SMITH MEADOWS FARM
Clarke County, VA
Smith Meadows, an eighth generation family farm, has been home to farm animals of all types. In 1989, the family realized that raising grain-finished animals (raised in confinement feed lots and given antibiotics and growth hormones) was not a healthy product. Smithfresh Meats takes great pride in its mission to create a healthy farm environment, thereby producing healthy and contented animals. Their cattle, pigs, goats and chickens are regularly rotated to a fresh paddock of grass, and all of their animals are handled humanely from the day they are born (they are never fed animal by-products or given growth hormones, antibiotics or commercial dewormers and their pastures are not chemically fertilized or treated with pesticides and herbicides). The result is a beautiful, healthy farm with animals in their natural environment. The Smithfield Farm Bed and Breakfast, near Berryville, VA, welcomes guests to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley. Nancy Pritchard makes fresh pasta each week for local farmers' markets. The fresh egg dough is made from organic oat, semolina and unbleached white flour and Smith Meadows free range eggs. Most of the produce and cheeses used to make Smith Meadows' flat noodles and ravioli are from local farmers' markets. Their meats, pastas and sauces are sold at our Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market.
