We're growing something completely new on our farm!


Hello Reader,

If you’ve been following our personal journey here at Antiquity Oaks for a while, you know that this farm has always been a place of production. For 24 years, we’ve worked the land, milked goats, made cheese and soap, and lived deliberately by the rhythms of the seasons.

But lately, I’ve been reflecting on something important.

The greatest thing this farm ever grew wasn’t our organic food or our handcrafted goat milk soap. It was the profound, restorative healing that happens to your nervous system when you step away from the noise of the modern world and just breathe here.

As a recovering workaholic myself, I know exactly what deep, chronic burnout feels like. I know how rare it is to find a space where absolutely nothing is expected of you.

That is why we are opening our gates to build a true wellness sanctuary: The Antiquity Oaks Reset.

This coming Wednesday morning, June 10th, we are officially launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund our very first luxury, glamping-style canvas wall tent, nestled right next to our peaceful pond-side pavilion.

Our official campaign and booking calendar don’t go live until Wednesday, but our public Pre-Launch Page just went live minutes ago.

Why should you click that button right now? Because we are a small family farm, our summer availability for stays and private experiences is incredibly limited. When we launch on Wednesday, rewards like The Quiet Escape (1-night stays), The Slow Living Sanctuary (3-day immersive workshop retreats), and The Goat Soiree (private group pasture sessions) will be grabbed on a first-come, first-served basis.

By clicking “Notify me on launch” today, Kickstarter will automatically drop a direct link into your inbox the exact second our page goes live Wednesday morning. You’ll get the absolute first pick of the rewards before the public launch.

It takes two seconds, costs nothing, and helps us build the early momentum we need to make this sanctuary a reality.

Thank you for being such an integral part of the Antiquity Oaks community, whether it's been a couple of weeks or two decades. I can’t wait to welcome you to the pond.

With gratitude,

Deborah

Hello Reader, Are your goats stomping their feet or chewing at their legs more than usual? Chorioptes mites are easy to overlook in the beginning, but untreated infestations can lead to worsening skin irritation and hair loss. Want to save money and eliminate toxins by making your own laundry detergent? You've probably seen lots of recipes and opinions online about homemade laundry detergent and maybe even horror stories such as homemade detergents ruining washing machines. After trying...

Hello Reader, Last Tuesday, I had cataract surgery and it has taken a lot more time for my vision to recover than I expected. I was unable to check my email at all for several days and I have not been able to catch up with everything I’ve missed in the past week. If you have sent me an email in the last seven or eight days and not heard back just reply to this email to let the team know and they will make sure I see your message. The second surgery will be June 16 and in the meantime, I have...

Hello Reader, I am writing this over the weekend because when you're reading it on Tuesday morning, I will be in cataract surgery. I'm not sure how soon my eyes will be ready to stare at a computer screen again, so if you send me a message within the next couple days, you might be hearing from one of my teammates rather than me. 🐐🐑🐔🌿 Deworming goats correctly is about more than choosing the strongest product.
