Piedmont Valley Farms has been focused on sustainable and ecological farming and forestry practices since purchasing this old farm property in the year 2000. We began permaculture farming in 2015 by cultivating naturally grown gardens and investing in a small flock of pasture-grazed poultry for eggs. In January 2016, we opened our new dog day care & boarding facility, expanded the gardens & the layer hen flock, and became a CFNS CERTIFIED FREE RANGE CHICKEN producer of 'Nova Free Rangers'. (2021 note - Nova-Ranger chicks are no longer available locally, so we now produce only the 'Meat King' variety). (update: 2024 no longer growing chicken)
We preserve small batches of our farm-grown fruit & interesting wildflower jellies... all made with fair-trade organic sugar. We also grow varieties of fresh & dried culinary herbs & delicious berry leaf tea blends, and bake healthy "Beggin' Hearts & Bones" for our doggy pals. All our farm products are available from the farm gate by appointment and at our vendor table at The Old School Markets in Barney's River Station on Fridays, 4 - 7 pm, in July through September, and The New Glasgow Farmer's Market on the last Saturday of each month. 9 to 1
We produce naturally fresh nutrition and provide good dogs a 'home away from home' while their people work or travel!
