Rooted in Bath and Augusta County, Virginia, we bring together contracting expertise, biodiversity conservation, regenerative farming, and direct-to-consumer goods under one roof. Each venture an expression of the same core values: stewardship, transparency, and a long-term commitment to the land and the communities that depend on it.

Pig & Nut

Rooted in the Land. Crafted for You.

Pig & Nut Farm Shop is an extension of Cloverdale Farm — 800 acres of regenerative land in the Allegheny Highlands of Virginia. Tended by the people who live on it and the professionals who study it, every acre is carefully monitored and farmed with intention. What grows here becomes what you’ll find in this shop: smoke blends, raw honey, seasonal produce, handcrafted goods, and more — real products from a real farm, made for you. Explore what the farm is growing this season.
