🛑 ATTENTION FARMERS AND ARTISANS!

Is this exciting, or is this EXCITING??? 🌱🎨

In Farmer Jennifer’s opinion, finding reliable places to sell what we grow and create is one of the biggest challenges facing small farms and artisans—especially in rural West Virginia. This new market in Ghent could be a game changer for our area! A big thank-you to the folks at GoMart for helping make this possible! ❤️

Hope to see everyone November 10 in Ghent, WV! — in Ghent, WV.

Pig race for sale. We are selling both lanes for $3000. As you can see in the link below, this is a great deal for agritourism operations.

SOLD!

We are selling one of our kids excavators. We purchased four of them, but have been unable to find enough helpers to run all of them. Kids (of all ages🤣) love them. The price is $3000.

Today, the Sunset Berry Farm family laid a very special founding partner to rest at beautiful Nuttall Cemetery in Edmond, Fayette County.

Donald Gilkerson was Farmer Kent’s father, mentor, silent partner, and best friend. He taught Kent how to eat strawberries—and then how to grow them—from a very young age. Years later, Donald helped us launch Sunset Berry Farm and continued watching over our operations with a careful eye.

This video captures Donald lovingly inspecting our work to make sure the planting was done properly. He never quite trusted our fancy, high-tech equipment—and he was usually right to check behind us.

Donald’s wisdom, love, and steady presence helped shape Farmer Kent and Sunset Berry Farm. His legacy will live on in Kent, in our family, and in every strawberry we plant.

The farm will never be the same without Donald.

Rest peacefully. You were deeply loved and will be forever missed. 🍓

Please take 60 seconds to hear why Farmer Jennifer is running for office—then make plans to join us at Sunset Berry Farm on October 9 or 10 for a special farm-to-table dinner.

We’ll share an evening of delicious food and meaningful conversation with current leaders, candidates, and good people who are ready to bring positive change to West Virginia. I hope to see you there!
