Summary
In 1827 John Miller Jr, “Poplar John”, purchased Mount Vernon Farm and built this home on a knoll overlooking his fields and the Shenandoah mountains. From the front porch he could watch over his herd and relax to the sounds of nature. Five generations later we invite you to join us on the farm and step back in time to a place where you can put the stress of modern life behind you and unwind in a beautiful setting. The Millers.

Mount Vernon Farm Grass-Fed  utilizes humane, sustainable, and holistic methods to produce 100% Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Beef and Lamb as well as Pastured Pork and Soy Free Eggs. Totaling 840 acres, Mount Vernon Farm is nestled along the Blue Ridge Mountains in Rappahannock County, Virginia and has been farmed by the Miller family since 1827.

Summary
WeatherLea Farm occupies 28 acres of rolling hills in Lovettsville, VA. We are at the northern tip of Virginia — less than a mile from the Potomac River bridge to Brunswick, Maryland, and only six miles from the confluence of the Potomac and the Shenandoah rivers at Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia.

Since purchasing Weather Lea in 1992, Malcolm and Pamela Baldwin have planted perennial and kitchen gardens, apple and peach orchards and a small wine grape vineyard.  We work hard on our farm tending our vineyard and our flock of sheep and llamas, and hosting weddings and events as well as overnight guests. We are deeply involved in local efforts to preserve farmland and the historic and natural heritage of Loudoun County.

We are welcoming visitors for overnight stays at The Milk Cottage at WeatherLea Farm. Guests enjoy visiting our wine grape vineyard (sometimes helping with the harvest if their visit coincides) and seeing our flock of llamas and sheep, including spring lambs. Apples, peaches and raspberries can also be picked in season. Viognier and Cabernet Franc wines made from WeatherLea grapes are available locally, and wool products from our sheep are available for purchase on the farm. The Milk Cottage at WeatherLea Farm is an ideal spot for a unique farmstay experience!
