My husband Ed and I live on a working farm at the foot of Keeney Mt in Grassy Meadows, WV. Road name changes and 911 address changes have us with an Alderson mailing address, making it really fun for the UPS and FedEx drivers. I even had trouble listing our cabin on Keeney Mt Rd; the map would not recognize the location. When my husband told me our road was forever called Ford Hollow Road, I plugged the name in and it came right up!
Ed is the full-time farmer. I work as a USDA Consumer Safety Inspector with a local patrol assignment. Every spare minute I have though is used to be outside helping with the animals and farm chores. Ed along with a cousin or two, would spend summers here as kids helping his grandpa in the hay. In 1979, at 20 yrs old he moved here to be with his grandpa. I am from this area, raised on a dairy farm, and graduated from the local high school. I received my B.S. in Ag. Business from WVU in 1987. I have three grown boys of my own, all out working and making me proud! Eddie has a daughter just out of college and headed out on her own. We both love this way of life; although sometimes heartbreaking and back breaking, we wouldn't change a thing.
