Our Farm Story
Fully restored and thoughtfully improved upon every year, Old Spring Farm Bed & Breakfast offers country living at its best in Blue Ridge Wine Country fifty miles south of Roanoke, Virginia.
Alexander Rakes built the two story farmhouse in 1883. Old Spring Farm relocated to Charity, Virginia in 1983 in continuance of breeding a spotted horse known as an Appaloosa. The joint venture of Bed & Breakfast and working farm began in 1997.
