From Our Family To Yours ...
Family Roots Farm is nestled in the hills of Brooke County, WV overlooking Brooke Hills Park. Homesteaded by Henry Hervey in 1770's, the family farm has been passed through the Hervey family for eight generations.
Britney Hervey Farris and her husband Charlie Farris established Family Roots Farm in 2012. Both coming from agricultural backgrounds they decided rather than getting part time jobs in the evenings, to plant an acre of sweet corn to sell at a road side stand. The acre of sweet corn has now grown into 6 acres of seasonal produce, two high tunnels, and U-Pick Strawberries. We sell at Brooke County Farmers Market, on-farm pick ups, and multiple retail stores.
In 2013, the sweetest thing hit the market - The Hervey Family’s Maple Syrup! A family tradition for over ten years, the family’s sugarmaker Fred Hervey, decided to begin offering our families syrup for sale. Not only do we have our 100% Pure Syrup for sale but also Pure Maple Sugar, Maple Nuts, Maple Cotton Candy, and more! In 2015, Family Roots Farm received 1st place for their Maple Sugar at the International Maple Conference and a perfect score for their Maple Syrup. In 2018, Family Roots Farm continue to receive blue ribbons of excellent at the International Maple Conference for their Maple Sugar, Maple Cream and Maple Syrup!
We also produce another Pure All Natural Sweetener – Sorghum!
In 2019 we added Farm to Table Dinners and Experiences. Guest enjoyed seasonal meals featured around our farm and fellow farmers and often had a chance to participate in the process of how their food got on their table!
In December 2017, our 8th generation farmer entered the World, Grady Frederick Farris. Gray now, 2 is set to have a fun summer on the farm. He loves the outdoors. In January 2020, 8th generation #2 entered the World, Mylah Ann Farris. At a few months old Mylah has already "helped" tap trees and plant tomatoes in the high tunnels. We truly are blessed.
As our daily lives adjust to covid-19 so are the operations of our small family farm. Please be patient as we learn to navigate the new normal while keeping our family and community safe.
From Our Family to Yours, Thank you & Enjoy!
