Did you know?
- In 1914, Northampton County had the highest per‑capita income in Virginia, thanks to a booming agricultural economy.
- The Eastern Shore once supported three canneries, frozen‑food facilities, and multiple packing houses, making it a powerhouse of vegetable processing and shipping.
- The Eastern Shore Produce Exchange helped set national standards for grading and packaging—and returned over one quarter of a billion dollars to local growers.
- In the early 20th century, the Eastern Shore was the largest potato‑producing region in the entire United States.
Come enjoy a warm cup of coffee while we explore the stories, innovations, and people who shaped our region’s agricultural identity.
Historical artifacts and vintage produce labels will be on display. Special thanks to @Peninsula Tractor Organization for bringing their display!
