Freewoods Farm is located in the Burgess Community of Myrtle Beach, SC and their mission is to "provide education, documentation, and preservation of the activities and practices" of farm life.

Freewoods Farm is a 40-acre living farm museum replicating life on small southern farms owned and or/operated by African-Americans between 1865-1900.

At the farm, they use authentic farm methods, tools, crops, animals, and buildings of the period to replicate life on the animal powered-farm.

Workers use mules and plows to cultivate, cook with wood, make syrup and soap, and harvest crops by hand.

The farm has tilled fields, grazing land, and farm buildings of the period, which include the main farmhouse, a smokehouse, livestock, tobacco, and storage barns.

In addition to going to the farm and learning about their history, they also rent out their main farmhouse for events such as weddings, anniversaries, corporate events, family reunions, and much more.

The farm also sells fresh fruits and vegetables year round every Friday, including their world famous organic cane syrup. The sugar can is grown on Freewoods Farm with no additives, preservatives, and is cooked in an open kettle. They begin the process of making the syrup in November.
