State-of-the-art renovation by Greenspur Builders & Cortney Bishop Design.

Beth and Randy wanted to keep the historic structure of the farm, while making renovations to suit modern day life. 

For that, they turned to Mark Turner, a residential designer and builder based in Falls Church, Virginia; and Cortney Bishop, an interior designer in Charleston, South Carolina. Together, they designed a renovation that is both true to the farm’s architectural heritage and to the Russells. Farming is in the family’s blood: Beth migrated to D.C. from rural southern Indiana, and Randy, a farm lobbyist and former chief of staff for Ronald Reagan’s agriculture secretary, hails from sod-busting Midwestern homesteaders.
