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. false false 120238 0 89734 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 an agricutural education and research program in partnership with Virginia Tech and its Middleburg Agricultural Research and Extension Center. Clermont Farm serves as the teaching farm for the local Clarke County Public Schools (CCPS) Agriculture Program. The farm's expanding Swine Program is conducted in educational partnership with the CCPS and the Clarke Farm Bureau. In 2018 clearing of brush and invasive flora for the silvo-pasture research and demonstration project in partnership with Virginia Tech were carried out in preparation for spring 2019 planting, while a soil renewal project was enlarged over the eastern half of the farm, and over 12,000 ft. of old fencing removed and replaced. The adult bee-keeping training program, in partnership with the Beekeepers of Northern Shenandoah, added hives and participants, and high school students bred, delivered and raised several litters of piglets and hosted a community reception and poster-board education session, carried forward to state FFA. 61900 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 the buildings. In 2018 the large 1849 Corn Crib rehabilitation was completed, the building being subsequently used for educational presentations to children, adults and specialists. Archaeology, in partnership with the Northern Shenandoah Valley Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Virginia, was completed on the north and south porches of the 1775 house and begun on the smokehouse of 1803, in preparation for repairs to both. Clermont hosted the major site visit of the annual state conference of the Archaeological Society of Virginia. 30092 0 4085 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. A long-term archaeology program in partnership with James Madison University is surveying not only the estimated fourteen buildings no longer above ground, but also all 360 acres of the site (evidence of Native American materials to the Early Archaic, 18th century and 19th century buildings, Civil War sites). In 2018 the Foundation conducted school programs for all 4th graders in Clarke County, carried out site-specific Civl War-related programs for adults in partnership with the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation, toured the Slave Quarter for multiple organizations and showed an 1830's "tub" mill to practicing millers, etc. On Nov. 28, 2018 a catastrophic fire destroyed the 1917 104' bank barn and the 1849 newly-restored corn crib, taking with it the 1830's tub mill and stored 18th century architectural components. All programs are continuing and the Foundation is working to replace the losses. 212230 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 12 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 Tupper Dorsey 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 Jane Ailes 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 71704 0 0 71704 0 0 false false false 43642 475 44117 Farm Income 900099 89734 0 0 Education Activities 900099 4085 0 0 93819 82747 0 82747 1398480 0 1208735 29198 189745 -29198 160547 -29198 0 189745 381230 64621 0 272492 108723 37019 71704 0 8317 2832 5485 0 3237 0 3237 0 12900 0 12900 0 19977 0 19977 0 535 535 0 0 4129 4129 0 0 9596 9596 0 0 3195 3195 0 0 29451 29451 0 0 32050 30826 1224 0 5332 802 4530 0 Farm Services 29327 29327 0 0 Farm Equipment Expenses 13971 13971 0 0 Farm Supplies 25312 25312 0 0 Education Services 25235 25235 0 0 331287 212230 119057 0 30795 20316 67584 41838 95069 101519 979952 107972 728309 871980 3449493 2951066 4371250 3986719 10207 13248 26000 13500 4275 2675 40482 29423 X 4330768 3957296 4330768 3957296 4371250 3986719 49943 -423952 537 X X true X false true false X 0 140221 40496 49751 52748 44117 327333 94628 275758 224785 205756 231449 1032376 234849 316254 274536 258504 275566 1359709 1359709 170589 193806 86774 86827 81363 619359 4864 5899 1681 0 0 12444 1991512 0.68280 0.60640 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: other income 2014: 4864. 2015: 5899. 2016: 1681. 2017: 0. 2018: 0. false 0 0 654626 654626 45601 45601 279725 279725 979952 Security Deposits 2675 2675 Pt III, Line 4 To complete the museum cataloguing of all the historic objects and furnishings, and to archive and describe its large collection of historic photographs.
