Certified Garden Nursery and Wildlife Habitat - Clayton, NC
About Us
Eco-Conscious Wellness Homestead | Regenerative Agriculture | Sustainable Gardening | Food Forestry | Health & Wellness Welcome to Kindred Acres Homestead — a small, veteran-owned sanctuary on 3.5 beautiful acres in Clayton, NC, just outside Raleigh. Here, we live in rhythm with nature while teaching and practicing regenerative gardening, food forestry, and holistic wellness. We’re proud to be a Certified Naturally Grown farm, a Certified Wildlife Habitat through the National Wildlife Federation, a Certified Pollinator Pathway, and an official NC State Agritourism Site.
Rooted in Regeneration
At Kindred Acres, thousands of edible trees, shrubs, herbs, and native plants form the foundation of our growing permaculture-based food forest. We use no-till methods, biologically complete compost, and natural materials that come from — and return to — the land. No herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, or synthetic fertilizers here. Just thriving soil and the living web beneath our feet doing what nature does best.
Our land is home to medicinal and tea gardens, wildflower meadows for pollinators, a cozy cottage garden around the nut orchard, and annual edible gardens that feed both body and soul. We’ve restored eroded areas, built habitats, and created a peaceful sanctuary not only for us — but for the deer, foxes, beavers, birds, pollinators, and yes, our beloved pet chickens who call this place home.
