We’re excited to share that we’re joining in on the 2nd annual Braxton County Farm Crawl! The farm crawl will be on Saturday, October 4th from 10-4.

What to expect:
🐑 We’ll be doing shearing demonstrations, plus, visitors will have the opportunity to help us shear!
🐑 You can meet some of the flock

📸 PLUS, we’ll have a small photo area for you to take some fall photos…and maybe have a wooly critter in the photo!

What in the world is a farm crawl?
A farm crawl is a great chance to visit local farms, meet the farmers, and see firsthand where and how your food and fiber products are grown.

We’ll share more details as we get closer, but be sure to visit us and the other farms!

Heavner Family Farm is joining the crawl this year! They just opened a cute farm stand, also! Excited to have them as a stop! They will have flower arrangements(U-pick Flower Farm), barn quilts and garden themed crafts, and looks like even more goodies!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/175y4yjpP1/

Hyers Run Rd, Burnsville WV now has its very own farm stand! This is a good opportunity for my family to do things together and offer a little something different. My daughter-in-law, Courtney Wilfong, will be baking goodies with her little helpers, Coleson and Olivia! Coleson and Joe will be cutting firewood and, of course, flowers. You never know what you might find at our stand. Beard oil, hair care, goat's milk soap, wax melts, ramp salt, or apple butter - the possibilities are endless because we are always trying something new and fun with the kids! We will try our best to keep it open daily from 9 to 7pm. Being located on Rt 5 towards Glenville gives us an opportunity to serve a great number of people since it is a high-traffic area! If you currently run a farm stand, please contact me as I would like to create a brochure mapping out the farm stands and their locations in Braxton County! I personally have made a couple of visits to my friend Misty Dennisons farm stand, located in Exchange, WV. How fun would it be to take your kids on a Sunday drive to support a local farm stand and get some home-baked goodies! ❤️
