The name refers to the 16-acre farm supplying much of what lands on your plate, which is either a charming detail or a lot of pressure for some soil. This is a three-course New American restaurant just north of Greenville, with hardwood floors, wood-beam ceilings, and the relaxed, unhurried feeling of somewhere that doesn't need to hustle. The menu turns with the seasons, and the pastry side earned a James Beard semifinalist nod in 2024.

The front room doubles as a wine shop, and if a bottle catches your eye, the team will open it for you right there. That sets the tone for this snug New American dinner spot, where a short menu of nearly ten dishes pulls from local farms and lands on things like hand-rolled rigatoni or steak over Carolina Gold rice. The Michelin Guide has it selected. Bring someone who reads labels for fun.
