About Us

The Story of Glencoe Farm

Our Farm

We're a family-owned (and operated) farm in Berkeley County, West Virginia, right off Interstate 81.

With Middle Creek running through our park-like grounds, our farm is the perfect place to spend some quality time with your family or friends!

Six weekends each fall, we open our farm to the community for various festival activities.

It is a labor of love to spend the year preparing for the season, and we're dedicated to bringing you and your family the best farm experience. We feel blessed to be able to share our home place with you!

Yes, we're really McDonalds

Or MacDonalds, originally.

In the early 1700s, a man named Andrew MacDonald immigrated from Glencoe, Scotland to Arden, Virginia (now West Virginia).

Seven generations later, we carry on the traditions of Clan MacDonald of Glencoe (Clann Iain Abrach). Take that, King William!

And yes, we're really old

In 2021, Glencoe Farm had the honor of receiving the Sestercentennial Farm Award. That means our farm has been in continuous operation for 250 years!

Throughout the years,

Our farm has been home to many different ventures over the decades.

From the late 1800s to the 1950s, we played a role in Berkeley County's thriving Apple Industry.
Our great-grandfather, Ernest Faulkner McDonald, was one of the original 18 guarantors of the C.H. Musselman Company Apple Plant in Inwood.

In the 1950s, our grandfather, Charles "Bub" Francis Wall McDonald founded McDonald Farm Machinery and operated it until 1985.

In 2006, our father, Charles "Charlie Bill" William McDonald, together with his wife Stephanie, planted corn and pumpkins on the farm for the first time, and established Old McDonald's Pumpkin Patch.
