You Are Invited

The Happy Berry is hosting a “Ring of Fire” demonstration - We want to invite all our customers to learn about Biochar at The Happy Berry
When? May 20, 2025 at 10 AM until approximately 3 PM.
Where? On Farm, 510 Gap Hill Road, Six Mile 2C 29682
Participants can feel free to attend part or all of the program.

10 AM - Starting the “Ring of Fire” kiln (big bonfire) that will go about an hour until it settles into bed coals at about 11:00. Introduction to a presentation by Daniel Hettinger which will be about 45 minutes to an hour, by me. Feeding the Kiln from 11 until 2, finally the quenching process and making access to the charcoal. We hope to be done by 3 PM. Also Dr. Juan Melgar has research plots at the farm where char treatments were set up several years ago that will be available for viewing.

Today there is a conflict between Prophets and Wizards. * The prophets believe humanity must stay within ecological limits of our planet as demonstrated by science. The wizards believe that through science and discovery that humanity can solve our future problems with technology. Future problems include: How are we going to feed 10 billion people by 2050; have enough water for those 10 billion people as well as agriculture; how will we provide energy for people and jobs; and how will we avoid the ravages of climate change. The problems are inter-related. Certainly the wizards are making progress on all these fronts as well as the prophets through science.

Perhaps this demonstration of the “Ring of Fire” ** will bring the sides closer together. The demonstration is about renewing our fertile soils of the southeast to what they were 500 years ago.

*See book “The Prophets and the Wizards” by Charles Mann 2018
** The Ring of Fire kiln was developed to address the issue of forestry waste

Hope you can join us!

We love it when you bring your own containers.

CAUTION - Please wear shoes with good tread.
Please no sandles or flip flops. The terrain is uneven, and in places, sometimes steep. Please wear shoes with good tread for walking around the farm. See our Picking Tips

Speed limit is 6 miles per hour....
For your own safety as well as others -
Please drive slowly and carefully.

BYOB – Bring-your-own-bucket
We love it when you bring your own buckets. If you have extra plastic buckets or quart cups, we would welcome these donations to the cause.  We can wash and sanitize them and they will be "good to go" for another round.

Parking Tips 
We ask our workers to park at the top of the driveway in order to save parking down near the old farm house for you!  That means that seeing cars at the top does not mean you have to walk in.  If we are really crowded we will have someone at the top to direct parking.  With that said, please note that trailers or RV types of vehicles must park at the top of the driveway in the first parking area.  They should not be taken down to the house because there is not enough room to turn them around.

Preferred method of payment
We love Cash!  We also accept checks, and Visa or Mastercard debit/credit cards.  We are hoping that you will all continue to use cash or checks as much as possible. 

We are now mobile-friendly!
In 2016 we posted our new mobile friendly website. Please let us know if you find any bumps! We would love your input.

Dog Policy
Please leave your pets at home.
We love dogs but it is best not to bring dogs to the farm. We cannot allow dogs in the fields and the parking area is too hot to leave pets in the car. If you cannot avoid having your dog with you, please plan for a member of your group to stay with the dog; stay out of the fields (no one wants berries that were...ah..sprayed); carry doggie bags for the unmentionable; and keep the dog on a 6 foot (or shorter) leash.

More to Look Forward to - Eventually
We no longer have the Japenese Mulberries (taken out by Sudden Wilt disease),
and the Goji berries did not work out.
We have added Giradia mulberries and Jujubes.
And, as always, we will continue tinkering with ways we can lower our impact on the environment,
up our harvest productivity, maintain profitability so we can stay in business,
and better serve our community.
Ask Walker for details and/or Stay tuned for updates!
