HEY THERE!
Mountain Mama Family Farm is a small family-run farm in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, rooted in a love of the land and good food. Everything we do centers on growing food, community, and accessibility in the Eastern Panhandle.
About Us
We are Daniel, Brittany, Cora, Eli, and Alice Henderson!
Daniel and Brittany both grew up in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, where their connection to the land began. Daniel’s family has deep roots in Mineral and Hampshire Counties, and he spent much of his childhood visiting his grandparents’ farm. Brittany’s family moved to Berkeley County when she was a baby, hoping for space to raise animals and grow a big garden.
​
Daniel and Brittany met in 2015 and quickly built a life together in Berkeley County. They were married in 2017 and soon welcomed their daughter, Cora, in 2018. Their family grew with the arrival of their son Eli in 2022 and their youngest daughter Alice in 2024.
The dream of starting Mountain Mama Family Farm grew from a desire to grow their own food and create a place where their children could roam, explore, and grow up connected to the land. Today, they are beginning that dream on eight acres in the Swan Pond area, starting small with hopes of growing and expanding in the years ahead.
​
If you’ve purchased something from Mountain Mama Family Farm, you may have noticed Braille on our labels. That detail is inspired by Cora. Shortly after she was born, she spent time in the NICU while doctors worked to understand concerning symptoms. Genetic testing eventually revealed that Cora has a rare condition called Knobloch Syndrome, which causes severe vision impairment. Today, she is legally blind.
​
Cora’s limited vision has never limited her curiosity or determination. She loves being involved in life on the farm, and the Braille labels are one way we celebrate her and help make our products a little more accessible. If you happen to meet Cora, make sure to compliment her on her Braille skills—she’s very proud of them.
