Featured Heirloom Beans:

In May 2022, the Wise County Unit of Virginia Cooperative Extension took possession of an heirloom seed collection developed by Silas Gilliam of Wise, VA.  Our hope is to protect this impressive collection, but also to expand it by allowing a limited number of those varieties to be grown in the community.  Click here to view the featured heirloom beans.

If you have hay to sell or are looking to buy, contact us with as much detail as possible (How many bales?  What size?  What grass or legume species?), and hopefully those connections can be made here.
