About us.

Our story starts right here in Fruitland, with founder Amber Johnson, who grew up running through the pastures of Fruitland Farms and attending Fruitland Elementary School just down the road. In 2009, life came full circle when the opportunity arose to purchase a small piece of paradise along the beautiful Fruitland Creek. And just like that, The Farm at Fruitland Creek was born.

Fast-forward to 2020, when fate (and a little hard work) brought us a second property,  also nestled along the same scenic creek, just one mile from our original farm. What started as one family’s deep love for the land has grown into a thriving, joy-filled farm rooted in legacy, laughter, and a whole lot of animal cuddles.

Around here, we believe life’s too short not to smile, and our animals agree. Whether it’s a mini donkey stealing the show at your wedding, a Highland cow posing for selfies, or a farm tour that leaves you grinning ear to ear, Fruitland Creek Farms is all about sharing simple, genuine joy.
