we're open for the season!
we have peaches, hard cider, and local produce.
Come on in and see what we’ve been working on over the past few months.
A couple of late-season freezes resulted in the loss of our peach crop this year, but we’re excited to throw open our gates and welcome you back to the farm. Like many of our neighbors in Rappahannock County, and orchards from New Jersey to North Carolina, we’re feeling the impact of this season’s weather challenges.
Have no fear! We’ve sourced delicious local peaches from friends in other parts of Virginia who fared a little better than we did, so there will be plenty available for purchase. We also have hard cider on tap, refreshing slushies, locally-grown veggies, and much more.
We’re choosing to see this as an opportunity to grow in new ways. Our crew has embraced that challenge, and we’re excited to bring you a season that feels just as vibrant, welcoming, and fun as ever, and maybe even a little more so.
What’s New & Fun at the Farm:
- NEW: Locally-sourced hard cider from our friends at Sage Bird Ciderworks in Harrisonburg. (yes—we’ve got our ABC license!)
- Starting on July 9th: Apple cider doughnuts—you asked, we listened.
- Starting on July 25th: Live music from talented local musicians (Bailey Hayes will be playing from 1-3 that Saturday)
- A stunning sunflower field—perfect for family photos, holiday cards, engagement shoots, and social media moments (starting in late July)
- Pick-your-own sunflowers and zinnias (starting in late July)
- Fresh, hand-tied bouquets available in the market (starting in late July)
Seasonal Events & Experiences:
- September 18th: Raise a Pint for the Park, A fun evening with live music from James Austin as we collaborate with and give back to our neighbors at the Shenandoah National Park Trust (more details to come!)
- Hayrides throughout the season
- “Farmer for a Day” for kids: petting zoo and educational hands-on activities (date TBD)
- September 26: Rappahannock Farm Tour

We grow over 20 varieties of apples. We sell our own grass-fed, GMO-free, all natural beef.
What to Expect This Season:
- Our farm market is open and stocked with peaches and other fresh produce from Virginia orchards that were not impacted by the late-season freeze.
- All your F. T. Valley favorites: peach salsas, apple butters, peach slushies and hard cider on tap and in the fridge
- A curated selection of locally-sourced goods
- corn hole, picnic tables, Adirondak chairs
So what does F. T. Valley do when life hands us lemons?
We plant sunflowers, pour the cider, and invite you to stay awhile.
We can’t wait to welcome you back to the farm for a season full of beauty, connection, and a few new traditions.
our story
In 2008, our family purchased a parcel of land in Nethers, just over Browns Mountain from the orchard. We started with a small herd of cattle, and eventually got into the grass-fed beef business. Eight years later, we expanded our operations. Read our story to find out how we evolved.
