Sunrise Farms Celebrates 20 Years!

Join us in celebrating 20 years of non-GMO farming at Sunrise Farms! Maynard Miller always dreamed of owning a farm in the Shenandoah Valley and was happy for the opportunity to purchase Sunrise Farms in 2003. Today, Maynard, his sons, and dedicated employees work the land together, sharing their family values of hard work, customer service and quality products with their community. The growth of the farm and non-GMO feed mill since those early days demonstrates Maynard’s commitment to these values. Today, the team at Sunrise Farms is happy to continue working closely on the family farm, milling high quality non-GMO feed, and providing clients with all-natural meats. We look forward to celebrating with the Sunrise Farms community in July!

Great selection of natural and local products. I love the simplicity of this little store. If you’re visiting from out of town and want a small town experience- this is the place to go! Not too far from the cheese shop, so you can easily plan to go to both on one outing.

We moved to this area five years ago. We feel blessed to have Sunrise Farms in our life. I’ m confident the food I purchase from you is the best, and this gives us the assurance we need of eating healthy. Thank you…. also the honor system of placing money in box would be unheard of where we moved from! God bless you all, and “keep on-keeping on.”

The store is immaculate and their products displayed well and are easily accessible. I so appreciate this family run farm and even enjoy the dog that has often greeted me there. Highly recommend this store to everyone.
