Heritage Harvest

Heritage Harvest Farms is a seventh-generation, family-run North Carolina Century Farm focused on restoring historic farmland and strengthening community connections through sustainable agriculture. Operating across the Wilson Place in Pfafftown and Flynt Farm in Germanton, North Carolina, the farm continues a legacy that spans more than 150 years of agricultural stewardship.

Rooted in deep family history, the land has supported generations through a wide variety of agricultural uses, including dairy, tobacco, livestock, grains, fruit orchards, and vegetable production. After a period of dormancy beginning in the 1980s, the farms have been revitalized with a renewed mission: to restore, protect, and sustainably utilize the land for future generations.

Today, Heritage Harvest Farms produces mushrooms, honey, heirloom produce, flowers, and other specialty agricultural products. The farm is also home to an apiary, hardwood forest resources, and wellness-focused land experiences, blending traditional farming with modern regenerative and community-centered practices. Several pastures also support a horse rescue, providing a safe and permanent home for rescued animals.

The farm is food safety certified, NCDA&CS approved, and operated by licensed foragers and certified beekeepers. This strong focus on compliance and responsible production ensures that all products meet high standards for safety, quality, and sustainability.

Heritage Harvest Farms is operated by Drew and Claire Parrish, who met at Appalachian State University and later returned to agriculture after careers off the farm. Their shared passion for farming, ecology, and community development led them to specialize in complementary areas—Claire focusing on flowers and field crops, and Drew focusing on mushrooms and beekeeping.

At its core, Heritage Harvest Farms is committed to honoring its multi-generational legacy while actively restoring and improving the land. Every aspect of the farm reflects a balance between tradition, innovation, and a deep respect for the communities it serves.
