Barbara Stewart Owner Virginia Naturals

barbara Stewart

Virginia Naturals was a business idea for many years before it finally became a reality for me in 2015. In my early years, I was a secretary and then was a stay-at-home mom homeschooling our four daughters. As an owner of a small farm, I have many responsibilities. My favorites include planning the field map for the growing season, planting seedlings in the field, making bouquets, and talking about gardening with my customers.

MEGAN STewart

Megan’s creative side is showing in the beautifully arranged mason jar bouquets that she makes for our farm stand every week. In the fall, her focus turns to creating amazing wreaths with the flowers that we grew and dried at the farm. She also starts thousands of seeds in our greenhouse and washes and packages eggs for our weekly customers.
