6 Farm-To-Fork Loudoun
Greetings: I want to take this opportunity to invite you to ‘taste the difference’ in Loudoun County. Loudoun County’s best restaurants have paired with local farmers to bring the freshest fruits and vegetables directly from the farm to your table. Top chefs visit local farmers’ markets and farms several times each week to make sure you are served cuisine from fresh, locally grown products. Our farmers are raising beef, pork and lamb and bringing back heirloom fruits and vegetables. Farm-to-Fork Loudoun is one of many commitments that Loudoun County farms, wineries and restaurants have made to create a sustainable, consumer-focused culinary sector that contributes to a vibrant rural economy and a healthy society. Farm-to-Fork Loudoun not only provides you another opportunity to support local agriculture, but also provides rural businesses with a valuable marketing outlet and showcases the commitment of participating restaurants to serving gourmet food, while supporting local rural businesses. Savor the bounty of our Loudoun County farms, wineries and restaurants. Thomas M. Flynn Director, Loudoun County Department of Economic Development
Fellow Foodie: Welcome to Loudoun County and the inaugural Farm-to-Fork Loudoun, where the spirit of agriculture, the culinary arts, fine wines and community collaboration are celebrated. Farm-to-Fork Loudoun goes beyond the county’s existing culinary events by celebrating all aspects of Loudoun’s rich rural heritage – from produce, to eggs, meats and poultry, to our award-winning wines – and combining them into one event that extends over 11 days. It will treat your taste buds to all the lavish bounty our county has to offer in the most pristine and organic way. You will enjoy the best of what makes Loudoun uniquely special as you interact not only with the food itself, but with the dedicated farmers and producers who bring it to you in what we hope will be a variety of restaurants you’ll visit during this celebration! On behalf of the farms, chefs and winemakers of Loudoun County, as well as the team who brought this innovative project to you, we are pleased to have you share with us as we revel in our delicious abundance. Patrick J. Kaler President & CEO, Visit Loudoun
