Producer

The Yura Family started WV Harvest in 2019 to showcase their love of West Virginia and the food that is grown, processed, and naturally harvested in the state. With both Amanda and Chris Yura having deep West Virginian Roots, they wanted to create a product assortment that reflected their appreciation and commitment to their home state. Over the years, the Yura’s have connected with other West Virginians that are passionate about growing, processing, and distributing amazing food. With these strategic partners, WV Harvest has scaled its offering and distribution with big plans for the future of Appalachian Food Production.

Chris and Amanda’s children are named after a special West Virginian location/landmark (Cooper, Seneca, Shenandoah, and Weston) to instill the pride of being from Appalachia to their next generation.

WV Harvest takes a unique approach to job creation in Appalachian Agriculture by focusing on three core areas: Non-Timber Forest Product Sourcing, Locally Grown and Raised Agriculture Distribution, and Value-Added Food Production. This three-pronged focus consolidates what is currently available in the understory of our ancient forests while supporting local farmers and food processors in the region. We believe that this unique blend of products and production methods, teamed with quick-turnaround delivery, can be the competitive advantage for West Virginia and the larger Central Appalachian Region. All products are committed to socially, economic, and environmentally conscious business practices that best serve the local community.
