🌸 Upcoming Events
Foraged Flowers & Spring Farm Day (Redbud Jelly Class + MORE!)
Join us on the mountaintop for a slow, beautiful day of learning & creating. We’ll explore seasonal plants, gather responsibly, and turn what we find into something you can take home—plus time to connect, breathe, and enjoy the farm.
Mission Statement:
At Breath of Dawn, we cultivate connection, healing, and resilience through nature-based living. Nestled in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, our homestead grows thriving gardens, nurtures the land, and invites others to learn alongside us. Through sustainable practices, outdoor education, and compassionate animal care, we offer a space where individuals reconnect with the rhythms of nature and discover purpose through mindful, hands-on experiences.
FARM TOUR
2 hour hiking farm tour goes all the way down the mountain to the bottom of the property to view the old farmhouse/homestead area. We then hike all the way to the top of the property to view the personal garden and animal enclosures. Group inquiries welcome. $45 per person.
Please email for available and signup breathofdawnva@gmail.com.

What We Do
CLASSES

We provide lodging at a rural, real, working farm. You can stay at the farm immersing yourself in nature and the homesteading experience. Our overnight accommodations run from primitive camping to more modern lodging.
