What makes W.T. Farm special is the diversity of textures of the landscape. We have great mountain top views, as well as, a deep holler with cliffs, rock outcroppings, and waterfalls. The fields are full of fruit and nut trees and there are 5 ponds. Each of these supports its own flora and fauna. I acquired stewardship of this land 35 years ago and have developed perennial orchards wherever possible. I started with pears and have branched out into pawpaws, apples, persimmons, currants, black walnuts etc. and I boast that I planted the first commercial hickory oil orchard in the world. I am an eccentric horticulturalist and graft cultivar varieties onto existing trees like oaks, hickories, black walnuts, and even the maligned invasive honeysuckle, autumn olive and multiflora rose. Just last year I bought an adjoining farm that opened up 50 acres of more orchard planting. It is on top of the mountain and offers an expansive view of the valley and ridge system that defines our region. Funny thing is that because the land between the old farm and the new farm is divided by cliffs in the holler the only way to get from one to the other is a 12 minute drive or vigorous hiking. On this new land is a historic log cabin I am renovating that is said to be one of the original settler's cabin on the mountain. Because of the amount of tree fruit I grow and the varied landscape, there is a rich diversity of birds and animals to be seen. One of my favorite walks is along the cliffs to the top waterfall where there is a sweet wading pool. I have also built a number of ponds and four of them are quite swimmable. One has a dock and is where we spend much summer time refreshing and frolicking. The farm is also a small (very small) licensed farm winery and we make and sell traditional hard cider from our apples and pears. Our cider can be purchased along with our nut oils and flours and other farm produce you may not be familiar with. We live to eat. Coming here is a gastronomical adventure! I run the Acornucopia project from here and from it we are developing a foragers network that would very much suit the lifestyle of hipcampers. We pay foragers for wild nuts they gather. Also often there is an opportunity to work on the farm harvesting and processing food. Let me know if that is something you would like to do. Treely Yours, Bill

Holler-lujah in the Run

100% (3)

Tent site · Sleeps 2

This tent site is perched over the "run" which is the creek that runs through the holler. It is easy to access, but it feels like you are deep in an Appalachian cove. It is always cooler and shady down there. There are 6 waterfalls above it that range from 6' to 20' high. The run is most dramatic in the winter/ spring and can go to a trickle during the dry season. This is by far the most primitive and private site. You also have access to the kitchen at the old homesite up the hill which has electric, running water, stove and fridge.

Grand Vista Orchard site is located at the bottom of the nut orchard and is a flat grassy mowed spot among the shade of a row of oak trees. It is a good site if you like convenience. It has electrical and water hookup for two RVs. It is by a low-traffic road where you would most likely be happy to see someone go by and wave. It is inside an 8' deer fence that circles around the perimeter of the 40 acre nut orchard of nascent trees. This site boasts the best long views on the Farm that look well into Virginia. While in the orchard, it is important to stay to the roads so as not to hurt the young trees and to keep the gate closed. Behind the orchard is lovely walking on easy logging roads including rock outcrops and waterfalls. If the ground is too wet for your RV, I have a backup site a 1/4 mile away by the old log house that sits next to a rowdy frog pond. There is a good gravel driveway, outdoor shower, outdoor sauna, an RV hookup, a hose, but not a hose hookup.

Deep Hollerlujah! Come revive yourselves in the Glory of Nature's wonderful West Virginia. I have found over the years that when people come here they sleep in. It's as though the freneticism of the rat race has people all wound up and when they rest among the smells, sounds, and fresh air of our woodlands signal their bodies to relax.....deeply. There is so much here to experience with the diversity of terrains from the songbirds to the fruits and foods that grow wildly along the forest edges. You will rehabilitate a piece of your soul here. Our farm consists mostly of organic fruit and nut production over 1/6 of the property. It is a wildly varied landscape of over 300 acres which provides dynamic hiking along cliffs, a creek, waterfalls, fields and woods, and ponds. We live to eat and I am a food enthusiast and eat a lot of wild foraged foods along with what I grow. We are nestled in a very quiet enclave of southeast WV and it is a sanctuary from the bustle. Deep Hollerlujah is a very private site. It is the original homesite on the farm and is a flat grassy area. There is a 3 walled open building that has a sink with well water, electric hotplate and light, refrigerator, kitchen counter space and the humanure bucket. There is a loft without a mattress, but mostly this site is intended for camping. It would love to see groups. The grassy site is perched right above the holler so a 2 minute walk down to the creek drops you into a different world. There is also a camping site down in the woods for a more primitive camping option if it is open.

Gramping shack

Booked 1 time

Cabin · Sleeps 4

Come sample early retirement at the gramping shack. "Gramping" is West Virginia glamping with a rocking chair. This sweet little shack is a 10 x 10 tiny house with a loft with a mattress for sleeping looking over our best swimming pond. There is a small fridge, table and a small gas stove with an oven. There is also a wood stove which makes it cozy for the cooler seasons. There will be humanure bucket provided as a toilet. Gramping shack is at the edge of the pear orchard with a nice open feel. It is mostly private aside from occasional passing farm activity. From here you have easy access to the woods in the holler. There is a nice grassy yard to park and layout on. It may get warm in the loft during the heat of the day, but cools off for sleeping. The firepit is by the pond.

Bill and his son welcomed us to the site bearing some fresh fruit and nuts! The spot is peaceful, beautiful and private. Bill provided a long extension cord and some fresh water from a spigot/hose . We loved hiking all over his land and checking out the waterfalls and the views from the cliffs. I would highly recommend W. T. Farm to folks looking for great views, rolling fields and an escape from people, most cars and all the hustle of life.

Family RV by the pond and orchard

RU Ready To RV?

