RICHMOND, VA - Nine Virginia farms have received special recognition as grand winners of the 2023 Clean Water Farm Awards for demonstrating exceptional commitment to practices that protect the soil and water. The awards recognize farmers or farm owners doing exceptional work to protect soil and water resources. One winner is selected from each of Virginia’s major river basins.
“We celebrate and appreciate these award recipients, who are truly dedicated to sustainable farming and serve as role models for others across the commonwealth,” said Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources Travis Voyles. "Their commitment to improve the health of Virginia's river basins by implementing best management practices is inspiring, and future generations will benefit from their stewardship of the land and natural resources."
In partnership with Virginia’s 47 soil and water conservation districts, the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation sponsors the Grand Basin Clean Water Farm Awards each year. Individual soil and water conservation districts select local Clean Water Farm Award winners in the state. Awards were presented Dec. 4 during the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts annual meeting in Norfolk.
The winning farm owners, producers or operators employ technologies and best management practices that improve water quality. Efforts include keeping livestock out of streams and rivers, planting cover crops, instituting rotational grazing and adding vegetative buffers along waterways.
“These Grand Basin award winners, representing all regions of the Commonwealth of Virginia, are on the forefront of agricultural practices that protect one of our most precious resources: water quality,” said DCR Director Matt Wells.
Virginia’s soil and water conservation districts offer farmers technical assistance and advice on new technologies and practices to help them stay on the cutting edge of conservation farming.
