ABOUT MOUNTAINSIDE FAMILY FARMS:
The George's and Campbell's love farming! We believe that animals have an innate and natural design for a happy and healthy life, and that this is the best biological model for animal production and land stewardship. We have chosen to disregard the ways of modern agriculture which have sadly diminished the quality of life of its livestock, and as a consequence, have also diminished the taste and nutritional quality of the meat. We produce a premium product that supports local agriculture and promotes healthy communities. Both farms are located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, thus the name: Mountainside Family Farms. Will and Amy Campbell’s farm is located in Saltville, VA. Collin and Melissa George’s farm is located in Swannanoa, NC.
As farmers, we look to creation and do our best to see that every animal is permitted to express itself to the fullest. Our cows graze, our pigs root, and our chickens scratch and peck in green pastures.
