Farm: The gentle, rolling acreage at True Ewe Farm offers first-rate pasture as the result of a comprehensive pasture reclamation project. The fields are planted in excellent stands of orchard grass, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial rye, clover and other forbs, and are also suitable for crops, viticulture or any number of agricultural pursuits.
The new fencing throughout the farm is geared toward smaller livestock, and grazing and sorting paddocks have been thoughtfully designed with access to shelter. Water hydrants along the fence line offer water in almost every grazing paddock. While much of the farm is in open pasture, woodlands on the front and side perimeter provide privacy. A beautiful pond and outstanding views of the Blue Ridge mountains and the rolling landscape of the Piedmont make this a wonderful family farm. The property is also served by two wells.
