Berriedale Farms is located among the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia in the Cowpasture River Valley. Our heritage family farm is arguably the first in the UnitedStates to be protected by both a Land and Rare Breeds Conservation easement. The Nature Conservancy oversees our land conservation best management practices. And we closely collaborate with the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy on the protection of Red Poll cattle –an ALBC “threatened” heritage breed.

Cabin on the Cowpasture for Rent
Berriedale Farms and its Cabin on the Cowpasture River, is ideal for family vacations, father and son hunting trips, and mother and daughter get-a-ways.
