Whether you’re new to the local farm food scene or a seasoned buyer, this weekend is a great chance to take advantage of the bountiful gifts of Loudoun County farms. I am looking forward to discovering a new to me farm I have been meaning to try, Chicama Run. Some of their products include pastured pork and chicken as well as grass-fed beef and lamb. Not only do the products from properly raised animals taste better, they are better for you and our environment. There is also a new farm I am excited to check out in Lovettsville, Weatherlea Farm. They will have wool products with demonstrations of spinning and weaving, a sheep shearing demo, hay rides for kids, a live sheep breeds display, walking tours of their vineyard, sales of their famous lamb sausage sandwiches and more! On Saturday night they’re hosting an old-fashioned barn dance with live music and a dance caller, to benefit Loudoun 4-H sheep clubs. Check it out here.
The Loudoun Spring farm tour is a great way to learn more about what great products are offered right in your county. Have you been meaning to change your family’s diet to include more wholesome, healthy, organic fare? The farm tour is a great place to start your research!  From wine tours to barnyard noises, this weekend event is sure to have something for everyone.
