Historic Mountain View Farm

Mountain View Farm is the historical name of the dairy operation that once sustained generations of farm families on this land. The Blue Ridge Center supports sustainable farming practices by hosting an independently operated farm on our land, and by working with other local farmers.

Attila Agoston and Shawna DeWitt are the Blue Ridge Center's resident farmers. Their market garden and livestock operation demonstrates that food cultivation can be -- and must be -- done in harmony with nature.

Mountain View Farm is another of the Blue Ridge Center's innovative approaches to environmental stewardship. In exchange for using our land, our resident farmers provide an important laboratory and classroom for exploring the interrelationships between food cultivation and the ecological values central to our mission.
