Local sources
WVU has a useful tool for finding local foods and products nearby: http://www.wvfarm2u.org/buy-local/list.aspx?show=roadsidestand
Goat cheese, goat milk soaps and lotions, can be obtained from Goat Rope Farm in Milton.
Fresh eggs and herbs are available from Appalachian Forest Herbs.
There's a CSA in Hurricane but none closer. However, Huntington does have the Market Fresh project -- essentially, a Farmer's Market with extended hours. Ebenezer Medical Outreach is offering fresh, locally grown goodness on Thursdays, 11-7, at Huntington's Kitchen (across from Pullman Square, next to the Culinary Institute;) and on Fridays at EMO from 9-5.
White Oak Ridge Farm in Philipi (whiteoakridgefarm@yahoo.com, 304-614-8140) apparently raises animals for meat.
There's also a Pick-Your-Own site that lists spots in WV: http://www.pickyourown.org/WV.htm
In Putnam County, there are three entries that little girls might enjoy visiting.
I found http://www.allaboutapples.com/orchard/wv.htm among my internet meanderings, revealing yet more places to take young children.
WVU's extension service has its own site: http://ext.wvu.edu/
More exciting to me: info on both Beekman1802 (a lovely WV farm) and on Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co., a seed company, farm, working pioneer village and more located not far from my Mommy. I see a road trip coming up...
