Janie Dickens grew up with fond memories of summers at Healing Green Farms in Willow Springs, NC, where her grandparents taught her the joys of farming, family, and community. Although her parents often joked that they had “escaped the farm” to pursue suburban life, vacations meant returning to these rolling fields that always felt like home. Janie spent those lazy afternoons riding in her grandpa’s pickup truck, savoring orange push-pops to cool down from the North Carolina heat, and learning the rhythms of planting and harvesting from her grandmother.

When Janie inherited the farm, she was determined to preserve its legacy as a place of warmth and togetherness. Today, Healing Green Farms is not just a family treasure; it’s a cherished venue where new families make memories of their own—whether celebrating weddings, baby showers, or private events. Janie is grateful to see the farm continue to thrive in the Willow Spring community, bringing people together just as it did for her family. So, when you visit Healing Green Farms, you’re not just stepping onto a piece of history—you’re coming home.
