The Farms & Businesses
Pike Mountain Farm
Located just 10 miles from downtown Morgantown, Pike Mountain Farm provides pasture raised chicken and pork to the local community. Using rotational grazing this young farm is producing nutrient dense protein and healing the land. Pike Mountain Farm’s location, online ordering and curbside pickup make putting a healthy dinner on the table easy.
Farm tours, activities for kids and bluegrass music are the highlights of this crawl stop.
High Ground Brewing
We are a veteran owned and family operated brewery located in Preston County West Virginia. Starting in March 2019, we are on tap in several areas of North-Central West Virginia. We promise a unique and delicious craft beer experience with products that will come to you with hard work, passion and quality as its backbone.
Possum Tail Farm
Possum Tail Farm will host tours of our intensive grazing pastures and medicinal herb gardens at 10am and 1pm. Bring coolers to take home our 100% Grassfed Certified Naturally Grown beef, Western and Chinese herbs, salves, and tinctures. We are a small family farm offering online ordering and home delivery in the greater Morgantown, WV and Oakland, MD area. We strive to make discerning use of inputs, maintain excellent land stewardship practices, and produce high-quality products for your household.
Riffle Farms
Bison roam the 64 rolling acres, nestled between ridge lines in Terra Alta. At 2,200 ft in elevation, a healthy upward draft keeps the grass cool, the snow heavy, and the springs plentiful. These animals are grass-fed and finished. Riffle Farms is committed to providing their customers with an ethically raised, healthier meat option. Bison rivals chicken in fat content, surpasses salmon in protein content, and has more omega-3 fatty acids than beef.
Arthurdale Heritage Inc.
Nestled into the first New Deal community, Arthurdale Heritage's goat farm offers both history and hands-on goat fun.
Stop by to meet over 2 dozen goats and their kids like Carter, Eleanor, Michelle, and Teddy, our three livestock guard dogs, Ronnie, Reggie, and Anya, our adorable cats, Oscar and Smokehouse, and our cow Daisy.

Cothelstone Farm
This family farm is smattered with ponds, creeks, trails, fields, and forest that tease the imagination and refresh the soul.
Originally a family vacation spot, it has been developed over the past year to host guests for short or long-term stays at one of its three residences.
The farm is also the inspiration for SweetDaisyHome which sells all natural soy candles, handmade aprons and goat milk soap. At this year's Farm Crawl, stop by and create your very own barn quilt, enjoy a tour or short walk through the woods, and explore the creaks, trails and even a tree house.
Empty Pockets Farm
Apple and grape picking, crafts, and pit beef!
We are a new spot and excited to have folks out to our neck of the woods!
Hopping Acres
We are home to the first Natural Colored Leicester Longwool born in the USA. One of our rams, Sir Edward, was chosen by National Geographic Magazine article, Inside Animal Minds.
We use all the wool we produce to create designer yarns, knitwear, felted items and much more.
Learn the history of the breed of sheep George Washington used to increase the wool production and meat in his flock. See how their wool is turned into yarn.
Along with the rare Leicester Longwool sheep we have very rare livestock guard dogs, the Karakachan from Bulgaria. Giant Angora rabbits produce soft wool and our heritage chickens lay great Happy Eggs.
Saving Rare Breeds became our way if life in 1992 and we've never looked back.
