We don’t just grow food. We grow legacy, stewardship, and healing
Cultivating connection to the land, nourishing bodies and communities with purpose.
The Eden Preserve at Winchester
Welcome to The Eden Preserve at Winchester — a generational farming project rooted in purpose, powered by love, and planted on sacred Virginia soil. Our land is a place where nature, nurture, and nourishment come together in harmony.
Planted with Purpose. Preserved by Legacy
The Eden Preserve at Winchester was founded by the Holmes and Quarles families as a transformative response to the need for healthier food, deeper connection, and stronger community. Situated on a fertile five-acre parcel in King William County, this land was entrusted to us as a legacy—and we are committed to honoring it.
Rooted in Wellness, Grown for the Future
What started as a shared vision to provide fresh, chemical-free food for our families has blossomed into a regenerative, year-round farming initiative that blends traditional growing practices with modern agricultural sustainability.
We believe the land can heal if we let it. We believe families can thrive when they know what they’re eating. And we believe farming should be a communal act of love, stewardship, and empowerment.
Our Mission
To restore our community’s connection to the land by growing high-quality, pesticide-free food year-round, employing ethical and regenerative practices, and creating economic, educational, and healing opportunities through agriculture.
