Roadtrip Part III - Now for the Sizzle!





A great coincidence for this local food blogger, during last weekend's visit to Virginia, was finding that a local farm tour was underway. http://www.pwcfarmtour.com/ Thanks to my indulgent family members, (!) we were able to visit 3 farms. We followed that up with wine tasting at a local winery on the way home.

This farm was serving lunch and taking visitors out on hay rides to see their Angus cattle herd. People were lining up to purchase beef and by Sunday, several of the cuts were sold out. We were able to pick up Porterhouse & Delmonico steaks ........ they were delicious on the grill that evening. Thanks to Smith Family Farm for hosting such a diverse crowd from the community on a rainy day! Nothing like scheduling a farm tour to bring on the rain ......... We also got a look at their pastured poultry operation and all of the equipment needed to run such a large family farm operation.
