About Us
WELCOME TO THE
Olde Dominion Agricultural Complex
• An Agricultural Hub •
Nestled in the heart of Southern Virginia, ODAC stands as a multi-purpose facility dedicated to advancing and celebrating agriculture while providing a welcoming space for events of all kinds. Since our founding, ODAC has proudly served as a hub for agricultural education, industry connections, and community involvement.
Our complex hosts various agricultural offices under one roof, including Farm Bureau, Farm Credit, USDA, the Virginia Department of Agriculture, Virginia Cooperative Extension, and more. These partnerships make ODAC a cornerstone of agricultural support, ensuring essential resources are readily available to those who work tirelessly in the agricultural industry. Whether you're a farmer, rancher, or simply passionate about agriculture, ODAC provides a space to connect with professionals and gain valuable insights and support.
Beyond our dedication to agriculture, ODAC’s facility is available to host a wide range of events, including equestrian shows, rodeos, livestock exhibitions, and more. We take pride in supporting our community’s agricultural heritage while also opening our doors to broader events, like weddings, concerts, and community festivals. With our diverse event spaces and team-oriented approach, we’re here to help make your event a success, whether it’s a celebration, competition, or gathering of friends.
Our seasonal farmers market is another testament to our commitment to local agriculture and community outreach. This weekly event is where local farmers, artisans, and neighbors come together to share the fruits of their labor, from fresh produce to handcrafted goods. The farmers market is a vibrant space where everyone in the community is welcome to gather, support local businesses, and celebrate the best of what our region has to offer.
ODAC is also deeply invested in fostering the next generation of agricultural enthusiasts through youth events and educational programs. From livestock shows and youth rodeos to interactive workshops, we provide opportunities for young people to connect with agriculture and learn valuable skills that will benefit them in the future.
Thank you for joining us at ODAC, and we hope you enjoy your time here. Whether you’re a participant, a spectator, or a guest, you’re a part of our extended ODAC family, and we’re glad to share this experience with you.
