A channel for the oral history of people, places, and events in the Crooked Run Valley, a Virginia State Historical District between the towns of Paris and Delaplane 20144. The videos are made by Tom Davenport with particular interest in the agricultural history and practices in the area.
Name: Tom and Matt
Hollin Farms is a three generation family farm on the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Northern Virginia. We specialize in grass fed, natural beef but also offer heritage "Gloucestershire Old Spot" pork (in the fall only), fescue free hay for horses, and pick your own strawberries, peaches, tomatoes and sweet corn. We have a pumpkin patch on corn maze in the fall.

Our farm was the recipient of the "Harry Jones Conservation Farm of the Year" award. The farm started when Robert C. Davenport bought land on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge in the early 1950s and began to farm. He named the farm Hollin Hills after the award-winning community of modern houses he developed in Fairfax County, which were noted for their architectural harmony with nature. Our beef is Natural Virginia Angus Beef, with no implants and no antibiotics. Our beef are pastured, free-range animals fed on grass (you can read the details at www.hollinfarms.com/pages/beef .html)

You ought to get some piedmontese or belgian blue cattle and cross them with those angus you got that would be the ultimate beef cow.
