WELCOME TO SUNSHINE SPRINGS FARM
where we Lead with Love
Dreams for the Farm
We are currently working on restoration projects at our farm. This land is very special to us and is where we played and explored as children. We hope to utilize it in ways that will best serve the environment and local community.
Habitat Restoration
Our farm is nestled at the base of Sugar Loaf Mountain in Augusta County, Virginia and is surrounded by farms and forests. The land features several natural springs, a creek, and a pond. We are working to restore the native habitats of our wild spaces to benefit the local ecosystem.
Barn Restoration
From our research, we believe the barn and farmhouse at Sunshine Springs were constructed in the early 1800s by Shenandoah German settlers (a continuation southward of the Pennsylvania "Dutch"). The bank barn contains the original double-pen log structure with hand-hewn log beams and limestone foundation. We will work with a local company to restore and preserve this incredible piece of history.
Old Things, New Dreams
Once restoration of habitats and buildings is complete, we plan to host educational and community events on the property. The community development office has approved our plans for summer camps for kids, adult classes in art and practical skills, and dinners featuring local chefs and local food. Stay tuned!
