Greetings! 2025 Update:
Corva Bella Farm offers a range of handcrafted products, all of which directly support the farm's daily operations.
- Floral blossom jelly season is about to begin. I forage and handcraft a variety of lovely floral jellies. These are made in small quantities and small batches. Some varieties sell out quickly!
- Cold process lard soap at this time is available, but variety is limited. As of mid January, I'm getting started on Spring inventory.
- Rosaries are crafted year round and custom work is welcome! My inventory is a bit low right now, but I hope to replenish it this winter.
- Fresh, local raw honey should be available again in May/June. So far, the bees are over-wintering well and if this trend continues, they'll be ready to get to work once the nectar flow begins!
Follow me on my Facebook page for up to date product announcements!
All handcrafted products can be shipped, or purchased via farm gate pickup. If you'd like to pick up, you needn't check out through the website. Just send me a message with what you'd like to purchase and we can arrange a pickup time.
About Corva Bella Farm
Corva Bella Farm is nestled in the Blue Ridge Foothills of South Carolina's "Golden Corner" in West Union, Oconee County, SC. My son and I established and built the farm from bare ground, in 2015 and it's been an incredible journey, but the farm direction changed in 2021 when my son enlisted in the US Air Force. Over a year of transition, I left behind our business of raising pastured pork, and breeding show quality registered Kunekune pigs (a rare breed of pig originally from New Zealand).
The farm is named after the small town of Corva in NE Italy (Friuli) where my Grandfather grew up. The name is also a nod to the many crows (corvids) that we seem to have attracted here.
My goals with the farm are to live simply and in tune with nature, and to abide a deep appreciation for the natural world and all of it's wonders with which our Creator has endowed us. Here amidst this beauty, one is called to slow down, to focus, to appreciate the quietness in between each moment.
I enjoy cooking, baking and exploring different types of food preservation and "the old ways" of doing things. I'm passionate about art, history, music and nature. All of this becomes apparent in the products that I craft, and in daily living on the farm.
Corva Bella is supported almost entirely by my handcrafting. I make foraged floral blossom jellies, fruit preserves, old fashioned cold process lard soap, and herbal skin salves & lip balms. I also craft unique modern-vintage style Rosaries, made from semi-precious stones, iridescent glass, and vintage bronze castings. All of these products are available here on this website.
If you are local and would like to pick up, you can also just send me a message with what you'd like to order and pay in person.
