Oliver Farms LLC is located in Smithfield, Virginia and run by fourth generation farmers: Jimmy and JV Oliver. Primarily a row crop farm, the cousins grow cotton, soybeans, corn and wheat on the family owned farm.
Oliver Farms Produce begins each produce year with the planting of our summer produce. In late June through August, we open the windows on “The Shack” where we have produce fresh picked daily: sweet corn, butterbeans and crowder peas. Fall produce: collards, cabbage, broccoli, kale and brussel sprouts are planted late summer and ready for your Thanksgiving and Christmas tables.

Are the strawberries sprayed?
No
Has your produce been certified organic? I’d LOVE to get some of your produce but I am very sensitive to pesticides. Thanks!
We do not put anything on our produce. In order to be CERTIFIED organic, land must lay out of production for 3 years. We are a working farm and this is our sole incoome, so we cannot do that. By rotating our fields each year, pests don’t build up in the soil thus not given the same plant as a host. We have lots of bees, ladybugs and earthworms on our farm.
I understand from C3 Vino that you make sausage. Would you ever consider holding a class? I raise my own pigs and really want to learn to make sausage. None of my attempts have really been good.
While the farm was started back in the early 1900’s, and Jimmy’s grandfather, father and uncle slaughtered hogs, we no longer do that. Our sausage is made from pork trimmings.
In thinking about it, my best suggestion would be online! In this day and age, you can google anything!
Good luck.

Do you all make ice cream on the farm during You pick hours? And are your prices for You Pick the same as last year?
No ice cream. Prices are same as last year, but field conditions are much better this year. Weather has been kind this year and the berries are good size and wonderful flavor.
I make baskets and I have been looking for cotton stems to add to some of them. Would you sell a small number of cotton stems?
No, I’m sorry we do not.
