Our Vision
The Wild Fern Project exists to create a space where people, animals, and nature thrive together. We are dedicated to building a sustainable, regenerative farm that heals both the land and the community.
Our Vision is to transform this 8-acre farm into a flourishing oasis with food forests, eco-retreats, and animal therapy programs. By teaching regenerative farming and sustainable practices, we aim to inspire individuals and families to create harmony between people and the earth.
What We Do
The Wild Fern Project is more than a farm - it's a living classroom and a hub for transformation. We regenerate the land through innovative farming techniques like soil restoration and food forest cultivation. We welcome the community to participate in workshops, animal therapy programs, and eco-friendly practices that promote mental, physical, and emotional well-being. By combining hands-on education with a focus on environmental stewardship, we're building a stronger, healthier future for the earth and it's people.
Who We Are
The Wild Fern Project is a family-driven labor of love, founded by Amanda and James Malarkey. Together, they’ve created a space where nature, community, and education thrive. Amanda, a mother to three daughters; Daisy, Jewel, and Sahara, and two farm doodles; Bodhi and Dash, brings her passion for design, yoga, and permaculture to the heart of the project. Having traveled the world studying sustainable practices, Amanda leads with a vision of healing the land and empowering the community. James collaborates closely with Amanda to bring their shared dream to life, while Amanda’s mother, Renia, contributes her skills to daily farm life, making cheese and caring for Fuji, the family’s third doodle.
The Wild Fern Project is a true reflection of family, collaboration, and a shared commitment to a brighter future.
