History of tobacco industry in Prince Edward County  From plant bed to the market and every step in between with Julian and Edwina at Sleepy Hollow Acres

     Howard Julian Covington and Edwina Miles Covington own and operate Sleepy Hollow Acres, a Virginia Century Farm, near Elam in Prince Edward County, Virginia.  The farm has been actively engaged in tobacco agriculture in the Covington/Carter family since the early 1800's until 2004, with the infamous federal tobacco buy out.  The front portion of the family home was built in 1808 and the rear was added in 1923 with modern improvements being made in 1993.
    Julian and Edwina raise both dark-fired and burley tobacco.  Along with the tobacco they maintain a herd of beef cattle with a registered black Angus bull.  Many birds, such as chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, and peacocks stroll around the yard.
