Seven farms have been awarded 2020 Virginia Grand Basin Clean Water Farm Awards.
These awards are presented yearly to farmers or farm owners who are doing exceptional work to protect soil and water resources. One winner is selected from each of the major river basins for the Grand Basin Clean Water Farm Award.
“Virginia farmers are working hard in difficult times to stay in business and feed the world,” said Secretary of Natural Resources Matthew J. Strickler. “The Grand Basin Clean Water Farm Award winners are among our most innovative stewards of the land and water. Their outstanding conservation work benefits all Virginians.”
