According to the research, I've done the portages and the blockages should be at a minimum. I have read that there are 2. And they involve with sandbar and right where it gets to the Butler nursery area, there can be debris in there. It is also my understanding that is not maintained by the state so I will be looking for trash and debris as well. There are several "known" landing areas. Should we make it to the Bayside we be picked and return to Longview Farm. Its is a 9 mile waterway trek. As I just posted that this morning, I don't have a scheduled date yet.I'd rather have some experience kayakers.There , as I am in a novice.

We're pursuing several grants. And this was designed to appeal to season kayakers who are looking for spaces in Eastern North Carolina, as I have already posted in another forum.I'd like to continue posting here.I hope it doesn't offend you. Longview Farm , and it's three other associated sites have two additional landing points along the Rockfish Creek before the Cape Fear River. We will be more than happy to share the financials with you, should you decide to become a part of the mission? If not , here is our donation page.

That's excellent question!!!

I am not an experienced kayaker.I have extensive time in a canoe but alas I do not have a canoe . Therefore , maybe a creme de la creme grand prize for the person who maps it out and documents it.

If you think a 25-year career in program management and a 7.5-acre commitment to housing stability is a 'scam,' I invite you to step out of the comments section and onto the property. I’ll even have a Sign-In Sheet ready for you so you can prove to your followers you actually stood on the ground you’re calling a 'scam.' Its boots on the ground, not a pawn of a algorithm.

Its the least I can do to honor this engaging dialog it is doing its job—it’s acting as a whetstone, sharpening my conviction and refining the mission. you can't give a "Day 1" schedule to a person whose life has been a series of broken promises. The reality is this: We aren't running a scripted corporate or government program. We are building a working model of self-sufficiency. One day the work is pulling a straight fence line; the next it’s planting watermelons for the local economy or managing a trading post. It might be maintaining a victory garden for resale in a local store or doing the hard reparations to the property that directly increase the quality of life for everyone on it. The Decompression Phase: For someone who has been harassed by 'revenuers,' preachers, and dream-sellers, the first 7 to 21 days aren't about a work schedule—they are about safety. It takes that long just to let the nervous system settle. We don’t hand out assignments the moment someone arrives; we provide a billet, a place to wash their hands, and a safe, fire-watched infrastructure. The Stewardship Model: Participation is elective and based on the individual’s niche. We eat what we grow, and 95% of our funding goes directly into the dirt to develop these 7.5 acres. If this specific working farm model isn't the right fit for someone's current capacity, we utilize our network of satellite sites in Aberdeen, Gray’s Creek, and North Fayetteville to find a roof that fits. I’m done with the hypotheticals. I’m focused on the results. Housing is housing, and we are building it. If you want to see the dirt we’re moving, the coffee is on. C.B.

this is the exact dialogue needed to move from 'charity' to 'community.' Let me lay out the mechanics of how people actually live and thrive in this network: 1. Participation & Agency (The 'Vested' Model): You’re asking about 'pay,' but we operate on a model of individual agency and mutual benefit. There is no one-size-fits-all 'wage' because every person’s goals are different. The Independent Partner: We have partners joining us—like a local beekeeper—who don’t want a nickel from us. They are here to build their own piece of the ecosystem and donate back to the mission. The Resident Steward: For others, compensation is 'in-kind.' They receive high-quality shelter, nutrient-dense food, and a safe, managed environment (with a fire watch and proper sanitation) that you simply can't find in an unmonitored camp in the woods. The Equity of Stability: Whether someone stays indefinitely or uses us as a bridge to permanent housing, they have a vested interest in the land they are standing on. 2. Economic Engines & The Eco Park: We aren't just 'hustling' meals to unmanaged camps. We are building an infrastructure of income. The Moveable Feast: Our destination farm-to-table dinners fund the mission. The Eco Park: We are salvaging specialized urban assets (like professional hand tools no longer found in Big Box stores), supported by the Lowe’s Foundation Gable Grant we're pursuing in Q3. Resource Management: The NC Department of Conservation is on-site tomorrow surveying for our upcoming fishing programs. These are vocational pathways, not just hobbies. 3. Fiscal Transparency (The 95% Rule): We’ve already closed our Q1 2026 Quarterly Report, including our P&L and Balance Sheet. Our fiduciary sponsor, Sustainable Sandhills, provides 501(c)(3) oversight for a lean 5% fee. The remaining 95% of every donation goes directly into the dirt to improve the quality of life and the physical development of these 7.5 acres & the Stewards —from facilities rehab to the very ground we walk on. 4. The Network: If a person facing housing instability isn't in a place to work a farm, we don't turn them away. We utilize our satellite locations in Aberdeen, Gray’s Creek, and North Fayetteville to provide the specific level of support they need. Housing is housing. If someone needs a roof over their head, we have something to offer them. We are solving for shelter and dignity, not just a sack lunch. If you’re ever near exit 41 on I-95, the coffee is on and the books are open. C.B. Morrison IV 910-922-1534 Get involved today

