Our farm store🤍 check us out!

Just joining us?

Let me take a few minutes to share some helpful information:

Who are we?

Farmer Thad and I are both 6th generation dairy farmers. The oldest of our 6 children is Hayley and she owns Pasture to Pitcher , our raw A2 Milk Herdshare program. Our three youngest still live at home and help here at the farm.

We believe in relationships:

With Jesus, the soil beneath our feet, the animals we raise, our neighbors, and our farm guests!

What do we do?

We are regenerative/organic stewards of the land. My husband is passionate about soil health which ultimately leads to healthier animals and humans. We are dairy farmers, raising all of our own animals from birth. We raise our own grass-fed/grass-finished beef, pastured pork, and eggs from our pastured chickens.

How we sell our products?

In 2020 (in the midst of the pandemic shutdown) we opened our on-farm retail store, Melvin's Farm to Fork. You can purchase our beef, pork and eggs from the store and we also work with 75 other local businesses to provide you with high quality products like organic vegetables (in season), chicken, lamb, trout, and so much more.

How can you get our products?

Join us in store each week during our set hours, Wednesday-Friday 10 am - 5 pm and Saturday’s 9 am - 2 pm. Our address is 1120 Peters Pike Road, Wirtz VA 24184.

*We are closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. These days are reserved for family, church, homeschooling, and preparing for our week.

Email correspondence is handled during store hours as well ([email protected])

OR

You may order from our website and pick items up: melvinsfarm2fork.com

Have questions? Call during store hours (540)-814-0891

Are we open year round?

We are! Please check our website or Google listing for holiday closings.

Do we carry all of our products year round?

We don’t. Our goal is to provide you with the freshest and cleanest products possible. We don’t truck in vegetables, so the season is limited. Our small scale chicken producer only processes a few times a year so there are times when we don’t have chicken. Our beef sells out extremely fast and we’re okay with that. Bacon goes even faster. We announce our restocks here on social media and through email. You can also use our website to determine what’s in stock. Everything has a season and we don’t rush that around here. You won’t find strawberries in November or whole turkeys in April.

What can you expect?

A smile and conversation when you come through the door. Meats that you can trust. Products without seed oils. Vetted skin care and locally made soaps. Small batch made products that source their ingredients responsibly. Honestly, we have a lot to offer and are thankful to be able to do so!

At our farm, we don’t want to just feed you. We want to feed you well ♥️

Celebration at the Farm! 🥛

Last Monday, we bottled 673 half gallons for our members. Today, we’re bottling 710 half gallons.

That’s a pretty significant jump in just one week, and we think that’s worth celebrating!

We want to express our gratitude to all of you who continue to share Pasture to Pitcher and especially our loyal pickup location hosts who open their doors and help make all of this possible.

So from all of us at the farm — THANK YOU!

Remember that custom corn mix we planted back in May?

This week it was mowed, cut and put into the silo! A few days of nonstop running and only a minor breakdown and the cows will be fed through the winter! 🌽
