Organic & Sustainable Farming Benefits
The image of a traditional rural lifestyle, with cows grazing out at pasture, chickens pecking in the barnyard, and a lush mix of produce thriving in the fields, finds its fulfillment in the organic farm. Livestock are raised in healthy, airy conditions, free of antibiotics and growth hormones.
Organic farmers focus on feeding the soil, not the plants. Healthy soil rich in organic matter and microorganisms makes for vigorous plants that resist pests and disease. Healthy, living soil is vital to organic farming. The natural end result of this is that farmers strive to maintain ecological balance through their farming practices. Continual addition of compost, tilled-under cover crops, animal manures, and other naturally sourced nutrients enrich the soil in much the same way as happens in nature. This rich soil, in turn, yields flavorful produce higher in antioxidants and other nutrients than many conventional crops.
Organically-grown fields are also better equipped than conventional ones to fight off pests and disease. With efficient, intelligent management, organic farming offers similar yields to conventional. While conventional farms may have higher yields in optimum growing conditions, vigorous organic crops can even outyield conventional ones in a difficult growing year. Organic production does have higher labor costs, but this is generally offset with higher prices at the grocery store.
Organic farmers bring their considerable creativity to bear in selling their crops, as well. Many small farms operate roadside produce stands; others use community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs to sell their products. The CSA model, where consumers subscribe to a weekly, biweekly, or monthly "share" of whatever a farm is producing, is becoming increasingly popular. Harvest festivals and pick-your-own crops are also customer favorites.

Milk Cow Boarding
1826 Ridge Rd
Bridgewater, VA 22812
information@villeview.com
My wife and I were raised on dairy farms and are well acquainted with the dedication that dairy cows and milking requires. After we married we started our own Grade A grass based rotational grazing dairy farm and continued milking from 1980 until we sold our herd in 2003. My wife and I really appreciate fresh raw milk for table use, so we kept a family cow. Recently we added cows to form a mini herd for families and individuals in our local community who value raw milk but are unable to care for milk cows.
It isn't legal to sell raw milk for human consumption in the Commonwealth of Virginia, since Virginia follows FDA regulations regarding raw milk sales. You may however, use raw milk from cows you own or lease. Our herd share program is an opportunity to lease shared interest in milk cows.
