What is Twin Mountain Farm?
Find Your Home Away From Home
Twin Mountain Farm is a 3,000 acre working cattle farm with a rich heritage dating back to the late 1800's. Located between Romney and Moorefield, West Virginia, and extending 6 miles from end to end on top of Twin Mountain, it holds the cornerstone of where four counties meet.
After generations of successful operations of Twin Mountain Orchards by the Miller Family, the farm was sold in 1986 at auction to Scott and Pat Humphrey to help grow their cattle operation back in Midland, VA. A few months later, the Humphrey family purchased the adjoining Chert Mountain Orchard which was successfully managed by the Leatherman family for several generations.
Independently, both the Twin Mountain Orchards and Chert Mountain Orchards were considered some of the largest family owned orchard operations in the country. However, due to changing economics and other factors, the Humphrey family decided to remove the sick, aging apple trees over time. Instead of replanting, Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey dreamed that their cattle would graze on the expansive orchard grass pastures. The Humphrey's also envisioned restoring the many houses left on top of the mountain that once served many orchard workers and their families.
