Meet Daisy L. Allen, My Mom

The Inspiration Behind Daisy’s Sunshine Farm

Daisy’s Sunshine Farm is lovingly named in honor of my mother, Daisy L. Allen, who was born January 20, 1926, in Alderson, West Virginia, and passed away September 17, 2024, at the age of 98.

Daisy was strong, independent, resourceful, loving, and deeply devoted to her family and community. Her home was always filled with laughter, music, home-cooked meals, sweet treats, family gatherings, and an open door for neighbors and friends.

She believed in caring for others and living from the land. Daisy raised a garden, kept chickens and rabbits, cooked for everyone who entered her home, and was especially known for her chocolate fudge. She generously shared whatever she had and always made sure others were cared for.

Her love of family, food, gardening, community, and self-sufficiency continues to inspire the heart and purpose of Daisy’s Sunshine Farm.
