Farm Background
I started looking into growing and selling vegetables as a way to earn money during the summers while teaching school, to help pay off college loans. I quickly got carried away with the farm work and Season's Bounty Farm is now starting it's 11th year of growing produce for the local community. Most of the crops are grown on 5 acres of rented land with fabulous soil along Linville Creek north of Harrisonburg, VA. In 2011 I also got into the sheep business by renting a nearby farm. We have built the flock up to around 125 ewes that are thriving on the abundant pastureland. The sheep and produce complement each other nicely, since most of the labor for sheep is during the spring lambing time, before the work gets really busy with the produce.
The produce and meat are sold primarily through the Harrisonburg Farmers Market, through our CSA subscriptions, to numerous local restaurants, the Shenandoah Valley Produce Auction, The Woods Edge Farm Stand, and the Friendly City Food Coop.
