barbara Stewart
Virginia Naturals was a business idea for many years before it finally became a reality for me in 2015. In my early years, I was a secretary and then was a stay-at-home mom homeschooling our four daughters. As an owner of a small farm, I have many responsibilities. My favorites include planning the field map for the growing season, planting seedlings in the field, making bouquets, and talking about gardening with my customers.

Heather is a lab technician at an emergency center. She supports the farm by starting thousands of seeds in our hoophouse and arranging beautiful flower bouquets for the farmer’s market. In the fall, her focus turns to our dried flowers and she creates amazing wreaths for sale in our online store and local craft shows.
MEGAN STewart
Megan’s creative side is showing in the beautifully arranged mason jar bouquets that she creates for the farmer’s market every week. She also keeps the buckets cleaned and ready for flowers and washes and packages eggs for our weekly customers. When she’s not doing farm work, her time is spent writing stories and working towards an English degree by attending classes at the local college.
BARRY STewart
