SUNNYSIDE FARM & ORCHARD
Jefferson County, WV
Jim Huyett's 245-acre Sunnyside Farm and Orchards in Charles Town, WV, has been in the Huyett family since the 1850s. Over the years, the land has supported cattle, sheep, corn, wheat and fruit. Since the mid-1980s Jim and his wife, Barbara, have been phasing out apple production and increasing their acres of vegetables and peaches. 'Farming is a roller-coaster ride of emotions,' says Jim, who uses sustainable-agriculture practices on his farm. Sunnyside sells at the Dupont Circle, Foggy Bottom and By the White House FRESHFARM Markets, and at farmer's markets in VA, including Sterling on Wednesdays, McLean on Fridays, and Falls Church on Saturdays.
