work overseas in tropical agriculture. At Rutgers, Burns worked in the University greenhouses to pay his tuition.
After Rutgers came agricultural projects overseas for Burns. He worked for UNICEF as a maternal/child health nutrition expert. And then one day, Bums woke up, he was 40, and he wanted to “set some roots down” somewhere.
But where to go? Bums recalls a friend advising him to “come out 66 west, take a left and buy a place.” In 1988, Bums came to Rappahannock and bought the 19 acres and home, now known as Goat Hill Farm. The farm is located just off 211, down Tiger Valley Road about a half mile.
Bums explains the beginnings of the farm. “I got into this business because I like food, fresh food, pesticide-free food.” He began the business by wholesaling to D.C.
He traveled three times a week to sell all sorts of specialty vegetables including: heirloom tomatoes, Asian vegetables, purple broccoli raab, four kinds of raspberries, currants, gooseberries and jostaberries (a cross between gooseberries and currants).
