It’s Never Too Late To Tell A New Story

At Second Act Farms, we see possibility and promise in all things — big and small, creatures and humans alike. Here, fresh starts are born. 

Journalists-turned-farmers, Alex Granados and Mandy Locke found the footing to begin anew at their southern Alamance County home. That reset and renewal is a gift they want to share. From exonerees at their release to a new day with a fresh cup of coffee, our farm is the perfect place to center and search for due north.

Come stay at our tiny home, visit Second Act Farms Coffee Co. trailer or get involved in the Joseph Sledge Houses of Healing project. Our new chapter includes you. 

The Farm

We are a safe haven where animals thrive. Come spend time with our beloved donkeys and goats, and enjoy the cheerful chatter of chickens and ducks as you meander around the farm. Take a peaceful nature walk through our scenic grounds to decompress, reconnect with nature, and feel inspired by the simple beauty all around.

Fresh Coffee, Fresh Start

Begin the day with a jolt of our carefully brewed and served specialty drinks and signature drip coffee: Farm Fuel. 

The newest adventure for these risk takers. 

Follow us @SecondActFarms for location, hours and special drinks. 

Joseph Sledge House of Healing

Come witness and be a part of our biggest commitment to second acts. In partnership with the North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence, Mandy and Alex created the Joseph Sledge Houses of Healing for a wrongly convicted man or woman. Upon his or her release, an exoneree will move into a tiny home on our farm and work to find his or her new chapter. 

The Dolly

Come refresh at The Dolly, an Airbnb tiny house we named in honor of the queen of storytelling. Romp our woods, visit goats and donkeys, cast a fishing line or float in our pond. A wood burning stove keeps the Dolly cozy during winter stays; the cedar insulated walls keep the tiny house cool in the summer.
