Earth Day on the Farm @ Crooked Mountain
April 21 : 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
FreeCome visit beautiful Crooked Mountain’s farm for a free educational event focusing on small farm conservation, with special emphasis on water. Small farm conservation experts and resources from Virginia State University’s Small Farm Outreach Program, Virginia Tech, and other local farm resources will be on hand to answer questions about farming, conservation, and on-farm water retention. A presentation at 2:30 will be followed by a guided tour of the pond, campground, and cut flower field plans for this year.
In the last two years, Brian and Christy Corbett have developed Crooked Mountain into a multi-purpose recreation and flower farm. They recently added a spring-fed agricultural pond to their campground area. A second small retention pond will provide water for pick-your-own sunflowers, zinnias, and other flowers. Crooked Mountain includes an art-filled store, campground, stream, pond, and hiking trails for registered guests. Learn more at CrookedMtn.com.
