Our Story
A Tobacco Farm of Three Generations had to make a decision...
Just like so many tobacco farmers in these times, we found it increasingly difficult to make a living from just tobacco and small grain production. As a result, we began to explore new ways to supplement our income through diversification and expansion. We knew we wanted to share our love for farming with others; so, the idea of adding Agri-Tourism to our farm seemed an obvious choice!
We made a big decision…
Together, our family now operates The Scoop! @ Willow Oak Farms as part of our farming operation. We are striving to maintain our family farm by diversifying and adding family-friendly experiences on a working farm, to allow us to share our love of what we learned about farming from past generations with future generations.
We converted a our barn…
In the Fall of 2020, it was time to make our dream a reality. We already had a perfect building on the farm which could soon be converted into the ice cream shop. Then, we were on our way to transforming a piece of our past into the next phase of farming for our family generations to come.