We had an excellent stay with Bill. Due to the previous hurricane weather system, we stayed at the “backup” site. I wouldn’t have known it was a backup! Our two year old and our dog had a ball running around the pond. Bill also showed our son the garden and he had fun smelling all the plants (lavender, basil, sage, etc). We never thought to do something like that and he had so much fun. We “hiked” up the paced road to the young orchard and watched the gorgeous sunset. If the kids were older, this would have been a gorgeous spot to pitch a tent and watch the sunrise too! In the morning, we drove over to the main orchard, where Bill taught us about different trees, grafting and we took home some fruit and seeds. Our favorites were the pawpaws, persimmons and the most delicious apples!!! Definitely have some apples if they’re in season! Bill is an excellent host. His directions on how to get there were invaluable. Plus all the incredible knowledge he shares about the orchard, foraging (eatable plants and mushrooms we saw on our orchard walk) and growing our own pawpaws!

Camping in the orchard

8 ft travel trailer · With pets ·

RU Ready To RV?

We loved camping at Bill’s RV spot in the orchard. We had ample shade under the sawtooth oaks near the entrance to the orchard. The almost constant breeze on the mountain provided an oasis from summer temps. We had ample space to explore and eat gooseberries and currants (super tasty)! During the day, you can hear and see lots of birds and hear distant tree frogs trilling. On a clear night, the stargazing is great! Bill was very welcoming and taught us about his trees and the process of selective breeding and grafting. There is a road nearby to the RV spot as mentioned on the Hipcamp listing, but this didn’t bother us at all. The spot felt private with lots of surrounding trees and vegetation. We explored outside the fenced orchard to the wooded trail, which offered different views and cool rock outcroppings. We’ll have to come back to explore the other half of the farm and to see the trees in other seasons!

This place is wonderful and full of adventure! Bill was also very kind and helpful. I had a lovely time with my dogs playing in the water and just wandering around the camp site. Also bill was kind enough to set up a ladder by a mulberry tree, as they were in season, so I picked a lot of them for breakfast one day and they were delicious. The campsite has a beautiful view of the forest canopy and the stream. The whole experience was peaceful and magical and I will probably be going back sometime soon.

This is a great spot! Very remote but close enough for us to get out to some local parks and breweries in the area. Bill gave us a map of the land and had some great recommendations for things to do. Would definitely return!

Nuts, Frogs, & unexpected delights

We did not end up camping at the new RV spot in the Orchard b/c of the wet ground and weather. We instead parked our RV on his property that has the old farmhouse. We had not expected this but it worked out nicely. We didn't have the 30 amp plug but he had an extension cord so we could at least plug up to power which was fine with us. Our RV awning broke while we were there and Bill took time to help us fix it, even though we knew he had other obligations. We spent a bit of time talking with him and he is truly one of a kind. He has his hands in all kids of fun projects and was a wealth of interesting knowledge. The property by the old house had an outdoor shower, fire pit, and a lovely pond that had the most beautiful symphony of frogs. Bill was great with our kids (ages 6 and 4). He did a presentation about nuts and it was funny, informative, and perfect for our kids. He sang songs, played the ukulele, and had nuts to share. He taught the kids how to use a old school nut cracker. Overall, our experience was not what we planned, but turned out to be everything we needed. We plan to stay friends with Bill and go visit again.

The land is beautiful. Orchards abound , wildflowers throughout. The "Holler"is truly a hollow, whole other world and FULL OF LIFE ! The Gramping shack was just right for my dog and myself. Cozy and positioned well on the property. Bill is a great host and cook as well. I was tickled pink at the wonderful wild edibles and farm goodies he provide. Just ask about all the goodies. Two thumbs up! I'd stay again for sure. Actually I didn't want to leave. It's my kind of heaven on earth!!

Holler-lujah!

Highly recommend staying here if you want privacy and the best camping experience. I chose this property to get away from the busy, crowded campgrounds and I was in for a treat! Upon arrival, Bill met us at the top of the hill and offered to drive our gear down to the campsite since we drove a car. We were able to get to the parking area safely in a Honda civic. Bill helped us get settled and showed us all the amenities of the site (which were more than we expected). The site itself was pretty open, very private and so relaxing. We had access to a small cabin where we could store our stuff out of the elements and even a mini fridge and hot plate! We partook in the wild foods walk with Bill and his business partner “Bulldog” and had a wonderful time trying all the native plants in the area. The property was very dog friendly and my dog was off leash most of the time. There are chickens on the property so I leashes her periodically for safety’s sake. The stars at night are second to none! We planned on using the campsite as a base to visit nearby national parks, but ended up staying at the campsite because we were enjoying it so much. 10/10 will stay here again!

Holler-lujah!

Nut'Inn is a wonderful place to take some time for yourself or to spend with family and friends. You can look forward to some of the most beautiful misty morning sunrises that exist or a beautiful starlit night, I swear there's something special about the way the clouds hang in the valleys of West Virginia and at night while enjoying the sound of crickets all around and the warmth and smell of a bonfire I could see the wisp of the Milky Way. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to explore the woods nearby and also going for a short 2-mile hike only a 30-minute drive away to one of the most beautiful lookout points I've been to, If you're a bird watcher this observatory is a great spot to stay for a couple of hours and watch migratory birds of prey as they pass by. I got a tour from Bill of his orchard and got to learn about his viewpoint on plants and farming It was a wonderful experience! If you have a passion or interest in fruits or nuts you can definitely learn something new from Bill. I got my first ever taste of Pawpaws, had some of the best olives I've ever had which he grew right there on his farm, and I also got some hickory oil which is something I've never even heard of before (it tastes great). I got to meet some great people and enjoy a lovely couple of days camping in a peaceful place I definitely recommend it!
