 | Our speaker at last week's library talk was Chuck Seal of the Volunteer Farm, which is off Back Road west of Woodstock, VA. Chuck described the work of the Volunteer Farm, which grows vegetables and donates them to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. In response to needs for higher-protein food for the hungry, the farm is undertaking a project to raise meat, starting with goats. A couple is letting them use their farmland near Zepp for this effort. |
We stopped by the current farm on Monday and I took a few photographs. It was quiet there because students are back in school so most of the volunteering happens on weekends now. There are still vegetables to harvest, and after frost hits, there will be rocks to move and a fence to build.
If you've never seen the countryside around Back Road, you're missing beautiful views. The Volunteer Farm is an example of the rich pastoral scenery that the Shenandoah Valley is known for.
