Having along Commissioner Joe Guthrie, President Wayne Pryor and State Director Perry Hickman was a privilege! Our cooperators Sweethaven Lavender of Williamsburg, Coastal Cattle, Cullipher Farm, and SummerWind Vineyard each showcased their unique operations and products to the tour group. Thank you to our Board, guests, and cooperators for a great tour!... See MoreSee Less

Client Testimonials

VAFAIRS was instrumental in helping us grow our forest farm to expand production of our unique black walnut syrup. In what might otherwise have been an intimidating process, they accompanied us and helped build on existing strengths and find new opportunities to scale up and meet growing demand.

Christopher Herby Tonoloway Farm

It was a pleasure to work with the VA FAIRS team in our application for the USDA Value-Added Producer Grant. The team was knowledgeable and committed to assembling the grant application package, and worked with us as the producer to capture as many points possible.

Paul Boulden, Jr. Studley Farms

They offered insightful suggestions for bringing new products to market, maximizing our market share in the community, building entrepreneurial networks with fellow local business owners, and creating momentum for our brand through effective marketing.

Kerry Messer Sweethaven Lavender

My contacts with VAFAIRS are a joy to work with as they wrapped my farm in their expertise. I look forward to continued relationship with them for years to come.
