Geocache Description:


This is the first in a series of caches developed to highlight the diversity, history and importance of Virginia's largest industry, Agriculture. The agriculture industry contributes $55 billion annually to the state's economy and provides more than 357,000 jobs. Virginia has more than 47,000 farms covering 8.1 million acres, the equivalent of 32% of Virginia's total land area. Virginia's diverse agriculture industry includes commodities such as broiler chickens, beef, milk, apples, Christmas trees, clams, corn, cut flowers, goats, hay, lamb and wool, mushrooms, peaches, peanuts, potatoes, soybeans, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, trout, turkeys, watermelons, wine grapes and many other items.

College Run Farms is a diversified, family farm operation owned by Steve and Jordan Berryman. The farm offers "you-pick" strawberries, blueberries and sweet corn, as well as, a wide range of vegetables available from the farm store during the summer. During the fall, College Run Farms offers the opportunity to search for that perfect pumpkin and "get lost" in a corn maze.

It is requested that you limit your caching visits to daylight hours. Given that this is a working farm operation, the farm owners have requested that you do not venture out into the fields or behind the farm store without prior permission. Steve, Jordan and all of their employees are aware of the cache, so feel free to say hello while you are there and ask any questions that you may have about their operation.

The cache location is friendly for all members of the family and is located in front of the farm store, with plenty of parking available nearby. The cache contains a logbook and is big enough for small collectibles. Bring your own pen.
