James Farmer is a Southern author, interior designer, and charming speaker known for his ability to create beautifully familiar and welcoming homes.

Through his design firm, James works with clients to truly create a home.


James is the author of the Wall Street Journal best-selling books A Time to Plant; Sip & Savor; Porch Living; Wreaths For All Seasons; A Time To Cook; Dinner on the Grounds; A Time to Celebrate and A Place to Call Home. His most recent publication, Arriving Home - A Gracious Southern Welcome explores the homes and designs of projects from South Georgia to Connecticut. Rooted in traditional styles, colors, and beautiful textures, James Farmer’s work embodies the true feeling of home

In addition, his work has been published in various magazines including Southern Living, House Beautiful, Traditional Home, Southern Home, FLOWER and more. As a frequent event speaker and guest, James’s natural grace and warm personality light up any room.
