A small family farm located in Louisa County near Zion Crossroads, Forrest Green Farm is committed to supplying the best naturally and ecologically grown medicinal and culinary herb plants, vegetables, grass-fed beef, pastured chicken eggs, pastured poultry, and horse hay. Another specialty of Forrest Green Farm is their registered Polled Miniature Herefords. Classes on gardening and healthy living focus on growing for the future by teaching about natural and sustainable methods of growing herbs and vegetables for healthier, self-reliant living.

Special Programs:
