Since 1927, Gritt’s Farm has been a working farm in Buffalo, West Virginia. Beginning as a homestead farm with the first generation being Veto and Nally Gritt, The Farm has seen many different faces over the years. Their focus has always been providing high quality, locally grown products to the community through all of the years and changes. Gritt’s Farm is around 400 acres and provides beauty and open space while also providing families in the Kanawha Valley with healthy food options.

Presently, the farm has the 3rd and 4th generations working together to continue the legacy that the past Gritt generations created to build a sustainable future for generations to come.
