The
Farm is currently made up of 40 acres in the Virginia Free State Valley
situated on the back of Piney Mountain, 30 acres are in pasture and 10 wooded.
Many of the old barns and out buildings were built in the early 1800's. One
bank barn was constructed in the mid Seventies, as best we can tell. The Farm
is located in the historic FreeState area of Fauquier County, which has a very large
and colorful history, with significant Civil War connections. Our house
is built on the original foundation after the Civil War however, the house
was burned when the northern soldiers found out the owner was riding with Col.
Mosby. Although many of the tall tales in this area maybe just tall, but you
never know, many fables are fact related with years of embellishment placed upon
them...... So it looks better :)
Mt. Airy Farm is a small farm located in
the foothills of the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains. We raise
primarily Cormo and CVM Sheep, along
with Angora Goats (Mohair) both colored and white. Agora Rabbits.
These breeds are selected for
their production of beautiful fleeces; for hand spinning and other luxurious fleece
craft. Custom items such as: custom blends, handspun and hand knitted items, roving is available, raw fleece (it is best to reserve in advance) pelts are available and must be reserved in
advance, or visit us at our shows. (see
event calendar) All fleece are shorn by hand, limiting stress to the animals and second cuts. All whole animal sales are final. Yarn and wool Products are Guaranteed satisfaction.
We also offer seasonal meat lamb and kid. The Farm also hosts Spring, grass fed steers, closely monitored and pastured fed, available with consignment and/or reservations.
