Welcome Perennial Roots Farm

Located in Accomack County and serving Northampton County, Perennial Roots Farm is a sustainable farm specializing in heritage breeds and heirloom crops.  With genetically modified crops creating quite a stir among the general populace and the growing concern for sustainable farming, Perennial Roots Farm has returned to the tried and true methods of farming from yesteryear.  Heritage breeds of chickens, ducks, rabbits, and other livestock "live off the land" and don't require grains as their primary food source.  What you get from heritage breeds are richer eggs and better tasting meat.  Heirloom crops are adapted to our environment and are naturally disease resistant and compete well with "weeds", all traits which eliminates the necessity of using herbicides and pesticides to grow the crops.  Besides, the heritage breeds of animals do a good job at controlling weeds and pests!  So let's welcome Perennial Roots Farm to the family of locally owned and operated businesses, a farm dedicated to restoring the agricultural and economic vibrancy the Eastern Shore of Virginia was once known for.
