Purcellville Family Farm with over 100 years of history in Loudoun County
Cattle, Pork, Chicken, Produce and "Pick Your Own"
Operating as usual
Fort Bacon cows made an appearance in the 2022 Virginia Agriculture magazine (page 13) https://farmflavor.com/virginia/virginia-magazine/virginia-agriculture-2022/
"The Cockerills employ a rotational grazing system, which means they move the cattle every day to fresh pasture. The system can be labor-intensive, but since the grass is not overgrazed, the root system is preserved, and the grass grows back more quickly."
Remember these two bottle babies? Buttercup from 2020 and Ezra from 2021 are now mamas with babies of there own. Great job ladies!
We have openings for 1/2 pig orders for mid-February delivery. Email questions and inquiries to: [email protected]

Fun “desk job” today - counting steaks! We are always happy to set your order aside in the farm store.
A quick note of appreciation to all of our egg customers that bring back egg cartons! We love the idea of reusing and recycling our eclectic mix of cartons, and it helps keep prices down, thank you!
The pasture rotation season has begun! Happy Spring to the cows!
The early spring grass is high in protein, which requires some special dietary considerations: extra mineral and hay. While it may be more info than you wanted, the farmers monitor their “cow pies” for signs of unhealthy protein levels. Stop by the farm store and the herd might be in the right spot to wave hello.
Pick up your eggs and bacon, on your way down Snickersville Turnpike between the Philomont General Store and Bluemont. Happy Spring ❤️
Eggs are back - in droves! The farm stand is stocked.
Remember these little guys... they're now full grown laying hens! We are finally seeing an uptick in our egg production and are excited to tell y'all there are plenty of eggs in the farm store, thank you for your patience!
Fort Bacon has really grown our grass-fed sheep herd this year, and we now carry lamb in the farm store. Here they are enjoying their new shelter.
Fort Bacon Farm updated their website address.
Big news! Fort Bacon Farm has a new website! An exciting step for this 150 year old farm. We hope this will make it easier for you to view our products, learn about our philosophy, and contact us!

We recently started trying some dishes out with our new lamb, while they have all been good so far this one was a definite winner, it was so good our kids actually asked for seconds! Here is what we made:
- in a skillet, add a 3 tablespoons of butter, an onion, and 1 lb Fort Bacon Farm ground lamb
- after the lamb is cooked through, add two cups of Chicken broth, a peeled and diced sweet potato (or two if you really like your vitamin A), and spices (2tsp curry powder, 1tsp turmeric, pinch of salt and pepper) let simmer for 10-20 minutes.
-this is where you can choose your own adventure, we would add a mixture of milk and flour to make it more creamy, but if you want it to be more calorie friendly you can just stop here. You can then serve over cooked lentils, rice or noodles (we chose creamy over top of rice).
Let us know if you try it! Would also love to here about your recipes.

Continuing the tradition of making our own hay on Loudoun soil. Another agricultural art we hope to preserve on Fort Bacon.
Moving on to more pasture, across Snickersville Turnpike! Look out for the little red at the end!
It was so cold the chickens just wanted to peek out the door. Us too.
