West Virginia Century Farm Program Accepting Applications for 2026.
Applications are now open for the 2026 West Virginia Century Farm Program, which recognizes families who have farmed the same land for generations. The program honors West Virginia farms that have remained in the same family for 100 years or more, celebrating the long-standing role of agriculture in communities across the state.
Farms are recognized in four categories based on years of continuous family ownership and operation:
? Century Farms (100 years)
? Sesquicentennial Farms (150 years)
? Bicentennial Farms (200 years)
? Sestercentennial Farms (250 years)
To be eligible, a farm must have been in continuous operation by the same family, include at least 10 acres of the original land, and generate more than $1,000 annually from farm products. A family member must have lived on the farm or played an integral role in the day-to-day operation of the farm enterprise. Ownership may pass through wives, husbands, children, brothers, sisters, nephews, or nieces.
Applications for the 2026 program are available in PDF format at https://www.wvca.us/education/pdf/centuryFarmAppl_U1225.pdf. Completed applications must be submitted to the applicant’s local conservation district office by February 1, 2026. A list of local conservation districts can be found at the WVCA District Map (https://www.wvca.us/map.cfmhttps://www.wvca.us/map.cfm)
