The farm sits on the hillsides of the historic McDowell Battlefield, boasting incredible views of the near by town of McDowell and the Bullpasture River Valley. The owners have gone to great extents to preserve the property's agricultural viability through work with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Virginia Outdoor Foundation, and their own efforts of tapping 2000+ trees on the farm.
