Who We Are

Green Fence Farm is one DC couple's midlife crisis disguised as a multi-product sustainable farm in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. We believe in food that is grown in the same time zone in which it is eaten and in responsible carnivore behavior, i.e. eating meat that itself eats mostly what it is supposed to (grass), lives where it is supposed to (outside), and doesn't contain that which it isn't supposed to (hormones, antibiotics, arsenic - you name it and some big industry has tried to put it in a chicken). We believe in leaving our land healthier than when we found it - by using natural fertilizers rather than chemicals, by rotational grazing rather than confinement agriculture, by dragging our egg layers, broilers, and ducks around in mobile cages and chicken coops, rather than spraying Miracle-Gro off the back of a John Deere (though Nick would really like to try that, at least once). And we believe that all this, plus a little luck, allows us to offer to you the tastiest meats, the yellowest yolked eggs, and the most delectable vegetables you'll ever eat.

Please visit, in cyberspace and otherwise, Ian Boden’s fabulous new restaurant in Staunton, the Staunton Grocery.  He is doing amazing things with our eggs, meat and produce, along with the products of many small farms in our region.  You need to go soon, before you have to know somebody to get in (and not just me - though Ian likes us, we’re not exactly the sort he wants eating in his front window).
