Moving To The Farm
Hi, I’m Lexi. Not long ago, Jason and I were living the suburban dream—great schools, nearby amenities, and all the Netflix our Wi-Fi could handle. But something was missing. A small spark grew into a deep passion for farming, and soon, we found ourselves in the rolling countryside of Scottsville, VA, starting Longbottom Farm.
Today, we’re a family-run farm near Charlottesville, VA, raising pasture-raised meats and eggs with a focus on health, sustainability, and responsible farming. Alongside our three daughters—our “farmhands-in-training”—we’re dedicated to nurturing the land, caring for animals, and providing local families with nutrient-dense food.
When we’re not on the farm, we’re both healthcare professionals, which gives us a unique perspective on the connection between quality food and overall wellness. That’s why we’re committed to raising livestock naturally, without antibiotics or hormones, so you can trust what’s on your plate.
Welcome to Longbottom Farm—where good food starts with good farming.
Our New Home
Nestled along the James River in Scottsville, Virginia (Buckingham County), Longbottom Farm spans 55 acres of rich farmland. This land has a long history, once home to cattle and pork production, wood milling, and more recently, corn and soybean farming. By the time we arrived, the land needed serious care—and pasture-based livestock farming was the perfect way to restore it.
Today, our grass-fed cattle graze the fields, naturally mowing and fertilizing the land, creating lush, nutrient-rich pastures. Meanwhile, our pastured poultry roam freely, scratching and foraging, all while contributing to soil health and producing some of the freshest, most flavorful free-range eggs in the area.
By working with nature instead of against it, we’re regenerating the land while raising high-quality, pasture-raised meats for families in Scottsville, Charlottesville, and beyond.
Why Local is Important
Knowing where our food comes from matters. Like many of you, we want to understand how it’s produced—and the truth is, that answer isn’t always clear unless you know your farmer. At Longbottom Farm, we’re bridging that gap by raising healthy animals the right way—free to roam, express natural behaviors, and thrive without cages or chemicals.
By working with nature instead of against it, our farming practices restore the land while producing high-quality food. It’s a simple approach that benefits both the animals and the environment, giving you a premium product you can trust—all while supporting local and “going green.”
