Church View Farm brochure honored

This is great for Steve and Ruth Martin, but you should send them an email and arrange for a visit.  Interestingly, the brochure that one was submitted four years ago and is already updated!

by the Hampshire Review Staff:

MORGANTOWN — A Hampshire County farm has been honored for its efforts to promote
agri-tourism.  Church View Farms of Three Churches brochure for the Romney farmer’s market was
named the best of any such effort in West Virginia last year.

The farm, owned by Steve and Ruth Martin, took first place in the category, “Best brochure or
rack card for a farmers’ market, roadside stand or CSA” at the state Dept. of Agriculture’s 2013
Small Farm Conference last month.

“Marketing is a key component of a successful agri-tourism operation,” said Commissioner of
Agriculture Walt Helmick. “Each year, these awards recognize the best in marketing and promotions, and encourage others to improve their communications programs.”