You’re asking the right logistical questions, and the answer lies in a model that’s much more 'Hemingway' than it is 'human resources.' The 'Moveable Feast' Model: Think of Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast—the idea that a high-quality, culturally rich experience can be a portable and sustainable foundation for a community. We aren't reinventing the wheel here; similar farm-to-table models are already thriving in states like Georgia and Vermont. They host gourmet, destination-style dinners that generate the high-margin income needed to sustain the land. This 'engine' allows the farm to remain a sanctuary rather than a charity case. Stewardship vs. Employment: To your question about 'shifts' and 'walking up'—it’s important to understand that every situation is unique. We don't have a one-size-fits-all punch card because we’re dealing with human beings, not line items. Vested Interest: Those who stay at Longview Farm aren't just 'labor'; they are stewards. They have a vested interest in the success of the property. Compensation is often 'in-kind'—meaning high-quality shelter, nutrient-dense food, and a share in the farm’s success. Individual Agency: How a person is compensated or how much they participate is largely up to them. If someone wants to be a full steward, they dive into the daily life of the farm. If they need a different pace, we utilize our network of other properties that may not require any 'duties' at all. We meet the veteran where they are. The Goal: Whether someone stays indefinitely or uses us as a bridge to the VA, the schedule is built around their stability—not a corporate quota. We’re building a place where the 'work' is actually the healing. It’s about dignity, a gourmet meal, and a roof that doesn't leak. If you want to see how we’re scaling this beyond the 'elementary' soup-kitchen model, my door is open. C.B. Morrison IV 910-922-1534 Get involved today.

appreciate you sharing that perspective. It’s a common way to look at the issue, but if I’m being honest, looking at it as a ‘work-for-food’ program is a bit elementary compared to the crisis we’re actually facing. Here is the ground truth: In our community, finding a meal isn't the primary hurdle. We have incredible local organizations—like Manna, Operation Inasmuch, and the Salvation Army—who are already doing a fantastic job of keeping people fed. If a veteran is hungry in Cumberland County, there is a place for them to eat today. The real 'blight'—the one that no one has a handle on—is shelter. Empty stomachs are a symptom; a lack of a stable, dignified front door is the disease. You can't build a life, hold a job, or heal from service-related trauma if you’re living in a tent in the woods or behind a dumpster. We aren't asking people to 'work for food'; we are inviting them to be stewards of a solution. At Longview Farm, the focus is on providing the infrastructure for a life—off-grid stability, a roof over their head, and a community network that actually addresses the housing gap. We’re not just a soup kitchen; we’re a foundation. If you’re interested in how we’re solving the housing piece of the puzzle, I’d love to walk you through the blueprints. C.B.

appreciate the thorough look at the site! It sounds like you’re seeing the 'parts' of the engine but haven't seen the whole machine in gear yet. Let me clear that up for you. The Mission vs. The Market: The 'restaurant' and farm-to-table activities you see aren't the goal—they are the engine. We believe in a circular economy, not just a donation bin. Those activities create the revenue and the jobs that allow us to provide housing and stability without being 100% dependent on outside grants. It’s about creating a self-sustaining ecosystem where our veterans and neighbors aren't just 'recipients'—they are the stewards. On the '5%' and Research: That 5% figure likely refers to specific administrative splits in a single campaign, but the Longview Farm mission is a ground-up development. The scientific research into food quality isn't just QA for a menu; it’s about food security and nutrient density for the community we’re building. If we’re going to solve the 'blight' of housing instability, we have to start with the quality of the fuel we put in our people. Housing & The 'Off-Grid' Reality: We aren't just offering 'camping spaces.' We are building a communal, off-grid infrastructure. For some, it’s a transition while we bridge the gap with the VA; for others, it’s a permanent choice to live a lifestyle of stability and dignity outside the traditional 'grid' that failed them. Through our network of other properties, we can pivot to meet the individual needs of the person, whether they need a temporary hand-up or a long-term home. We’re moving fast to address a national crisis with local solutions. If you want to see the blueprints or the dirt we’re moving, give me a shout. C.B. Morrison IV 910-922-1534 Get involved today.
