Brookside Farm
Aurora West VAâ¦. Ed Utterback
Brookside Farm is a 270 acre farm, that was once part of a resort and is now privately owned by 81year old Ed Utterback, his wife Mary and their son (Mark) who currently runs the farm that raises chickens, hogs, sheep and cattle. They also have a Maple sap collection operation. The property is on the historic register.
The Utterbacks have developed a partnership with Keven Blankenship, founder of Jacob's Ladder, an addiction treatment center located at the former Brookside resort. Part of the treatment for the residents is working on the farm.
