Farm Description: Kelly Ridge Farms is nestled within the scenic valleys and ridges of Southwest Virginia, just outside of Meadowview Virginia.   The Farm’s goal is to return a centuries-old growing tradition to the Eastern United States in a manner that maintains both profitability and integrity.  Kelly Ridge Farms focuses on raising local hops for regional microbrewers.  It also produces pasture-raised heritage breed pigs and sheep.  

In 2018, Justen and three other business partners joined to establish Tumbling Creek Cider Company, which has established apple and hard cider production operations at the farm.  Work began in 2018 to revitalize the existing apple orchard and to begin propagating heirloom apple trees for additional orchard expansion this year.  Our 2,000 sq. ft. cidery production facility was finished in May 2019 and is now a fully licensed Farm Winery.  Tumbling Creek Cider Company anticipates releasing local heritage-inspired craft hard ciders to the public in November 2019

We grow 4 varieties of wine grapes in Russell County and 8 varieties in Wise County.  We grow one plot of Concord grapes for a “Pick Your Own” operation in September of each year. We operate a tasting room for wines that we make from our own grapes where we also host many other events such as Sip N Paints, Murder Mystery dinners, weddings, tours, etc. We are making an award winning cider, Bear Creek Cider. We have some apple and pear trees bearing fruit and about 150 baby trees we hope to use for cider in the future. We also sell our wines wholesale to Food City and several restaurants. We have been selling our wines for over 14 years and have earned many gold, silver and bronze medals.

In addition to grapes, we harvest sap for locally grown and processed maple syrup. In past years, we have also grown sorghum cane for sorghum syrup, mums, and operated a CSA.  We also have an experimental field of elderberries, nettle and peppermint that we are growing for Lush Cosmetics, partnering with ASD (Appalachian Sustainable Development). We operate a small greenhouse and grow many of our own vines and some plants.  We love growing on our 150 year old farm and wish we could grow more!
