In 2005, Scott Plein and his family purchased the historic White House Farm property in Page County, Virginia. After considering several land uses , Mr. Plein decided to enroll the property into a permanent conservation easement in order to protect its working agricultural operations and the unique natural beauty encompassed on the 270 acres.
After further thought on the best potential for the land, he hired Chris Anderson from Luray, Virginia as the executive director of his new environmental education and research center and named it the White House Farm Foundation.
The Foundation is privately funded by Mr. Plein and is a nonprofit educational foundation with a focus on sustainable agriculture, conservation, local history and culture. The farm lies next to the South Fork of the Shenandoah River in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, an area renowned for its agriculture, beauty and natural resources.
