We grow greens straight through the winter
Located in stunning southwest Virginia on Wyndale Road, just outside Abingdon. Fish feed the plants, the water runs in a loop, and the two of us cut and pack every order by hand.
- Living butter lettuce, sold with the roots still on so it keeps a good week
- Growing all winter, when almost nothing else local is coming in
- Find us Saturdays at the Abingdon Farmers Market, October through March
The Winter Farm Box is almost sold out.
Our greens and Kelly Ridge pasture-raised pork in one box, every other Saturday from October through March.
- 2 lb pork, sausage and ground
- A head of living butter lettuce
- 3 bags of winter greens
- A recipe card for that week's box
What we grow
Leafy greens, year round, in water instead of dirt.
Living butter lettuce
Salanova green butter, harvested with the roots still attached so it holds a week or better in your fridge. It's what Bristol schools get every week and it's what anchors the farm box.
Winter greens
Collards, kale, chard, bok choy and other Asian greens. Cold weather sweetens them, which is why the best eating around here happens in January.
Grown in water, not soil
Our tilapia feed the plants and the water recirculates through the beds. No synthetic fertilizer, no herbicide, and a fraction of the water a field crop takes.
Folks who've been out to see it
Buying for a school or a kitchen?
We've supplied school nutrition programs in this region since 2022, and we grow through the winter when most local supply dries up. Tell us the case count you need and we'll tell you straight what we can commit to.
Our other outfit runs a trolley
Experience Appalachia is our sister venture, a restored vintage trolley that carries thirteen people through historic Abingdon.
- Twilight on Main, every Saturday at 6pm
- 90 minutes, $28 a seat, kids $15
- Departs Abingdon Commons on West Main
- Private charters from $165 an hour
Pick up your farm box at the market in the morning, ride the trolley that evening. It makes for a good Saturday.
