We’re building more than a cabin—we’re building peace, purpose, and legacy.
Hi, I’m Ocie Clanton, a proud U.S. veteran, husband of 35+ years to my amazing wife Diane, and the founder of Clanton’s Farm Retreat in the heart of Halifax County, North Carolina.
Together, Diane and I are creating a peaceful, nature-based retreat where veterans, couples, and families can come to rest, reconnect, and heal. After years of service and life’s ups and downs, we know how important it is to have a quiet space that restores the soul.
This dream is already in motion:
We’ve begun converting a shed into our first tiny cabin, and the insulation is done! But now we need your help to finish the next phase—drywall, paint, flooring, and simple furnishings—so we can begin welcoming guests.

Our Goal: $5,000
Your support will help complete:
Drywall installation & interior finish
Flooring and paint
Basic furnishings for guests
A place of rest, rooted in faith and nature

Why This Retreat Matters
This cabin is the first of many to come on our land. We envision:
Nature walks for reflection and healing
Glamping experiences under the stars
Workshops for veterans, couples, and underserved communities
A sacred space where people rediscover peace, purpose, and hope
We want to build generational legacy—not just for our family, but for those who’ve served, those who’ve struggled, and those who are searching for a space to breathe.
