The 2025 Virginia Clean Water Farm Award for the Headwaters District was awarded to The Patterson Family of Endless View Farms.

The Patterson Family farms along the South River in Crimora and has protected over 1.5 miles of the river through implementing agricultural best management practices. They completed projects with the District to implement livestock stream exclusion fencing, alternative watering systems, and rotational grazing. Not only do these practices conserve natural resources, but they can also enhance farm profitability and efficiency.
