Snow Camp, and Saxapahaw. Our CSA newsletter features a fabulous salad recipe each week and a variety of delicious recipes for side and main dishes. We also sell at the North Park Farmers Market in Burlington on Tuesdays (3-6pm) and the Elon Farmers Market on Thursdays (3-6pm), as well as some local restaurants and groceries. Our produce is ALWAYS grown without the use of any synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. You can be assured that we are building healthy soils, caring for the watershed, and using natural practices which produce nutritionally dense – and delicious - vegetables. Produce grown this way not only tastes better, but is better for you and the planet! We move their coop every week to a fresh field. Their food is a non-GMO, high-grade ration which they supplement with lots of natural foraging and plenty of excess farm vegetables. Recent studies have found that real free-range eggs have less cholesterol and saturated fat, plus more vitamins A and E, beta carotene and polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. You will find the eggs exceptional in flavor with deep golden yolks indicating high nutrition. We are new to the area and putting down deep roots in this place – getting involved in local community projects, nourishing our neighbors and caring for the land. We host monthly Community Gatherings at the farm – potluck dinners with a farm tour and seasonal farm activity. We look forward to meeting you at the farm or around Alamance County!

When children encounter thrilling, slightly scary play situations, they practice critical thinking and motor skills in real time. A child deciding whether a branch will hold their weight is doing genuine risk assessment. A child choosing to jump from a height they’ve never tried before is testing their own limits and learning what their body can do.

The emotional benefits run deep. Coping with fear during play builds distress tolerance and emotional regulation, two skills children carry into adulthood. Parents in developmental research have noted something intuitive: children need to experience some fear, anxiety, and even minor pain during play to develop resilience for later-life challenges like interpersonal conflict and social stress. Learning to navigate situations that feel threatening but aren’t actually dangerous is how children avoid generalizing worry to everything around them. Some researchers believe a deficit of risky play may contribute to anxiety disorders for exactly this reason.

Risky play is any thrilling, exciting form of physical play that involves uncertainty and a chance of injury. Think tree climbing, running full speed downhill, or a group of kids wrestling in the grass. It sounds alarming, but developmental research consistently shows that children need these experiences to build resilience, manage fear, and develop physically. The key distinction: risky play isn’t reckless play. It’s child-chosen challenge with adult awareness in the background. (from ScienceInsights)

Fall is gorgeous here on the farm! I'm learning how to grow a small meadow of mostly perennial native wildflowers (thank you Mellow Marsh Nursery for a local seed mix). Emphasis on LEARNING! I learned I need to be timelier and more diligent about pulling the invasives early BEFORE they become a problem. Happy, though, that the vigorous perennials are competing!
