Thanks to all who came out and enjoyed the PawPaw Festival WV! We had a great time meeting new people and seeing familiar faces again. The festival was a huge success and we will start working on next year’s festival real soon. The date will be September 11th 2027 and additional details will be posted on the official page listed below, so be sure to follow the page for updates. We heard your feedback on more food vendors and a few other items, but the feedback has been generally very positive and it appears attendees seemed to have a good time. We wish you well until we see you again at next year’s festival!

If you want pawpaw goo in your mouth, click it.
If you don’t, that’s between you and God.

I’ve been awake since 4am dealing with website gremlins who think the internet is powered by moonshine and moon shine, so please… just get your tickets before I start throwing pawpaws.

FARM CRAWL !!!

It’s that time of year again – Farm Crawl! And Homestead Farm Tours / Great Escape Farms is taking part in Farm Crawl on Saturday July 11th from 10AM to 4PM. Come out and do a self-paced or a guided tour. Purchase unique edible plants at our nursery for a 10% discount. Details below.

Farm Crawl Farm Tours:
Two Options: Self-paced/self-guided farm tours or we will be giving guided 30-minute farm tours each hour on the hour. Don’t feel that you are committing to the full time slot. You can join mid-tour and drop off whenever you feel you’d like to. The guided tours are in our perennial sheet mulch garden where we explain how it is designed and put together for almost no money and there are many unique edible plants you can sample during the tour if you choose.

Plants: As a Farm Crawl special, all plants will be 10% off the ticked price. We will have a person available to help you with plant sales throughout the day – you don’t have to wait for the farm tours to stop.

Plant Nursery
Our unique edible plants are propagated and grown on the farm with only a few exceptions.
Each plant either produces edible berries, fruits or is of itself entirely edible. When we say unique, we mean that our plants are generally items that you cannot find locally at that big box stores. Things like Elderberry, Pawpaw, Hardy Kiwi, Persimmon, Honeyberry, Hardy Fig, Sea Kale, Anise Hyssop, Hazelnut, Hardy Passion Flower, and many other items.

Address: 167 2-Lick Lane, Romney, WV
