Our Farming Philosophy
In 2022, we purchased 36 beautiful acres of land with a vision - to cultivate all-natural and organic products, minimizing chemical use in the farming process. We're proud to be certified in food safety and members of the Homegrown by Heroes Farmer Veteran Coalition. Farmer Darius and Farmer Meeka are currently honing their skills through an apprenticeship program at Center for Environmental Farming System at NC State. We're always learning, growing, and striving for excellence in all we do.
Feeding Our Community, One Crop at a Time
Our mission is simple - to feed our community wholesome, organic foods straight from our farm to your table. We're dedicated to diversifying our product range to cater to your every culinary craving. From vibrant veggies to juicy fruits, we've got it all. And as we grow, we have strategic plans to open a farm grocery store and an educational program to further empower and expand the black farmer imprint in the United States.
Join 12:03AM Farm
Meet the Family of 12:03AM Farm
At the helm of this adventure are Darius and Shameeka McKoy, retired Airforce veterans who've traded in their uniforms for overalls. Darius, a true country boy at heart, brings his Wilmington charm and knowledge of the land, while Shameeka, hailing from the bustling streets of Detroit, adds a unique urban twist to our farming story. Together, they're the dynamic duo driving the farm's success.
Our family wouldn't be complete without our two remarkable children. Shamar, our 19-year-old, is a freshman at the University of Mount Olive, studying to become a veterinarian. He's the future guardian of the farm animals, and he's determined to make sure they lead happy and healthy lives. Then there's Anaiah, our 13-year-old princess, who keeps our spirits high and our hearts warm. She's the joy that fills our days and brightens our fields and soon to study paralegal during high school and then law school.
When you choose 12:03AM Farm, you're not just supporting a farm; you're becoming part of our family. We're thrilled to have you on this journey with us as we nurture the land, harvest the best nature has to offer, and share it all with you. So, come on over, visit our farm, and let's grow together, one organic bite at a time.
Thank you for being a part of our story,
Darius, Shameeka, Shamar, and Anaiah McKoy
