The Barnhouse Garden
2763 Stony Fork Road
Moneta, VA 24121
540-521-4686
The BarnHouse Garden grows Heirloom (open-pollinated, non-hybrid, historically flavorful) produce and herbs. The Garden grew (pun, sorry) out of the belief that food should taste good. I grow organically, and the plants are irrigated by our own well water. Heirloom melons are becoming a specialty and you get to taste before you buy! Culinary and medicinal herbs can be bought fresh or dried, in bulk, or processed into teas, therapy baths and remedies. Produce is harvested daily in season; I urge you to experience fresh-picked, old-time flavor.
