Greetings from Didaskalos Farm! Our farm name comes from the Greek word “Didaskalos”. The word in its simplest form means Teacher. Now anyone who has ever farmed/homesteaded small scale or large knows that farmers are not lacking in measurable intelligence as perceived by some, but we can be quite a stubborn lot. :-). Given that fact we, by personal experience have grown to love simple organic, sustainable, regenerate farming, artisan baking and just plain uncomplicated, simple living. All of which does require a lot of learning or unlearning should I say! 😉😉 Thankfully God has blessed the crazy person behind the dream :-) with the ability to lovingly transfer this knowledge simplistically as I try and teach many practical things. Not a day goes by that I am not humbled and blessed to take the name of “Didaskalos” to represent this small farming endeavor and myself as well. And if you have had the opportunity to interact personally with me (Elizabeth) you know I am all about sharing the knowledge learned with others. On the flip side of that comes listening and learning as well. I take all three responsibilities very seriously around here. This is a REAL woman driven, working small American farm/Bake shop practicing sustainable, regenerative agriculture and the ancient art of simple bread making.
We are officially NEW COUNTRY ORGANICS newcountryorganics.com authorized retailers. We can now place feed orders and have feed directly delivered to our Farm here in Donalds, SC. We have placed our first order so if anyone is looking for a New Country product please message the Farm. I have a lot to work out regarding my inventory and price points. Shipping costs really set the price point. We want to get his organic feed to as many people as possible so trying to save every penny we can. Please pass the word. We accept cash, Venmo, Zelle and Paypal for payments. We will be purchasing feed at least monthly. I will post a current price list sometime this weekend. 5/5
We have a lovely A2/A2 95% grass fed Jersey cow named Lissa for sale. We are setting her price @ $3500 firm. Serious inquiries please. See our Foundation Jersey page on this website for more information.
Einkorn wheat is the grain of choice around here. I use only organically grown products here and leaven all of my bread products with my own sour dough starter that I have had for well 8 years now. Supporting USA made products is very important to me so I strive to source most of my products and supplies from USA suppliers. Small American businesses and family farms are a priority.
Chickens- We have a small flock of chickens of varying breeds with four rather rare breeds added. Lavender Wyandottes, Cream Legbars, and Bielefelders “BEE-LAY-FELDER”and Black Copper Marans and Black Australorpes. We will be adding large Coturnix quail soon (just loaded the incubator) .
Ducks- We have a small flock of Silver Appleyard ducks that we enjoy immensely. I am hoping to add some new genetics to increase the odds of better ducks later this year.
Dairy Goats- Our Oberhasli goats have grown well here. We are deciding if we will breed in the Fall.
Our Corgi herding dogs will celebrate their landmark birthdays in August. This breeding pair will be the foundation of our future Corgi Farm/Family dog breeding stock late in 2025

We have been filled with excitement as to what the Lord has accomplished for us this year. Our ongoing focus is to continue to have a farm that not only is a blessing to so many folks but a farm that truly represents the simple but absolutely beautiful life in Christ. Farming the land right requires is rich, healthy soil that produces good food for both our bodies and the bodies of our animals we raise here. My small garden beds are filled with rich, nutrient dense compost from my labors over the past nine years here. This farm when purchased was not organic by any standard. The pastures were filled with heavy briars and infested with deer ticks. You could not walk in them without injuring yourself. However, nine years later things are so much better, have I gotten to where I need or want to be absolutely not! But I am encouraged to push on and trust that God has the best plan for me. So please consider coming to experience what I have to offer, I can teach you how to bake with Einkorn! Make delicious sourdough bread, gather eggs, milk goats or a cow, trim hooves, the list goes on and on! There are so many exciting things to learn on a farm! Please make sure you call first because life gets interesting around here! You won't be disappointed! Don't forget to inquire about what is available in my Cottage Bake Shop or Farm store (please check the hours we are open as they change with the seasons). We are excited to be adding freshly roasted (to order) organic Peruvian coffee and organic tea blends. New things will be added throughout the seasons....
