Oak Flat, West Virginia, USA

The land is flat, water is plentiful, and soils are alluvial close to the South Fork river as it winds its way northward to the Potomac. So, here in a small pocket of the Appalachian Mountains, farming flourished. Today, however, the business of agriculture has changed, better land is available elsewhere, and family farms are disappearing from the landscape. [2014]
