Our family fell in love with Edgewood the moment we first walked the 60+ acre property, in 2020. It was actually the one room log cabin tucked away in the forest, near the pond, which made us swoon. It was already named, The Bee Hive. When you visit, we think you’ll understand why this place is so special! We knew in our hearts this would be our forever home. With all the chaos in the world, this property exuded a sense of calmness and peace. We could see our girls running around barefoot and free here.

Purchasing Edgewood was a small homecoming for me. I grew up on a small farm in Powhatan, Va where soy beans and corn were the rotation crops. My parents were raised in Virginia tobacco fields and today are still farming cattle. Our extended family has farmed Virginia land for fifteen generations. I spent much of my childhood running around & exploring the dairy farm of my ‘adopted’ extended family. I was told walking in cow manure would make me taller as an adult. I’m here to confirm that’s definitely NOT the case!

As a teenager I promptly avoided as much outside work as possible; I would rather iron shirts than harvest vegetables or weed the garden. I desired to call the city my home and had big dreams outside of farmland Virginia. However, as an adult, I was always sharing my ‘country’ roots and looking to learn more; from cooking, food preserving, gardening and everything in-between. Fast forward twenty years, after long stints in California and Oregon, I could not be happier to be back in ‘the country’, in Virginia, to be HOME. Thankfully, time changes everything.
