Welcome to Sycamore Oaks Farm

A veteran-owned family farm in Rock Hill, South Carolina

We’re Mike and Libby Morrell. This is our first-generation farm on 50 acres in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and we’re building it one season at a time with a lot of care, curiosity, hard work, and plenty of mistakes along the way.

Mike is a Marine Corps veteran, and that background shapes a lot of how we approach the farm. Discipline, responsibility, and taking care of what’s been entrusted to you are values that carry over directly to how we care for this land and the animals that live here.

Our focus is simple: raise healthy food, take good care of the land, and take a historic dairy farm that had been neglected for more than 40 years and slowly bring it back to life by building productive soil and raising healthy food.

How we’re approaching the land

We’re leaning into regenerative practices because we want this land to be healthy and productive for the long haul. That means focusing on soil health, improving ground cover, and building systems that support the land instead of working against it.

Over time we’ve taken more responsibility for the food we put in our own bodies and in our children’s bodies. The more we paid attention to ultra-processed foods and long ingredient lists, the more we felt called to do something different.

Along the way we discovered that we genuinely love the process. We love the relationship we’re building with our food and our livestock, the responsibility of caring for animals well, and the peace of knowing we’re no longer supporting factory farming.

Livestock

Each species plays a role on the farm, and each one has helped us build a deeper relationship with the food we raise.

Farm tours and visits

One of the best parts of this journey has been meeting other farmers, homesteaders, and people who simply want to reconnect with where their food comes from.

If you'd like to visit, walk the farm, talk animals, or just compare notes, you're welcome here.
