Frederick County Poor Farm inspection underway
The Frederick County Board of Supervisors conducts the annual inspection and inventory of the Parish Farm four miles northwest of Winchester. The report records crops, livestock, sustenance supplies, and inmate living conditions, then filed with the county clerk and certified to the State Board of Charities and Corrections in Richmond. The city of Winchester may participate but has not availed itself, trusting the county’s thorough inspection. The inventory lists grain, hay, dairy, poultry, livestock, bees, and farm products used for inmate sustenance, highlighting near self sufficiency.
