Thanks to and for telling a bit of our story. If you're a new friend of - check out the link in our bio to learn more about us.
The article also highlights the need to protect farmland in Loudoun County and Virginia now for future farmers. Loudoun County has some of the best farming soils in the Mid-Atlantic and we're losing them at a rapid pace to development. In a region where the land and weather patterns allow us to grow vegetables, fruit, grain and livestock reliably, it seems shortsighted to not protect this resource for our future food security.
You can help by supporting the local farms in your community consistently - so they can continue to train and support new farmers and help keep an active farming community alive. And, you can contact your Board of Supervisors representative and tell them it is imperative to protect prime farmland for the future - those decisions are being made now. (There are already 10,000 new houses slated for development in Western Loudoun.)

This is why we need to preserve farmland in Loudoun. As climate becomes more erratic and global distributionchains are disrupted by wars and pandemics, being able to grow food locally will become increasingly important. Contact the BOS and tell them it's time to protect prime farmland and invest in local farmers.
"U.S. wheat growers are experiencing extreme weather conditions threatening the quality of their crops this year. 75% of the winter wheat production in the U.S. is in a severe drought." -National Wheat Growers Association.
Why do we talk so much about preserving Loudoun's prime agricultural soils? Because beyond access to healthy local food, our food security relies on it. We need to make sure areas with the best soils, climate and rainfall are available for growing our food, because the areas where some crops are grown now, won't be suitable for them in years to come. Contact Loudoun's Board of Supervisors today and tell them you want prime ag soils protection and a funded Purchase of Development Rights Program! [email protected]
The things we do for tomatoes. 🍅❤🍅
Shout out to our from the wife. This guy has been holding down the farm, trying to build our pizza business AND working another farm job while I have been flying to Wisconsin monthly to deal with some family issues. This late winter and spring has been challenging for many reasons, but we're both happy to be growing food and sharing it with our community. That has been fueling us for the past 13 seasons.
We couldn't keep doing it without the love and support of our farming community, customers and friends. Hope to see you at market or a pizza night soon.
Love ya, Case! And, so does Chloe though she acts like I am her favorite human. 🐾❤😘
So grateful for the warmer temps, some great folks helping us on the farm and that we CAN farm.
We weren't sure where we were headed at the end of last season. But, our friends and neighbors - and former employers - offered us a couple of acres to lease and the use of some infrastructure.
And, the veggies are again on the way! Maeve from .bread loves these hakureis! Favas and peas are looking great. And, Chloe the farm dog learned how to ride the transplanter this spring. So, that's where we're at for now.
Feeling grateful.
Looking forward to Opening Day at Wheatland Spring Farm + Brewery ! Join us from 11 - 1. We're so happy to be a part of this amazing line-up of vendors with outstanding products. The best of the best!
