2nd40 to 420 - The Farm
16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents39 acres · Pamplin, VAThe Farm was originally named 2nd 4o by my parents.
They planned to live the 2nd forty years of their lives together on the farm.
My parents both grew up on the southside of Chicago - where having a
tree in your yard meant that you had "made it".
They decided to use the land to grow
Christmas Trees.
This did not last long :)
- but the saplings my dad planted by hand are still here & maybe 70' tall!
Then my husband & I bought The Farm in 2017 for the 2nd forty years of our life & my parents built their little house right here.
My husband and I immediately knew that our dream was to grow a different kind of "tree", so in 2019 we were among the first group to receive our license to grow hemp.
We are passionate about both the hemp and cannabis plants!
In 2020 when it finally became legal to grow cannabis, we immediately added that to our garden as well and 2nd 40 to 420 was born, or shall I say planted.
We currently rent out our 2 RV's 3 Yurts & primitive sites , we also offer group bookings & Canna-friendly B&B options. We plan to add septic & electric hook-ups for RV's in the near future.
Come join us in Growing our Dreams!
Learn more about this land:
Large farm with acres for tent camping. 2 RVs on site - available for rental - able to pull in RV's420 friendly - bed & breakfast options available. Creek, walking & riding trails, in season pool. Happy to host you with a variety of options. This option is for primitive camping on site.
