Welcome to Num Num Farms

We are a sustainable farm located in Mountain Grove, Virginia which is in the Alleghany Highlands of Bath County, Virginia. Not too far from the West Virginia state line! In fact, it’s an easy walk from our back porch!

We are keepers of rare breed chickens and emus. We have a strong emphasis on perennial farming and forest farming. Ramps and paw paws are a couple of the more unique foods we grow and offer!

Num Num Farms attends local farmers markets, offers CSA subscriptions and unique, artisanal value-added products.

Please take you time and look around! And as always! If you want any good num nums to eat or have questions please contact us! Thanks! Here’s to great Num Nums!

Changing Directions

My husband and I, (okay, mostly ME) started off on this land with little more than a dream of feeding ourselves in 2015 (full time). For several years we had livestock of all sorts from cows who in fact, would jump the fence to eat what was in the garden to goats that levitated over fences to eat WHATEVER they could. Chicks for meat and eggs to sell to the public. Sheep and emus. Planted fruit trees, nut trees, gardens. Some days it was like everything was out to get us. Some days it was just magical. As the years have gone by, we’ve figured out what will and won’t work for us on this land. Goats were great for clearing land. We kept some of our rare breed chickens like the Sanjak, Svart Hone and Hmong. Oh! and Ayam Ketewa (the laughing chicken from India). Expanding this year into keeping more emus. We found a community that loves our value-added products across the state and I found out I can make some awesome hot sauces. I’ll be cleaning up this website over the next few weeks. Hopefully remember to update it more than once a month going forward too! Our facebook farm page is very active please join us over there for daily updates, recipes and other interesting musings and such. Here is to 2026!

Been a while

Well, it has been a LONG while since I’ve sat down and posted here 🙂 but last year reminds me of this picture our friend Jeremy Cutlip took of the original home on our property during the covid lockdowns… cold and empty and well, a picture is worth a thousand words right? We spent the year 2020 scrambling to keep our farm going like many other farmers did and still have to. We made choices and decisions just like everyone else. But! here we are! still standing and ready to move forward with covid in the review mirror! We are excited that farmers markets are back open, that we have found a place to get hog and goat meat processed sooner rather than later (meaning our shares are back on the table for dinner!) We have started back up breeding Silver Fox rabbits for the most delicious rabbit you have yet to try and to begin offering them for sale for your own breeding program. We still have our pastured eggs, seasonal veggies and pasture raised chicken for sale along with delicious jams, sauces and well, whatever my creative mind comes up with! Including some delicious ways to eat ramps! Still working on our store front here but in the meantime you can visit our Etsy store to get started! Standy by!

Its Hatch Day!

Always exciting when new life is born on Num Num Farms…this weekend its been Serama (little lawn ornaments that think they are real chickens!) and now new Bresse are hatching. Some we will keep for our flock and others will be grown out on pasture and then fed out for mouth watering chicken on the dinner plate! Did you know the Bresse chicken is considered the worlds best tasting chicken? Find out more here. Oh! and we sell chicks and hatching eggs too! For more information on our chicks and eggs please visit here. To buy a Bresse for you dinner table, please contact us!
