Then in 2004, John’s son Andy returned home to the farm and became part of the farming operation as well. With more help they were able to expand the business and begin growing flowers and vegetable plants. In late 2018, John went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

It consists of a young orchard, apiary, sugar bush, vegetable gardens and livestock. Heritage breed hogs are raised on pasture and woodlands where they forage for roots and nuts and graze on fresh grass. They are fed non-gmo, non-certified organic grains free of hormones, anti-biotics and medications. Seasonally their diet is supplemented with pumpkins, apples, acorns, squash, zucchini, tomatoes and other extras from our garden. Poultry includes a diverse flock of chicken breeds allowed to free range during the day in the company of two guardian geese for predator protection and are locked up at night. Heritage breed turkeys and Khaki Campbell ducks keep them company as well. All are supplemented with non-gmo, non-certified organic grains free of hormones, anti-biotics and medications. Drinking water is supplemented with oregano oil for its natural anti-biotic properties and to build immune systems and garlic to prevent/control parasites. Cornish X Rock are raised for meat chickens and arrive on the farm a day or two after hatching where they spend 2-3 weeks in a brooder before moving to a portable chicken tractor where they are on fresh grass and moved daily. This provides them the ability to eat insects and move around in the grass while still giving them protection from predators.

Kilmer's Farm Market - Derek Lewis Kilmer, owner of Kilmer’s Farm Market has a rich family history that afforded him the opportunity to bring fruit growing and selling into the 21st century. While Derek’s great grandfather was a farmer, dairy man and small fruit grower, it was his grandfather, Charles W. Lewis who is acknowledged for his legacy of professional, dedicated, and superior fruit growing. At the time of his death in 1986, Charles and his wife Wanda continued ownership, and operations of 500 acres in Orchard Estates. Wanda’s daughter (Derek’s mom), Carolyn Lewis Kilmer acted as manager of the orchard; taking ownership of the packing, and storage area of the business. Derek’s father, John Kilmer continued wholesale of the packed peaches, and apples. Derek returned from college to the family farm in 2003, and began finding his niche by opening the “little red barn “farmers market. He expanded by opening a second location in a neighboring county, and by participating in the Washington DC metro area farmers market. In 2007, he began delivering apples to schools in Jefferson County WV. At first, Derek was hesitant to take on this additional responsibility, but the closing of the highway in front of his market pushed him to end his retail business, and try something new. What Derek did not know is that he would be hitting an industry trend at the exact right time. In 2008, things like “Farm to School “, “Farm to Institution “and “Farm to Table” started to become popular, and the” Local Food” movement began. During the next 8 years, Derek would see dramatic growth in sales, and he would expand the family farm by growing fruits and vegetables other than the traditional peaches and apples of the past. Derek’s parents retired in 2012, leaving him the opportunity for the transition into a broader scope of the industry. Today, Kilmer’s services schools in 10 different counties in WV, 2 counties in VA, numerous charter schools in the DC Metro area, both non-profit and for profit organizations in the DC Metro, and the Martinsburg Veterans Administration Hospital. Kilmer’s maintains a community outreach by donations of produce to children’s programs in school, and the classroom, local food banks, and various other charities.

Pop Up Kitchen - My name is Holly McCallister, and I am a Mom, Granny, Chef, Business owner, and Fairybossmother! I am a proud born and raised West Virginian from Greenbrier County to the Westside of Charleston and food has always been my passion. From the time I was a little girl I remember helping my grandmothers and mother in the kitchen and as I grew older I utilized what I learned to make all kinds of different things for my friends and family and playing "restaurant" was one of my favorite activities. I remember once getting into a lot of trouble for taking my Granny's good dished down to the creek where I had set up a creek side diner...lol. Right after high school I started traveling around the country, meeting people from different parts of the world, learning about their cultures and experimenting with different food and soon realized the kitchen is where my heart lives. I believe food can bring people together, it is a great way to learn about people and their cultures, and that most disputes can be solved over a great meal. I am firm believer in all aspects of healing with food and Utilizing our local farmers, producers and resources; supporting our local economies; and educating people on where their food comes from and how to grow their own. After spending the summer in Lewisburg, I became inspired by the ability to tap into the local resources here through the local farmers markets and I'm currently working on a permanent location in the Greenbrier Valley area so I can expand my catering business to include lunch and dinner delivery during the week and brunch on Sunday as well as a retail market where I can showcase our amazing artisans, craftspeople and of course our farmers and other producers. I am so excited to be selling on Turnrow once again and can't wait to bring you more deliciousness in the future.

The chickens never receive any medications/antibiotics or growth stimulants/hormones. Processing occurs on the farm to minimize stress due to transportation. In addition to a wide variety of frozen chicken product, fresh chicken can be purchased on the farm for a discounted price. Check out our website for the next scheduled processing.

Wayne County Co-Op - The Wayne County Farmers Cooperative was founded in 2016, and has enabled local farmers to sell their produce more efficiently. We are the largest co-op in the state of West Virginia, and we pride ourselves on providing top quality produce and log grown shiitake mushrooms to our patrons. This past spring we were blessed to lease a local farm in Dunlow, WV and begin the process of producing even more vegetables and fruits to supplement what our farmers are producing. Legacy Farms is currently in the process of obtaining GAP certification and while we are still in the infancy stage of production, we have seen some really good quality produce harvested already! Our goal is to see local folks be able to access healthy, nutritious, locally grown foods from sources close to them. Bringing fresh foods to the tables of our fellow West Virginians is top priority for us, because we know that when good food is available, good health is a definite possibility! Agriculture has moved up in the Mountain State in the last few years and we would love to see more people get involved. Self-sustainability and self-reliance used to be a way of life in our area, but in the past few decades it has declined as people became more dependent on store bought goods. With so much concern over food borne illnesses and recalls, it only makes good sense to get your food from area farmers who grow food the way nature intended it to be...healthy, delicious, and FRESH! If you reside in Wayne County and would like to become a member or learn more about the Co-op, feel free to shoot an email to: robin.maynard-spaulding@waynecountyfarmersco-op.com.

Woodson's Mill - Woodson’s Mill has been owned and loved by a small handful of families since its construction in 1794, when Guiliford Campbell built the original four-story, 32 foot square building. The Fulchers improved it in the 1840’s, adding the two runs (mill stones), which are still in use today. Sixty-some years later, Dr. Julian B. Woodson expanded the mill into a thriving enterprise that included an icehouse, sawmill, and foundry while maintaining his duties as a medical doctor and State Senator. The rise of large industrial mills in the growing post-war America, along with Dr. Woodson’s death in 1963, brought a temporary end to the mill business. But, Huron T. Campbell, who owned the mill while it was not in operation, refused to sell any of the equipment or machinery in hope that someone would eventually be able to restore it. J. Gill Brockenbrough, Jr., who purchased Woodson’s Mill in the early 1980’s, did restore it and lived there until his death in 2001. All these people were passionate about Woodson’s Mill, and so are we.
