Bill is the third child born to the Shelton family, and he is the brains behind the organization and upkeep of the nursery part of the business at Vintage Virginia Apples. While holding down a day job with the Commonwealth's housing and community development department, Bill somehow finds time each weekend to come out to the farm and organize the cider pressings, dig tree orders, lay out the grafting plan for the year, collect scion wood, and generally keep things running smoothly. Bill’s career has focused on helping communities across the state to capitalize on traditional assets including value added agriculture and views his farm activities as a perfect extension of his core values of family, heritage and community.
