Also they have been at the farmers market at Wheatland Springs Farm & Brewery. So we wanted to check them out when we saw they would be part of the Loudoun County Farm Tour. They have a beautiful property that we had a chance to walk around. We saw mostly saw chickens and pigs. The cattle heard was more towards the back of the property that we did not walk to. Long Stone has eggs, broiler chickens, hogs, and a cattle herd. They are utilizing ecologically sensitive rotational grazing that produces some very tasty pork and beef. They have a farm store stand selling these and other products. We bought some sausage, a steak, and some Harvue Cheese.

Do your research but it's the form of the casein protein and is easier to digest (with the same taste and no additives, just cow genetics). All their milk is A2 as is the ice cream and cheese. The milk is delicious, really creamy and full flavored milk. Great price for local and A2 milk too at $7.50/gallon. I'd love to see the ice cream without stabilizers and additives but it is delicious. The lemon poppy seed is the best I've tried so far but the peach was excellent too. Ice cream is fairly priced too, the half gallon was $12. They also have a nice selection of meat, cheese, sauces, jams, and more. All reasonably priced for a farm store and in general. Definitely a must stop.

A typical week includes two types of fruit, some sort of leafy green (salad greens in spring, kale and such later on), some sort of potatoes, an additional veggie (like peppers, onions, and/or eggplant), a loaf of bread and a dozen eggs. My girlfriend and I take one share, designed for a family of four, and we eat well all summer and fall and are able to save a significant amount for winter. They're usually open every Saturday with extra foods and meats for sale. Lastly, even though this is a family operation, they are always quick to credit their "workshares" - members who work picking and/or packing produce in exchange for reduced rates on their CSA. A local business worth supporting.

And for that price (somewhere between $33 and $40 per week), we got about $4 worth of (bad) produce. We're talking sometimes 1/3 of a grocery bag, and always less than half a bag. For the first five or six weeks, we got the same thing: some wilted lettuce and dirty potatoes. There was usually also a sandwich bag of stevia (who in the heck uses stevia?), a fistful of greens (about half a serving when you cook them), and eventually some over-ripe tomatoes that exploded all over my counter. One week we got corn, but the worms in it had eaten most of the kernels. It got to the point where my compost pile ate more of our F&L than we did. At least their basil was good, but so was mine from my herb garden. I was paying for vegetables. I can get over the fact that F&L isn't good at growing vegetables, or at least did a terrible job of managing expectations of its customers. Their web site lists dozens of different vegetable that we could expect, like several different squashes, cucumbers, several different types of greens. We didn't get that stuff. But the single worst part: Farmer Allen. The first commenter is right on. Farmer Allen's emails are at least trite, and usually demanding and outright infuriating. Here's an excerpt. It's from the general distirbution list (sorry, Maura, you're wrong): "No one, I repeat, with the exception of Brooke from Shepherdstown, no one from the CSA has been out to help for weeks now. We have lots of simple weeding tasks that we really need the help of additional hands for. If you can come out now, please do. (But, as I always say: If you don't want to, don't feel that you have to!) Fortunately, several non-CSA people who are filled with passion for the plight of the small local farm have started helping at the farm a few hours a week." Screw you, Allen! Your customers are in DC, don't have cars, and are paying you to grow food and bring it to them! Allen, I'm paying you for a service: to bring me vegetables. I want the delivery, quantity, and quality to justify the $30-$40 I pay you each week. Don't complain that I don't come to West Virignia to pick them for you. If I were going to do that, I would just grow them myself. Don't complain about working outside or in the rain: you chose to be a farmer and I don't care. You were sick one week. That's fine. But give me a refund for the weeks that you didn't come, or ESPECIALLY didn't have enough vegetables (!?wtf?!?) to justify a delivery. Are there bright points....yes. They have good chicken and really good eggs. I would even consider just getting chickens and eggs next year and forgoing the vegetables. And some of his assistants (Maura? Mary?) seem genuinely friendly and more than willing to go out of their way to help. One way they could help is by kicking Allen off of the email and managing the communications, as Allen's emails are a leading reason--after the poor quality and/or total lack of the shares--that we won't be using F&L next year.

My 2010 share has been beyond disappointing. Farmer Alan sends emails with excuses of why the…read moreshares are so small. My favorite emails have been those chastising the members for not volunteering at the farm, an email about 3 weeks into the season indicating there would be no share deliveries that week, and an email berating shareholders for not picking up their shares. I found this last email interesting, considering the CSA did not make deliveries one week. So they can skip a week, but will criticize me if I do the same. I bought into this CSA based on the convenient pickup location and date. However, the date changed after they cashed my check. The CSA did not notify me or provide other options for me. Nice. All in all, this experience has been very disappointing and I'd caution others to get more feedback before you buy a 2011 share. There are a lot of other better options out there.

Rosie's has numerous volunteer opportunities and there are jobs suitable for all ages. They can sign off on SSL hours. I have scooped a lot of poop, helped replace hay and bedding for the animals, and helped with projects to tidy up the sanctuary. The owner and sanctuary manager are both so kind and give many thanks to all their volunteers. The animals (especially the goats) are also known to give their thanks by rubbing up on you and getting snuggly. I recently participated in Rosie's Paint and Sip fundraising event which was a lot of fun. They provided all vegan snacks and drinks, gave a tour of the sanctuary, and then provided supplies for you to put paint blobs on a piece of canvas and the pigs created a work of art for you. It was such a memorable event and a great way to have fun and bond with the animals. Rosie's has a lot of creative fundraisers listed on their events page. I also love that they are an option to visit in lieu of the zoo field trips. A lot of vegan families do not support zoos and Rosie's has been a location kids are allowed to go to instead. I highly recommend visiting Rosie's for their community tour, a fundraiser, or to volunteer. There is no better way to build a connection with the animals than at this sanctuary.
