Who We Are

How we got here

We're proud of this

Small City Farm is owned and operated by Kim Shaw & Rohan Gibbs. We started growing & selling vegetables from our house in the Cotswold (that's the picture above, taken from our roof) neighborhood of Charlotte in 2007, after Kim was laid off from her job as Director of Catering at a country club. In 2010 we purchased our current property

We operate two seasons of CSAs, we sell to the foodhub, Freshlist who, in turn offers our products to restaurants & retail customers, and we run a Saturday Farm Stand during the peak season (usually from May-December). We farm on three acres of land and have about 35 chickens. We also have eleven beehives, which are owned and maintained by Bizzy Bee. This article from Eater Carolinas by Stephanie Burt tells our story the best.

In 2020 we were the subject of an Episode of Carolina Impact - my wonderful friend Suzette Rhee was the Executive Producer - we're both really proud of this piece.

Writer and podcaster Stephanie Burt came to the Farm for a dinner we held in the summer of 2022. She then graciously interviewed me on her terrific podcast, The Southern Fork, it was so much fun - as soon as she finished recording I was ready to do it again!
