Farms in Virginia

Virginia's small farms carry one of the country's deepest agricultural heritages — the Monticello-era heirloom varieties maintained by farms connected to Thomas Jefferson's agricultural experiments, the Shenandoah Valley apple traditions that predate the American republic, and the seafood and watermen culture of the Chesapeake Bay that connects the state's identity to its waters as much as its land. The Virginia wine industry, built largely by small family vineyards, has achieved international recognition and draws visitors who discover, alongside the wine, a farm-to-table culture of genuine depth. Buying from Virginia farms means supporting that heritage in the most direct way possible.
