The Roots of a Chestnut Legacy: Route 9 Formula of Success Some farms are built for profit. Others are built for legacy. Route 9 Cooperative, founded by Greg Miller and a handful of die-hard chestnut growers, is firmly in the latter camp. This isn’t just…

Need fruit ideas?
Persimmon pudding, breads, cookies—or just eaten sun-warmed off the tree.
They’re sweet, bold, and 100% Appalachian.

Fences out, trees in. We’re tearing down barriers to open up prime space for chestnuts, hazelnuts, and black walnuts. The western windbreak? That’s our first line of defense against erosion and wind stress. Farming is strategy, and we’re playing the long game. #RegenerativeAg #GoldberryGrove

Want to farm without chemicals? Learn your weeds. Some, like chicory, mean deep soil health. Others, like tree of heaven, mean *trouble.* The key to sustainable land management? Observe, adapt, and let nature work *for* you. #GoldberryGrove

A good weed strategy isn’t “kill them all.” It’s “which ones belong?” Dandelions pull minerals up, goldenrod feeds pollinators, but tree of heaven? It poisons the soil. Thoughtful weed management = better land, better livestock, better farming. #GoldberryGrove

Not all weeds are bad. Clover fixes nitrogen. Plantain heals soil and livestock alike. But tree of heaven? That one’s gotta burn. Managing weeds isn’t about eradication—it’s about knowing which ones work for us and which ones take more than they give. #GoldberryGrove
