Born and Grazed in Rich Valley, Virginia.
Rich Valley Grazers is a fifth generation family farm operating a number of properties in Smyth and Washington Counties.
Farm Management
Intensive Grazing is used to maximize the health of pastures and get the most out of available forage resources. Creeks are fenced to keep cattle out. We have been recognized for environmental stewardship with several awards over the years.
Cattle Breeds
We have recently decided that the best choice for grass finished beef for our farm is the Devon breed. Devon is a British breed of cattle that has remained virtually unchanged since the breed began back when all cattle were grass finished. After that we have joined the American Devon Cattle Association and are planning to expand our Devon herd.
