We're 17 miles out of Lexington. Where are you in VA?

I live 3 miles out back of Mt. Jackson, VA. Just bought a small 7 acre farm about 10 months ago. It is wonderful living in the Shenandoah Valley.

Add me to your address book. I am in Appomattox County and we build banjos and raise sheep, goats, chickens and I have a llama.

Hi April - We live in southwest VA in the Appalachian Mountains where we have a small homestead farm. I breed American Bashkir Curly horses and have Romney & Shetland sheep. I'm probably 3 to 4 hours away from you. We have several ag activities here on the farm; if you are interested, let me know and I'll send you our web address & more info.
