hello
We’re the Old Hen Farm. Follow along with us here or on Instagram as we share our day-to-day lives on the farm!
Welcome to the Old Hen Farm
We’re Dan and Consuelo Arroyo and we believe that with a vision and hard work anything is possible.
As a retired military family, we decided to grow our roots in the beautiful state of South Carolina. We started out on a 13-acre homestead and realized that we quickly outgrew our farm. So the search began and in March of 2019 we closed on this beautiful 78 acre farm in Buford Township, Lancaster, SC.
We love the homesteader lifestyle and believe in all the benefits that living off the land provides.
Follow our journey as we bring this farm back to life. We will be building our new home, expanding our farm business and plan to restore the original 1883 farmhouse.

Moses and Dixie have learned their roles as livestock guardians. Moses is living with the goats and Dixie is living with the KuneKune pigs.

We recently added KuneKune pigs to the farm. We hope to breed them when they are of breeding age. KuneKune pigs are pasture raised on grass and are an excellent source of red meat pork.
