Five hours of Helene hell turned their fields into flood plains, mangled steel tunnels into modern art sculptures and, sadly, drowned 40 chickens and turkeys.<\/p>\n

Driving the back roads to Wild East Farm in Marion, I passed landslides, shattered trees and grey boulders holding rivers and cliffs in place like fragile stitches. Nature certainly reminded us who\u2019s in charge. But what I found at the farm, with Lyric East as my guide, was not destruction but devotion.<\/p>\n

In 2022, their five-year farming dream began with a blank canvas. Where horse paddocks once stood now grows nourishing food, each decision made with care and tracked to learn what truly makes a difference.<\/p>\n

But what makes Wild East Farm special isn\u2019t just the soil\u2014it\u2019s the soul behind it. It\u2019s about two people, Lyric and her husband Noah, who turned their homesteading practice into a living, breathing partnership with the land. They grow food, yes\u2014some of the best garlic I\u2019ve ever tasted\u2014but they also grow community. Fifty percent of their harvest supports places like Mother Earth Food and Equal Plates Project. Helene cut them off from Asheville and their partners, but Noah drove two hours each way to deliver hurricane relief: over 600 pasture-raised chickens, several hundred pounds of pork and nearly 1,000 pounds of vegetables. Lyric, in her role as director, relocated the entire RAD Farmers Market\u2014twice\u2014without cell service or power, driving 30 minutes to turn a parking lot into her mobile office. That\u2019s love in action.<\/p>\n

Even in sharing tragedy, the sparkle never fully leaves her eye. As we meander around the farm, one moment she\u2019s grieving the drowned turkeys, the next she\u2019s laughing about being \u201csnack mom,\u201d keeping Warren Wilson College volunteers fueled with mid-field munchies. While she\u2019s deeply invested in making their farm stable and sustainable, she\u2019s also someone whose creativity bubbles up daily to show what living in relationship with the land looks like.<\/p>\n

That creativity lives through her photographs of the land, paintings on the barn walls and the hand-painted dresses she wears while nurturing life between tomato rows and thunderclouds. Her philosophy of sharing online is like planting seeds\u2014not scattered and daily for attention, rather seasonal and monthly with intention.<\/p>\n

And yet, what stings most is that when stores were closed, people lined up. One person paid $50 for a cabbage out of sheer gratitude. But just as the floodwaters receded back to the river, so too did the farmers market crowds to the grocery stores.<\/p>\n

Still, the farm endures; the land flourishes. The food is nourishing, but the deeper harvest is in their data. Every year brings more tests, tracked metrics, all part of a greater intention: to show other farmers what\u2019s possible. Not lip service, hard facts. This isn\u2019t just about their success. It\u2019s about sharing the blueprint for regeneration, so more hands can return to the land with hope, skill and proof that it works for the benefit of everyone\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

As Lyric walked me to my car, the sky split in two\u2014dark clouds on one side, golden sunlight on the other. It felt like a painting. Her smile, weathered and wide, said everything: \u201cIt\u2019s a good life.\u201d<\/p>\n
