Freewoods Farm

“Looking for a unique experience that was authentic and doubled as a learning opportunity led us to Freewoods Farm. We are definitely going back! They have consumables for purchase like fresh produce and sugar cane syrup if you catch them during the right time of year. This is also an even space for weddings, family reunions, and so much more. They have live stock and a nature trail for the animal and outdoor enthusiasts in your party. The tour was enlightening and informative. I recommend it for families of all ages. The cost is very reasonable. Jon who works on the farm is really nice and patient when explaining the history of the farm and his family. Enrich your time at Myrtle Beach and explore a local farm with a long and storied history in SC. Ask them about the annual schedule for events!”

“This place means a lot to me. Just knowing my Ancestors laid down the foundation for us to have the opportunity to see this establishment develop into what it it is today, is mind blowing. From a educational standpoint its priceless, students can learn so much about our history here in the Burgess community, by way of Myrtle Beach. Also, people can learn about agriculture, the ecosystem, see some farm animals, purchase fresh produce, and as well enjoy the beauty of the farm. It's a much see place when you visit Myrtle Beach. Just a small piece of the African American History in a small community call Burgess.”

“This venue was absolutely amazing for our wedding! My wife and I chose it last year, and from start to finish everything went smoothly. Mr. O’Neal is incredibly kind and welcoming, and he shares the rich history of the venue, which makes the experience even more special. The space itself is breathtaking, with a beautiful rustic charm and an unforgettable atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day!”

“I have had a tour of the farm and learned the history from proprietor Mr. O'Neal Smalls and attended many dinners prepared by the Winningham Family and served as well, very interesting farm & history Also was honored to help strip the cane for the Homestyle Syrup they make right on the premises Its good too”

“A very special place. This place represents African American History, this represents Black Love, and this place represents humanity. Close your eyes and travel back to when free black people survived and thrived living a sustainable lifestyle.”

“Great little educational farm and event venue. Michael Alston was a great host and guide for our event (even though he said it was his first time and that his uncle usually handles that stuff).”

“This was a great way to see and hear about a historical family farm.”

“We attended a family wedding here. The property is lovely. The barn was beautiful inside for a rainy day wedding! My only drawback was finding the venue. Being out of towners we found the site’s directions confusing. We didn’t have GPS so we were lost and late for the ceremony.”
