WHAT THE FARM
5429 Morris Neck Road
Virginia Beach, VA 23457
Here at What The Farm, we believe you should know where your food comes from and the farming practices used to produce it. Since 2018, we’ve provided local families with an affordable way to bring home food free of chemicals and hormones.
Using our What The Farm System, we harvest food without pesticides, growth hormones, or GMOs. Our eco-friendly, healthy, and sustainable farming practices benefit both the environment and you, the consumer. Buy regeneratively grown food to build a food system that will save the planet.
All of our farm tours offer a behind-the-scenes look at regenerative farming, mob stocking, and how we serve the SOIL, serve the ANIMALS, and serve the COMMUNITY with our mission. Our goal is to ensure that your trip to our farm is a memorable learning experience to have fun while getting outdoors!
- Enjoy The Fresh Air In A Screen-free Zone: Increase physical activity to enhance sensory stimulation while connecting with the great outdoors.
- Learn About Sustainable Agricultural Practices: Protect the earth, which means understanding how vital your role is in producing the food that feeds you, your families, and friends.
- Understand How Mob Stocking Works: Animals can actually be beneficial to the environment when we move our sheep, pigs, and chickens to a new patch of grass every day.
After walking the farm, seeing and petting the animals we will have prepped and ready for tasting one of our favorite dishes with our farm to table meat.
Fresh meat and produce will also be available for purchase at the What The Farm Store.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a working farm. So wear comfy clothes. And shoes you wouldn’t mind introducing to some mud (and other stuff that looks like mud).

How A Three Species Rotation Is Helpful To The Environment

How To Freeze And Use Whole Turkeys Throughout The Year
The Sunday before Thanksgiving marks an important day at What the Farm. It’s the END of “processing season” (praise Jesus!) After 8 full days of taking the chicken from the pasture to the freezer, we are ready for a break. This year we kept 5 whole turkeys (not...
4 Reasons To Practice Regenerative Farming For Your Livestock
A lot of people ask us why we farm the way we do… and what's regenerative farming? It seems like a lot of work moving chickens, sheep, and turkeys every day. When we started, I agreed. Do we really need to move them after just one day? Why can’t we give them more...
