We had the good fortune of connecting with Catherine Brickey and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Catherine, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Truthfully I was inspired by a stay at a property just outside of Yellowstone national park. Being a member of the military I was able to travel a lot and really love places that are able to combine the outdoors with some luxury. I also have a love for animals so glamping on my farm allowed me to combine my love for the outdoors with my love of animals all while sharing my passion with others. I love that people can come to a place of peace and relaxation while getting to experience a taste of farm life.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Professionally I am very busy especially now. I am an ER nurse, farming, and mother to two children I adore. I have always been good with multitasking and keeping busy. I found as I got older emergency nursing kept me on my toes and allowed me to find creative solutions to problems. Emergency nursing requires one to be adaptable and always ready which I think leads well into the glamping and farming. Raising cattle and animal husbandry is an added bonus but tons of hard work which also keeps me continually solving problems and being adaptable.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
– Falls Park in downtown GVL
– Ice Cream Station in Simpsonville
– Happy Cow Creamery
– Curean (cafe)
– Swamp Rabbit Trail

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to thank my kids, my parents, Wyld stay, Marc M., and my best friend for always being there at the drop of a hat. This wonderful and exciting journey wouldn’t be possible without them all.
