Dave Fields is the steady hand and quiet strength behind Little Acorn Ranch. A proud member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, Dave brings the wisdom of his Native American heritage into every aspect of farm life—honoring the land, caring deeply for the animals, and working with purpose and humility. 

As Patricia’s husband and trusted partner, he blends tradition with practical experience, cultivating a place of peace and renewal.

With a background that includes early mornings on a dairy farm, Dave understands the value of hard work and the quiet satisfaction of a job well done. 

He keeps the ranch running smoothly—maintaining the grounds, ensuring the animals are well fed and cared for, and managing the hay and grain with steady hands and a keen eye. 

He’s also the proud owner of Duke, a spirited thoroughbred whose strength and grace mirror Dave’s own heart for horses.When he’s not in the barn or on the tractor, you’ll likely find Dave restoring his 1972 Dodge Dart, reviving old things with patience and precision—just as he does around the ranch. 

Grounded, dependable, and full of quiet wisdom, Dave embodies the spirit of stewardship and strength that defines Little Acorn Ranch.
