Our Story
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Excerpted from Matthew 6:25-34 NRSVC
Fin Irene was founded in 2021 after the Clagett family, through much prayer and trust in God’s Providence, was led to purchase the only certified orgranic orchard in Virginia, which operated as Sweet Rose Farm. A long dream they thought was far away, the opportunity allowed the family to settle in the beautiful mountains of Highland County and provides a healthy, meaningful living that keeps them all working together in their home. Primarily a wholesale business, the Clagetts hope to bring Fin Irene’s produce directly to customers, reducing reliance on big grocery store infrastructure and providing the healthiest food possible for nourishment of the body and spirit.
