Those magnificent peacocks have been gracing Green Pastures since the 1960’s. They’re free to roam the neighborhood, but always return home by sundown to roost in our majestic Live Oaks. We currently have around 19 of these feathered wonders, with the number growing each summer with new hatchlings. Fun fact: our white peacock, Hans (Solo), isn’t albino, but leucistic.

At Green Pastures, we are deeply committed to creating a sanctuary where every guest feels completely at home — relaxed, unhurried, and free from distraction.
As part of that commitment, we have thoughtfully decided to reserve our property as a private retreat, and kindly ask that formal photography sessions not take place on the property or grounds. This allows us to protect the tranquility and intimacy that make Green Pastures so special for everyone who visits.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us preserve this very special place.
