Charis Eco-Farm

3081 Shutterlee Mill Road
540-886-8486

We are a small family farm offering direct market, farmer's market and restaraunt sales. Our 45 acres are grazed by our small but growing herd of cattle. We are in the process of developing a rotational graze for them. They will be followed by either layers or our unique newer breeds of broilers. We also offer pork on pasture as well as a limited amount of lamb, turkey, duck and occasional geese.

We desire to extend our garden to more variety for market, but presently is serving our family's needs. For anyone in the Augusta, Rockingham or Rockbridge counties interested in joining are new meat CSA, we are happy to offer this.

Basically, we offer cards at two values listed above. Each week you can choose the meat and cuts you want to a maximum of $100 weekly. We will try to work with you on contents giving you a lot of choice, bearing in mind, we have limits on production! One chicken a week would be preferable.
