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 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 would 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.
