Elisha Barnes and Pop Son Farm Featured in New Documentary

One of the greatest gifts we can pass down as a family is our history. Every now and then, we have the opportunity to preserve a piece of that history in a way that future generations can see, hear, and experience.

We’re excited to share a special 24-minute documentary featuring our own Elisha Barnes and Pop Son Farm in Courtland, Virginia.

Many of us know Elisha as a man of deep faith, hard work, and a gentle spirit. In this documentary, you’ll get to see another side of his story as he shares the family’s farming legacy, the tradition of shock-curing peanuts, and the importance of preserving Black farming history for generations to come.

This isn’t simply a documentary about farming. It’s about our family’s roots, the values we’ve inherited, and the legacy that continues to grow through the work of those who came before us.

We hope every member of the Barnes Blow family will take a few minutes to watch, reflect, and share it with the next generation. Stories like these deserve to be remembered.🎥

After you’ve watched it, we’d love to hear your thoughts and memories. If you have stories about Pop Son Farm, Elisha, or our family’s agricultural heritage, share them with us. Every memory helps preserve the story of the Barnes family for those who come after us.
