Josh Sprouse and his wife live in Mt. Crawford, VA. They are both graduates of Virginia Tech in the Ag Science program and are trained EMTs. Josh began his career as a paid fireman and started his landscaping business, Sprouse Lawn Care, 10 years ago. The company does some residential work but focuses on commercial. Five years ago, Josh and his wife refurbished two poultry houses on their farm and began growing chickens for Shenandoah Valley Organic/Farmer Focus. In those five years, they became SVO’s #1 producer as they mastered the science of producing large, healthy birds. In April 2025, Josh accepted an executive position with SVO that focuses directly on the farmers to improve their operations. His wife is very active in helping with the landscaping and poultry farm operation.
Mike Rhodes grew up and lives near his alma mater, Eastern Mennonite University. He began his career as a commercial and personal lines insurance agent at Insurance Center of Harrisonburg, INC. in 2001.

Mike oversees the daily operations of ICOH, including managing 10 staff members and producing new business in commercial, personal, life, and health insurance.
