The farm is operated by three generations of the Carpenter and Childers families, who have lived and worked together on the land since 1997. Originally a strawberry farm, it was transformed into a sustainable, all-natural farm after Milton and Madge Carpenter retired from their York County ranch. Their daughter Carolyn and son-in-law Wayne moved in with Mrs. Carpenter, and their son Travis and wife Stacy began raising livestock, laying the foundation for Old Paths Farm. Today, the farm continues to thrive as both a source of high-quality, natural food and a cherished event space, where guests can enjoy the peaceful beauty of green fields, blue skies, and fresh air.
