The Rellim Farm near Kearneysville, West Virginia is a 50-acre farm and orchard complex which was once part of the nearby Traveller's Rest property. The upper Shenandoah Valley region supports a significant fruit industry, and Rellim Farm is a representative example of this form of agriculture, the oldest family-owned operation in Jefferson County. Beginning in the 1930's, Paul Miller Sr. began to work with the nearby West Virginia University Experimental Farm in the development of spray technology, which was applied throughout the industry. citation|title=PDFlink| [http://www.wvculture.org/shpo/nr/pdf/jefferson/98001467.pdf National Register of Historic Places Nomination: Rellim Farm] |1250 KB|date=June 28, 1998 |author=Charles Miller|publisher=National Park Service]
