buy local
Loudoun is home to hundreds of farms , many of which
market their products directly . This can be via local stores , on farm stands , producer farmers markets , CSAs ( Community Supported Agriculture ), or pick-your-own operations . Buying local keeps local dollars in our community and also takes advantage of some of the highest quality produce , meat , dairy , beverage and fiber products in the Commonwealth and the country . While some produce operations will only sell “ in season ,” many others raising meat , dairy , fiber , or hydroponic veggies can be purchased locally year round . Remember to look for markets and retail shops that sell local Loudoun products as they provide a income and a valuable outlet for our local producers . Check out the following list to see some of the many places you can stock up on Loudoun grown and raised products !
