Provisions for the porch and the fire

Eggs, thick-cut bacon, stone-ground grits, biscuits, and jam from farms down the road, delivered to your door at dawn.

Everything you need for one skillet supper over the fire: seasoned protein, vegetables, cornbread mix, and the cast-iron to cook it in.

A half-gallon of proper Southern sweet tea and two jars of seasonal preserves put up by the county's canning circle.

Graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, and hand-whittled roasting sticks. The good part of the night.

A generous bundle of seasoned oak, split and stacked by your fire ring before you arrive. Add a few.

A spare set of soft sheets and thick towels, handy for longer stays or an extra guest.

A 90-minute walk of the grounds with a local historian, tracing the families who built this place and why it mattered. All proceeds support the heritage fund.

Slow morning flow on the meadow as the fog lifts. Mats provided. Coffee after.
