Full Life Journey Farm

5 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Reva, VA

The hustle and bustle of the city life is great, but there's nothing like stepping out the car into the crisp country air. The peace and quiet provided at FLJF allows us to unplug from electronics and truly connect as a family (no high-speed internet). Additionally, it provides us an opportunity to teach our children life skills so that they can understand how to create rather than just consume things. There are many projects underway and many more ahead as we live out our family motto, "Life is not a destination, but a journey...Enjoy the journey!" We welcome you to take part in this journey called life with us and watch how we develop our modest farm into a premier destination in the heart of Madison County.Learn more about this land:Years ago we discussed having some land simply because for years I'd heard that having land was a great way to always have a place to call home. As time went on we realized that owning more than a small plot of land just a little larger than the home was a far reaching goal. After visiting several houses including this one, we decided the search would stop since this place was an absolute wreck. Fast forward a few weeks and we decided to take a day trip as we often did on the weekends that lead us to Madison County VA, Reva to be exact. For years we'd passed this area and never saw the name Reva pop up anywhere, in fact the only thing that we would ever notice was The Ole Country Store and Bakery and signs for wineries as if there was nothing else to do in the area. Wanting to connect our kids with the earth and know that fresh food starts in the ground we decided to create Full Life Journey Farm, a RV Park, because we love camping and a farm, because we like to eat good food. Starting the camping with RV Dry camping is a way to get our FLJF brand known and connect with friends and family in a great location with great people. Thank you for taking time to stop by our site and we hope you come visit us and spread the word, Virginia has a Black Owned RV Park and Farm that is open to everyone with a good heart, desire to enjoy life and connect with others who share the same vision of strengthening your Faith , Family, Finances with Fitness, Food and Fun. God Bless You!
