Sunrise Farms Expands Non-GMO Feed Retail Store
Sunrise Farms is excited to announce the expansion of our feed store in Stuarts Draft, Virginia. This larger retail space provides farmers, homesteaders, and animal owners an even greater selection of fresh non-GMO feed for chickens, goats, swine, cattle, and sheep.
What began more than 20 years ago as a small family vision has steadily grown into a trusted source for healthy, farm-fresh feed throughout Virginia and the East Coast.
Our story began in 2003 when Maynard and Shirley Miller purchased a 90-acre farm with the vision of creating a sustainable livelihood for their family while staying connected to their agricultural roots. Inspired by the sunrise visible across the eastern hills of the property, they named the farm Sunrise Farms and began producing non-GMO feed rooted in transparency and stewardship.
“Sunrise Farms was built on the values of a strong work ethic, a love for being close to nature, and a desire to serve our community,” says Maynard Miller, Owner and Farm Manager.
A Legacy of Quality Continues
That philosophy continues inside the retail store, where customers can speak directly with knowledgeable staff and find feed tailored to their animals’ needs.
Community members say that openness is part of what keeps them coming back.
“Great quality feed and very friendly staff! Very helpful when visiting the farm for the first time when picking up feed,” said Sheridan F.
“Great selection of natural and local products. I love the simplicity of this little store,” added Vanessa D. “If you’re visiting from out of town and want a small town experience—this is the place to go!”
Why Non-GMO Feed Matters
We believe the quality of feed matters from the very beginning of an animal’s life. We produce our Non-GMO feed using grains that are not genetically modified, allowing farmers and families to make more intentional choices about what they feed their animals.
For many, choosing non-GMO feed aligns with a broader commitment to responsible agriculture, transparency and natural farming practices. It also provides peace of mind knowing the exact ingredients in the feed and where they come from.
Because we work closely with trusted grain suppliers and maintain strict standards throughout production, our customers can feel confident they are receiving fresh feed produced with integrity and care.
Ethical Farming Remains the Focus
Ethical farming practices and responsible stewardship remain central to everything we do. We believe in caring responsibly for our land, animals, and customers while producing feed people can feel confident using on their farms and homesteads.
