A Legacy of Agriculture in Virginia

Virginia’s agricultural heritage dates back to the 17th century, when early settlers cultivated tobacco, wheat, and corn. Loudoun County, established in 1757, became a hub for grain production, with mills dotting the landscape. Middleburg, founded in 1787, evolved into the heart of Virginia’s Hunt Country, renowned for its equestrian culture and fox-hunting traditions. The Plains, a quaint Fauquier County town, has long been a haven for horse farms, while Leesburg’s fertile soils supported diverse crops and livestock. Orange and Louisa Counties, part of the Piedmont region, have historically produced everything from orchard fruits to dairy, and Charlottesville’s Albemarle County is celebrated for its vineyards and sustainable farming.

This rich history shapes today’s farm and ranch market, where properties often feature historic manor homes, conserved lands, and modern agricultural infrastructure. Many estates, like Huntland (ca. 1834) in Middleburg, are preserved under conservation easements, ensuring their legacy for future generations.
