It’s been a long, bleak winter at Rebel Farms. Freezes wiped out many of the crops that managed to survive Hurricanes Ian & Nicole. But with a lot of hard work, research and better soil management the farm is coming to life. Our 60+ Avocado trees are full of flowers our 100+ citrus trees are […]

We’re so excited to have eggs to offer! And though having an abundance of fresh, organic eggs was always a goal, it’s only one of the benefits we receive from our hens. They’ve been serving other important roles on the farm such as eliminating almost ALL of our food waste whilst turning that waste into
It’s been a minute since we’ve posted. We’ve been hesitant as our entire property is currently a construction zone filled with fallen trees, building materials and enough holes in the ground one could confuse it with a WWI battlefield. On top of the flood we lost even more crops to an ill-timed freeze which damaged,

Fruit update. Thanks to all the hard work of our friends and families these fruit trees survived the hurricanes and flood. We’ve now replanted all the survivors and started planting new trees into the ground. Thank you again to all our tribe and supporters.
We have chickens again! Big shout out to @charleyschicks for helping us get a great mix of 12 laying hens. Can’t say enough good things about their operation, customer service and supply of non GMO feeds. We’re now one step closer to true food independence.

Sneak peak of our new chicken coop. We built this from the wreckage of what used to be our tree nursery (which was destroyed in the hurricane). More photos of the build and finished product coming soon.
Making progress on rebuilding the A-Frame. We took the first photo when there was 3 feet of flood water inside and still, it was beautiful. And it will be again. Thank you @josh.cemelich and the team at @abtmodern for donating your labor, skills and generosity to getting our guesthouse rebuilt arguably better than we did it the first time.

Been super busy restoring the farm. After the hurricane we realized how dangerous the invasive elms on our property had become. Plenty came down in the storm taking fruit trees with them and damaging our out buildings. We decided to cut practically all of them down. But the good news is for every tree that

We did it! Introducing baby Quincy. The last few weeks have been a blur. The hurricane. The flood. The recovery with the help of so many. 40+ hours of labor. A healthy son born at home on a stunningly beautiful Sunday afternoon. The pain. The euphoria. The fear. The trust. The destruction. The creation. The
