About Us
Our Humble Mission
Patient Wait is a long-time dream of a Jersey Girl exiled in South Carolina.
Along with her understanding husband/farm hand; they are building a Regenerative Farm and producing products that are good for you, and good for the environment.
Animal Welfare Approved
Patient Wait is proud to be celebrating 13 years certified by Animal Welfare Approved -- regarded as the most trusted food label in North America.
Committed to Local
We appreciate all our fans...but we remain fiercely local when it comes to our products. Holiday turkeys available for on-farm pick up as well as our pasture-raised livestock.
We do not have an "on-line farm store". Instead we prefer our customers getting to know us and old-fashioned human contact. Imagine that?!

FAQs
Q: What are your business hours?
A: Both farmers have J-O-B-S so we prefer that company lets us know before they show up like your brother-in-law. We recommend you plan on attending the Upstate Farm Tour.
Q: Do you do school tours?
A: Yes! We love them. Please call for available dates.
