Byrd's Nest Box Farm

Founded in 2020, the farm began in Maryland as a small but intentional space rooted in ancestral growing practices and cultural memory. In time, that calling led Falani Spivey back to her family’s ancestral land in Louisburg, North Carolina, soil first stewarded by her great-grandparents more than a century ago. What began as a farm has grown into a living expression of heritage, healing, and hope.

Falani blends ancestral wisdom with innovative agricultural practices, cultivating heritage crops such as natural seeded watermelons, heirloom okra, collard greens, and exotic peppers. Her work extends beyond the field into community education, cultural preservation, and food sovereignty, ensuring that agricultural knowledge is not lost but shared freely across generations.
