“Do you mean to tell me Katie Scarlett O’Hara, that Tara – that land doesn’t mean anything to you? Why land’s the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it’s the only thing that lasts. Now you’re just a child. It’ll come to you, this love of the land.”
Gone With The Wind, 1939

Looking for a cool place to do an outdoor team building exercise followed by a casual indoor meeting space that’s not your conference room? Come & visit PVF, where the chairs are comfy and the wifi is speedy.
We host wine tastings, food pairings, Sunday brunch and more. We value nothing more than the time we’ve spent with family here on the farm. Soon we will be hosting hayrides, outdoor movie nights and more. If you’d like to be updated as events are scheduled, please join our email list below.

Our 100+ years of History
According to family history, Pleasant Valley Farm was passed to the Erwin family in approximately 1837. Over the years, the farm was improved by each generation that held the deed.

While the early years focused on family sustenance, later years saw the farm improve its productivity and sell more crops and livestock to the public.
In 1900, John Dixon, one of the cousins, purchased the 365-acre farm from his in-laws. The first farmhouse, aka The Old Homestead, was constructed in the late 1850s…
