When researching our farm's history, and that of the surrounding area, we came across multiple meanings for the name Doko, the original name of the train station that later became the town of Blythewood. One meaning that especially resonated with us was "gathering place." We hope that Doko Farm will become a gathering place for our family, friends and community. We invite you to spend part of your day with us. It seems that there is always something going on at Doko Farm!
While we do everything we can to ensure our visitors' safety, please remember that Doko Farm is a real, working farm. As such, there are some hazards, including: fire ants, ticks, mosquitoes, poison ivy, farm tools, equipment, electric fences, barb wire, and livestock. Visitors must wear enclosed shoes, for safety and comfort. We also recommend sunscreen and long pants.
The Ag + Art Tour is returning to Richland County, in June 2024!

See what we have planned at Doko Farm...
Autumn is our favorite time of year, at Doko Farm.
The days are cooler, the leaves change color and fall from the trees, and we pause, if just for a minute, to celebrate another successful growing season.
Join us for the Harvest Market at Doko Farm, tour the farm, and take home something delicious.
Join us for one of our public farm tours! We believe that transparency is important in our food system and we welcome the chance to show you around Doko Farm.
Our next public farm tours will be during the Richland County Ag + Art Tour, June 7 & 8, 2025
Private tours are on hold for winter.
Doko Farm loves our volunteers! Seriously, they are the best!
We welcome volunteers to help at the above events, group work days, and on an individual basis. Email Doko Farm at dokofarm@gmail.com
Here at Doko Farm, we completed our own Silver Award project by building a bench. This bench benefits the community because when people visit Doko Farm, they get tired and need a place to rest that's out of the sun. We completed this project in the summers of 2021 and 2022. We built this bench around a tree—using materials from a felled tree right here on the farm—near the pasture so people can observe the animals while resting.
