Project Description

Studley Farms

Paul Boulden Jr holds a B.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Virginia Military Institute. Since graduating in 2006, Paul has worked around the world in the Nuclear Industry specializing in regulatory compliance. In 2009, Paul and his wife Kim moved back to Virginia, and began homesteading…first with a big garden, then adding a menagerie of livestock including chickens, ducks, goats and purebred Ossabaw Island Hogs. In 2016 Paul & Kim, along with Paul’s parents, launched Studley Farms. Studley Farms is a multi-species operation located in Hanover, Virginia, with a USDA Grant of Inspection for the VSU Mobile Production Unit for Small Ruminants (On-Farm). Being no stranger to regulatory requirements, Studley Farms also has several licenses from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) including a Poultry Exemption, Pet Food License, and Retail Food License.  

Paul recently graduated from the Virginia Agricultural Leaders Obtaining Results (VALOR) program, a two year cohort based program focusing on leadership development and highlighting all aspects of Virginia’s Diverse Agricultural Industry. When Paul’s not farming, he enjoys spending time traveling, visiting museums, and spending time with his family.
