Pasture-Raised Pork & Chicken From Our Family To Yours

Diverse and sustainable nourishment for your family, our community, and mother earth.

Our Story

Bramble Hollow
Resting on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge mountains in Bedford County, Virginia, Bramble Hollow Farm has been providing pastured poultry and pork for nearly two decades. Since 2004, Brent & Anna Wills have been building a diverse farm operation and have provided a model for other farmers and homesteaders to emulate. With the health of the land, plants and animals being a priority, Bramble Hollow is a true demonstration of what a family-owned diversified mountain farm can be, guiding the natural principles of food production to support the community and uplifting other farmers and growers in the Roanoke valley and beyond.

Pasture-Raised Chicken

I have never had chicken that tasted that good“. That familiar comment illustrates why we raise our animals on pasture and forest paddocks at Bramble Hollow Farm. Nutrient density, flavor profile and texture are all signs of healthy animals with access to plenty of sunshine and diverse forages to enhance their diet.

Pasture-Raised Pork

Raising pigs on pasture in the mountains of Virginia is a hardy endeavor and requires two main ingredients: patience and a good fence charger. We allow our pigs to roam in forested paddocks, able to root, toot and scoot as they please…and the proof is in the pork chops.

Jack’s Eggs

In 2016, Jack took over the egg operation at Bramble Hollow Farm and had built a strong reputation for the best eggs in the area. Moving his flock regularly to fresh pasture allows Jack’s Eggs to not only provide premium eggs for the table but also helps to build the soils on the farm and improve the local ecology at the same time.

Chicks and Hatching Eggs

Starting in 2017, Bramble Hollow Farm began a breeding program for heritage breed poultry, primarily New Hampshire chickens, striving to create a true dual-purpose breed that makes a nice carcass for the table as well as good egg production. Now NPIP certified, Bramble Hollow Farm is situated well to provide premium genetics to other growers.

Wills Soil & Stream

Like most things in life, there are no real silver bullets. Farming is no different, and Wills Soil & Stream was created out of experience and a passion for health land stewardship. With a focus on natural systems like carbon cycling and biological diversity, we help farmers and growers build healthy and resilient soils and reduce the need for technological interventions and other unnecessary practices.
