Farm Credit features Bob’s Market and Greenhouses
MASON, W.Va. — In late April, Farm Credit of the Virginias released the latest installment of its Ag & Culture video series featuring Mason, West Virginia-based Bob’s Market and Greenhouses.
Dustin Bowman, agribusiness regional sales and lending manager with Farm Credit of the Virginias, says the Ag & Culture video series was first launched in late 2018.
“In the two years the series has been around, the videos have continued to evolve in style and content to better achieve the original mission of increasing the general consumer’s understanding of the agricultural practices that support our food, fuel and fiber system,” Bowman said. “Although still in its early stages, not only has the Ag & Culture video series achieved its intended mission of providing a source of agricultural education, it has also played a role in supporting local producers and agribusinesses in our community, an added perk.”
Bob’s Market and Greenhouses was founded in 1970 by Robert “Bob” Barnitz and his wife, Corena. The business started as a roadside market selling fresh produce. Now in its 50th year of operation, Bob’s Market is a major specialized young plant producer, in addition to shipping finished product across the country.
