Special From the Ground Up
The secret ingredient in your next family recipe starts in the soil.
Thanks to its diverse geography, Loudoun farms exist in three distinct growing zones from the banks of the Potomac River to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Across those 520 square miles, two-thirds of which is in the rural policy area, 17 soil types are represented, and nearly 100 square miles of Loudoun’s land is considered prime agricultural soil, carved by glaciers receding after the last Ice Age.
From the earliest settlers in the 1700s, Loudoun farmers have diligently cared for the health of the soil and remained on the cutting edge of agricultural best practices. Nutrients and flavor, drawn from that premium soil, are obvious in every bite of food grown on Loudoun farms.
