My uncle started running this farm in the 80's as a calf-cow farm. After he passed away, I helped work the farm while my aunt lived here. Now the farm is under my daily management and I love it. This year, I've planted cantaloupe, pumpkin and sweet corn for sale along with my own garden. I also have a full hen house producting half a dozen or more eggs daily. And now that there's a barn stall with chicks scratching and chirping, this is really starting to look like a farm again.
From a business perspective, my goals are
1. Become a supplier of Virginia certified organic beef to commercial stock yards and the general public.
2. Reach the point of sustainable profitability.
3. Enjoy work while making a good living.
On a more personal level, I want to continue the tradition of our family farm, raise my daughter and live life to the fullest. I have always felt connected to the land and have enjoyed farm life, hunting, fishing and being outdoors for as long as I can remember.
This is my life; these are my loves. Hold on for the ride.
