Members of the Sausser Farms coop in Ruckersville found the building abandoned when they came to pick up their shares on June 16th.
Sausser Farms vacated the building without paying rent and without giving the landlord any idea it was leaving.
When the Greene County Record asked Sausser why he had vacated the Ruckersville without paying his debt, he said, “I never got a bill.” Asked about breaking his lease, he said, “I never signed a lease.”
The landlord said that both Sausser and his wife both signed and initialed the 13-page lease.

I do NOT feel this was a fraud. I do think that this family was really trying, but the weather threw a monkey wrench into their plans. My parents had a produce farm years ago and knowing when produce would be ready was a real crap shoot – they did irrigate, so that helped. But farmers are definitely at the mercy of the weather. NO rain means NO crops!!! I feel for this family. Hopefully next year will be better for them AND for their customers, including me!! I too was looking forward to having the fresh veggies!! I think we all need to practice some patience and understand that THINGS HAPPEN!!!
