Waverly Farms

Waverly Farms is a completely local, integrated, sustainable farm that raises pastured beef, poultry, eggs, goats (chevre), vegetables, herbs and berries.

We raise beef, goats, llamas and poultry exclusively in pasture with shelter, clean water, free access to our own hay, and minerals from organic or natural sources as available. Animals are rotated across 235 acres of lush Virginia pasture and forage woods according to a planned sequence that is most beneficial for the soil, pastures and animals. All pastures and animals are free of pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, preventive antibiotics, preservatives and additives. As a result, we have beautiful, productive pastures and excellent tasting, rich, nutritious beef, poultry, eggs and chevre. We participate fully in conservation practices with Piedmont Soil and Water Conservation District as well as the National Resource Conservation Services division of USDA. Our animals are harvested in our pasture and processed locally using only the most humane and respected procedures.

Our vegetables, herbs and berries are grown in gardens using our own composted goat, cattle and llama manure for fertilizer, supplemented with organic or natural fertilizers only when absolutely necessary. Organic and natural insecticides and fungicides are used only in extreme cases. Most insects are removed by hand. Weeds are pulled by hand or managed through cultivation only when absolutely necessary. Although we follow organic guidelines and practices, we are not Certified Organic.

Each year, we offer a limited number of vegetable+egg CSA shares and sell quarter, half, three-quarter or whole beef and goat shares "on hoof." Whole pastured chickens are coming soon. We assist customers in processing their meat into individual vacuum sealed, dated and weighted cuts that are freezer-ready and provide many months of fresh, clean beef and chevre that are always free of hormones, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, preservatives and other additives.

CSA shares and beef are delivered directly to our customers who, along with their families and close friends, are invited to visit our farm anytime and encouraged to enjoy the farm during our Farm Days and other events.
