Geoffrey Long of Long Story Farms Long Story Farms is a family run farm in Newberry, South Carolina. Our story started with the pain of cancer taking loved ones. We felt food was part of the problem. That coupled with a dream of self sufficient living took us from a small backyard garden with 6 chickens to a farmstead that is growing into a true farm enterprise. Long Story Farms' motto “with prudence and thanksgiving” encapsulates our goal to heal the earth through sustainable agriculture and to honor the lives of the animals we raise. Through eating close to the earth we believe we can heal our bodies while building community and creating a healthier relationship with food. Geoffrey works during the day as a finance guy but farms on the weekends, assisted by his wife and capable children who all still live on the farm. He is passionate about food, building and fixing things and loves to read when he has time.
