VERONA, Va. (WVIR) - A farm committed to improving the health of children in the Shenandoah Valley is getting a barn. It comes after 10 years of connecting kids to where their food comes from both in schools and at the farm.
It’s taken two years of planning and fundraising, but construction crews are getting the ground ready at Project Grows in Verona to begin work next week.
“Really since day one of Project Grows we’ve been working with really minimal infrastructure on the farm,” said Farm Operations Director Laura Faircloth.
