More Info about Surry

Eastover Retreat Center: Everyone involved with the Center has worked here at some point (in fact, some of us still are working there) This is a wonderful place that we all love.

College Run Farms: A wonderful "pick your own" farm located just down the road from us. They have different seasonal choices: strawberries, blueberries, sweet corn, melons, squash, zuchinni and more. Buying here supports local business, and you know what you are getting and where it came from. Everyone wins. So check it out if you are in town.
