RAPPAHANNOCK AGRITOURISM
Rappahannock County is Washington DC’s kitchen - and playground!
Agritourism is where agriculture and tourism meet to provide an amazing educational experience. Tour a farm or ranch. Stay at a farm B&B. Pick your own fruits and veggies. Get a food CSA subscription. Buy milk, eggs, honey, bread, veggies, fruit, beef, lamb, pork, poultry, wine, beer, spirits, cider directly from the farm. Take a vineyard tour. Volunteer to help with a harvest. Do a cheese-making, goat milking or wine tasting class. Help shear alcapas, llamas and sheep. Ride a horse. Take a hay ride to a pumpkin patch. Cut your own Christmas tree. Get fresh farm products in farm stores located right on farms. Many farms host events to teach us what they do on the farm. Harvest has started - get fresh foods at harvest stands on the side of the road and Farm Markets.

The hottest new thing - dwarf orchards! Enjoy a day of picking your own tree-ripened fruit, then relax on the front porch with a peach slushy. Apples and peaches with extraordinary flavor and texture, grown on dwarf trees that can be picked easily, no ladder required. We combined our favorite varieties with size-controlling rootstocks.This is done by grafting selected varieties on a root system that will allow us to grow a tree that is smaller when mature, easier to pick, & known for producing larger tastier fruit.

15 A Over Jordan Farm Lane in Flint Hill
The Bean Hollow Farm Store is in an old log cabin. It was the only structure on the property when the family acquired the farm in 1980. Built sometime in the 1800s the building's logs had long been covered with siding and the inside was full of hay. To be honest, we didn't even know it was a log cabin. The plan was to tear it down. Some siding was pulled loose revealing a stunning log cabin. The building is now the Farm Store. Inside are four freezers, one for lamb, one for beef, one for pork, and one for bratwursts. Self Serve shopping: 1) If you don't have a bag grab one of the black recycled fabric bags we've made available. 2) Pick out the cuts you want and pack them in your bag. 3) Using the price list calculate the total cost and either write us a check or leave us some cash in the jar on the table. Go on your merry way! Easy.
