Sandyfoot Farm is owned and operated by Gavin Sanderlin and Meredith Atthowe. It is a 40 acre family farm in Prince Edward County, located near Pamplin, Virginia established in 2009. We grow on the sandy bottomland of the farm; the rest of the land is forest and field habitat. Prior to our stewardship here, this land was a homestead and has grown vegetable crops, tobacco, hay, and cattle. Arrowheads and other evidence show us this land has been feeding folks for quite some time. Our goal is to operate in a way that enables our land to nourish local eaters for generations to come.

Gavin has been involved in the field of farm design and soil conservation for two decades. With a background in biology, he is most interested in furthering education on all aspects of the functioning farm. Meredith finds joy in growing and eating seasonally and learning about longevity and healthy living… which includes eating lots of vegetables!
