Piñero Family Farms

About Our Founders

Rosa Vasquez and Nick Piñero are Navy veterans, originally from Philadelphia and New York City, with a blended family of five boys, three in college and two still at home. After their military service they wanted a quieter and slower way of life for themselves and their children, so they began to explore rural living. When they found 30 acres with a creek in McKenney, Virginia, they knew they had come home.

Piñero Family Farms came to life in 2018 as the couple decided to raise as much of their own food as possible. Rosa and Nick now provide meals for their family and other products to local customers.

About The Farm

Piñero Family Farms is a small, local, veteran- and minority-owned agricultural operation in McKenney, Virginia, about 30 miles southwest of Petersburg. On its 30 acres, cattle, pigs, geese, ducks, turkeys, chickens, goats, and horses are lovingly cared for, and pet peacocks, bunnies, a donkey and dogs (Great Pyrenees, to be exact) roam the grounds. Fields burst with all types of vegetables and herbs that are grown without pesticides, and the animals are raised without antibiotics or hormones.

Owners Rosa Vasquez and Nick Piñero take pride in raising wholesome, all-natural foods, and the farm is open to visitors for direct sales. “With us, you know where your food comes from,” Rosa says. “We don’t take shortcuts because this farm is part of our family.”
