About this organization
Mission
To promote public engagement in agriculture, history, and historic preservation through education, research and demonstration programs using the landscape of the 18th century plantation at Clermont Farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, owned by the Virginia Dept. of Historic Resources.
About
AGRICULTURE: The Foundation uses the 360-acre Clermont Farm site and other land as a commercial beef cattle and sheep operation, which is the basis for: A) preserving intact and sustainably an historic agricultural landscape, and B.) providing an agricultural education and research program in partnership with Virginia Tech and its Middleburg Agricultural Research and Extension Center. Clermont Farm also serves as the teaching farm for the local Clarke County Public Schools (CCPS) Agriculture Program, with support from the Clarke County Farm Bureau. In 2019, the Foundation developed plans for replacement of the 1917 bank barn and 1849 corn crib destroyed in an electrical fire in November 2018, buildings which had constituted not only its animal care, hay and equipment storage space, but also its education, exhibit and archaeoldogical storage space. Plans were implemented to continue the production agriculture and educational programs temporarily without these buildings. Replacement equipment was purchased. The Foundation continued its five-year farm rejuvenation project, installing most of the remaining 40 best pasture manangement practices through NRCS EQIP cost-share projects including completion of internal re-fencing, removal of invasives and brush, planting of pollinator gardens, planting of one-half of the largest silvo-pasture research and demonstration program in Virginia, and cross-farm animal watering systems with 1.3 miles of water lines and well. The novice beekeeper training program was enlarged, and planning completed for the expansion of the experiential component of the Clarke County Public Schools' ag program from the high school down into the middle grades.
