Rooted in Flavor: Inside the Growing Operation at Deer Park Farm

When people talk about farm to table, it often feels like a buzzword, but at Deer Park Farm, it's a way of life. Tucked away in the rolling hills of Southwest Virginia, our working Virginia farm is home to a thriving growing operation that fuels everything we make, from scratch-made pastas to brined olives, jams, sauces, and more.

Led by Shiloh Moates and his dedicated team, our fields and greenhouses are where the magic happens. We grow everything with care, using sustainable practices that honor the land and nourish our community. Our operation blends traditional hands-on farming with the innovation of season-extending greenhouses, ensuring we can offer fresh produce nearly year-round.

And we don’t just grow food. We grow flavor.

When you shop from our Virginia farm store or visit us at the Floyd Farmers Market, you’re not just buying Virginia produce. You’re investing in it. Every product we sell directly supports our fields and greenhouses. That means you’re tasting the literal fruits of our labor—vibrant, nutrient-rich ingredients picked at their prime. It’s not just fresh, it’s peak flavor straight from the source.

Want to see where your food comes from? We welcome you to tour our Virginia farm and experience the land firsthand. Walk the rows of herbs, peek inside our greenhouses, and even volunteer alongside our crew. It’s a chance to reconnect with the roots of real food, and yes, to get your hands a little dirty.
