More Than a Farm—A Place to Feel at Home
Lucky Pennie Farms was born from a desire to slow down in a fast-paced world and reconnect with the land, animals, and each other. Tucked away in the quiet countryside of Townville, South Carolina, we’re more than a farm—we’re a sanctuary for serenity.
Our herd of gentle, loving cattle is the heart of the experience. Whether it’s a cow cuddling session, a rustic photo shoot, or a seasonal event under the Carolina sky, each visit to Lucky Pennie is designed to nourish the soul and create unforgettable memories. We also offer boutique cattle ownership for those who want to bring home a piece of the peace we’ve created.
Rooted in care, calm, and connection—Lucky Pennie Farms is where slow living meets lasting joy.
Our Philosophy:
At Lucky Pennie Farms, we believe that slowing down is essential, connection is healing, and gentleness is powerful. Our farm is built on the idea that meaningful experiences come from presence, not performance. Whether you're cuddling with our cows, walking through the fields, or simply sitting in silence, everything we do is rooted in:
- Care – for our animals, our land, and every guest who steps onto the farm.
- Calm – in our pace, our environment, and the peace we foster for others.
- Connection – to nature, to one another, and to ourselves.
We’re not in the business of hustle—we’re in the art of holding space, slowing down and taking a deep breath. That’s the heart of the Lucky Pennie way.
Meet Pennie -
Pennie spent a decade as a devoted stay-at-home mom, nurturing a love of reading, creativity, and curiosity in her four children—Victoria, Madelynne, Andrew John, and Amie. Once they were all in school, she followed her longtime dream of becoming a nurse. She earned her BSN and later an MBA, working as a registered nurse for several years before transitioning into the corporate side of healthcare, where she continues to work today.
In 2024, after the loss of her husband, Pennie found herself reconnecting with old friends and drawn to the healing calm of the countryside. That’s when she met her first Highland cow—and it was love at first sight. After months of quiet planning and reflection, everything aligned. One day, Maggie Moo came walking down the driveway, with several more Highland beauties close behind.
These days, when she’s not working her corporate job, Pennie is most likely out in the pasture tending to her cows or cherishing time with her grandchildren.
Her deep love for family, healing, and fresh beginnings is at the very core of Lucky Pennie Farms.
Meet Andrew, Kennedy, & Aubrey -
Andrew and Kennedy have been inseparable since they were 14—and now they’re raising the next generation of farm kids with their daughter Aubrey (4) and a baby boy - Homer, due this August. Together, they embody the heart of Lucky Pennie Farms: strong roots, simple joys, and a love for country life that runs deep.
Andrew is a full-time diesel mechanic and the farm’s go-to guy for maintenance and heavy lifting. From mending fences to loading feed, he’s always there when something needs fixing—unless he’s sneaking in a little time with his daughter, who follows him like a shadow.
Kennedy is the quiet powerhouse of the pasture. She tends to the herd’s daily care with grit, grace, and zero hesitation—pregnancy or not. She’s the kind of woman who can bottle-feed a calf with one hand and chase off a snake with the other. Tough, nurturing, and deeply connected to the animals, she keeps the rhythm of the farm moving every single day.
Little Aubrey is growing up surrounded by cows, mud puddles, and love—and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Meet Amie, Shawn, & Warren -
Amie and Shawn are the heart of everyday life at Lucky Pennie Farms. With a love for the land and a deep care for the herd, they bring gentle hands and steady hearts to everything they do.
Shawn has always felt most at home around animals. Whether he's checking fence lines, scratching behind fluffy ears, or bottle-feeding a calf, he’s in his element.
Amie is currently soaking up every moment with five-month-old Warren, who spends most of his days wrapped close to her heart as she sings softly and tends to the cows. From morning feedings to evening walks through the pasture, Warren is learning early what it means to grow up surrounded by love, hard work, and moo-sic.
Together, this young family brings warmth and wonder to the farm, reminding us that the most beautiful things often grow in slow, simple moments.
Meet Madelynne, Gwen, & Doug -
Just down the road from Lucky Pennie Farms lives Madelynne and her two little farmhands-in-training—Gwen (4) and Doug (2). After leaving Westminster for college, Madelynne found her way back home to raise her babies surrounded by fresh air, open pasture, and the rhythm of farm life.
While she’s not on the front lines with a pitchfork, Madelynne plays a vital role in bringing the heart of Lucky Pennie Farms to life through branding, storytelling, educational resources, and web design. From crafting cow-themed coloring pages to writing up field trip scripts and sharing the herd's stories online, she’s the creative voice behind many of the materials that connect families and classrooms to the farm.
Her daughter Gwen, now home for the summer, loves helping feed the cows—though she’s usually caught mid-snuggle with one of her favorites. And little Doug? He’s quick on his feet and eager to lend a hand, racing to “help” at every opportunity.
Together, they bring creativity, joy, and just the right amount of toddler chaos to the Lucky Pennie family.
Other Faces You May See Around The Farm
Poppa Warren
Whether he's fixing gates, hauling hay, or quietly showing the next generation how it’s done, Poppa leads with grit, heart, and a humble kind of wisdom that holds the whole farm together.
Zayden
At 11 years old, Zayden may not be on the payroll, but he’s a regular around the pasture. As Pennie’s oldest grandson, he’s got a front-row seat to all the fun—and spends most of his time doing what he does best: petting cows, naming them, and soaking up the magic of the farm one slow, moo-filled afternoon at a time.
Carmen
Carmen may be deep in the books earning her nursing degree, but she still finds time to show up for the farm—whether it’s lending a hand during a busy weekend, helping with events, or just checking in to give the cows a little extra love. As Pennie’s bonus, she brings kindness, determination, and a big heart to everything she does. We’re lucky to have her as part of the herd—on and off the farm.
