The Foundation's educational, research and demonstration programs are developed in partnership with Clermont Farm's owner, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, and with local and regional partner organizations, including Virginia Tech, the Clarke County, VA Public Schools, and the Josephine School Community Museum and African American Cultural Center. false false 130382 0 62484 AGRICULTURE: The Foundation uses the 360-acre Clermont Farm site and other land as a commercial beef cattle and sheep operation, which is the basis for: A) preserving intact and sustainably an historic agricultural landscape, and B.) providing an agricultural education and research program in partnership with Virginia Tech and its Middleburg Agricultural Research and Extension Center. Clermont Farm also serves as the teaching farm for the local Clarke County Public Schools (CCPS) Agriculture Program, with support from the Clarke County Farm Bureau. In 2019, the Foundation developed plans for replacement of the 1917 bank barn and 1849 corn crib destroyed in an electrical fire in November 2018, buildings which had constituted not only its animal care, hay and equipment storage space, but also its education, exhibit and archaeoldogical storage space. Plans were implemented to continue the production agriculture and educational programs temporarily without these buildings. Replacement equipment was purchased. The Foundation continued its five-year farm rejuvenation project, installing most of the remaining 40 best pasture manangement practices through NRCS EQIP cost-share projects including completion of internal re-fencing, removal of invasives and brush, planting of pollinator gardens, planting of one-half of the largest silvo-pasture research and demonstration program in Virginia, and cross-farm animal watering systems with 1.3 miles of water lines and well. The novice beekeeper training program was enlarged, and planning completed for the expansion of the experiential component of the Clarke County Public Schools' ag program from the high school down into the middle grades. 30171 0 0 HISTORIC PRESERVATION: The Foundation demonstrates best historic preservation practices and conducts education programs about them for special interest groups, university students, and the general public, using the dozen historic buildings (18th and 19th centuries) above ground. Rehabilitation of and repairs to historic buildings are used not only as active opportunities for demonstrations of best practices and appropriate technologies, but also to conduct further research on and documentation of the buildings. In 2019 the Foundation completed partial dismantling of the large south porch across the 1775 house and 1788 dining building in preparation for major repairs, including completing analysis and documentation of the structure. Archaeology in and around the 1803 Smokehouse, in preparation for repairs, was completed, including the discovery of the unusually large original stone-lined fire pit, four feet in diameter. A plan was prepared for and approved by Clermont's Archaeological Advisory Committee for the archeological survey and permanent documentation of the site of the 1917 bank barn and 1849 corn crib, destroyed in the November 2018 fire. The project to complete a Phase 1 archaeological survey of Clermont's fields (330 acres) to initially identify and protect underground historic resources moved forward with its second field (#2), in which the remains of a previously unknown, possibly mid-to-late 18th century dwelling were identified and are now protected from agricultural use. The trenching for 1.3 miles of waterlines for animal waterers were archaeologically monitored and documented. 40950 0 3128 HISTORY: The Foundation conducts research and education programs related to the history of the farm, its regional and economic ties, and the people who have lived and worked there. The Foundation maintains archives of family papers related to the farm and collections of historic furnishings and objects. The long-term Phase 1 archaeology survey program mentioned above also supports these research and educational projects. In 2019 the Foundation presented the results of the Smokehouse archaeology project at several professional conferences. It conducted school programs for all Clarke County students studying Virginia history on the subjects of slavery, historical research based on archaeology, and the preservation of historic structures. Numerous members of the Archeological Society of Virginia (ASV) and other members of the public volunteered for work on the various projects under professional supervision, and several volunteers were mentored for the Archaeological Technician certification program of the ASV. An intial GIS map of the site was developed, which will become a basis for public education. 201503 true true false false false false false true false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 15 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false X Robert W Stieg Jr 5409550102 151 Clermont Lane Berryvilla VA 22611 Joseph Whitehorne President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 John P Lewis Vice President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jane Ailes Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Clay Brumback Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Timothy Mayfield Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Doug Lawrence Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Sullivan Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tupper Dorsey Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Norma Johnson Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chuck Bishop Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Hobert Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shannon Moeck Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert W Stieg Jr CEO 40.00 X 73138 0 0 73138 0 0 false false false 110745 5856 116601 Farm Income 900099 62484 0 0 Education Activities 900099 3128 0 0 65612 83154 0 83154 857368 0 664527 25635 192841 -25635 167206 -25635 0 192841 Insurance Proceeds 112111 77668 77668 0 0 77668 510241 117645 0 275995 111010 37872 73138 0 8788 2887 5901 0 4450 0 4450 0 1379 0 1379 0 11800 0 11800 0 18016 0 18016 0 2267 0 2267 0 7589 0 7589 0 5264 0 5264 0 45711 45711 0 0 2608 2608 0 0 43651 41756 1895 0 10218 1240 8978 0 Farm Services 29339 29339 0 0 Farm Equipment Expenses 8147 8147 0 0 Farm Supplies/Maintenance 21162 21162 0 0 Education Services 10781 10781 0 0 342180 201503 140677 0 20316 29637 41838 60607 101519 107500 1359819 151250 871980 1208569 2951066 2925980 3986719 4332293 13248 11507 13500 16160 2675 4375 29423 32042 X 3957296 4300251 3957296 4300251 3986719 4332293 168061 174894 X X true X false true false X 0 40496 49751 52748 44117 116601 303713 0 275758 224785 205756 231449 237182 1174930 316254 274536 258504 275566 353783 1478643 0 1478643 193806 86774 86827 81363 83154 531924 0 5899 1681 0 0 7580 2018147 0.73270 0.68280 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: other income 2015: 5899. 2016: 1681. 2017: 0. 2018: 0.
