I did a double take when I was driving down Fitzwater Drive - wondering if they've been there for a while - as I don't recall ever seeing them before - so I asked how long they've been open. Lots of local meat options. I selected a package of their bacon and ground Chorizo. They have lots of other meat selections - steaks, all kinds of brats and sausages, pork products, and even some non-meat food offerings. Staff was very nice. Paid with Apple Pay. Service was prompt!

The Whole Ox is a one-stop-shop for food and wine. Yes it's a butcher shop, but more importantly to…read moreme, it has its own in-house restaurant with some fantastic food. They serve beer on top as well. If that's not enough, you can pick up baguettes, cheese, and an assortment of wine (including local favorites such as Linden and Glen Manor). I'm not talking low-end stuff; more like well selected champagne and high-end dairy products. They do have tables for sit-down service, but it's a small building so it can get crowded. Try ordering in advance instead; you won't be disappointed.

What a great place to get your farm fresh products -- meat, dairy, bread and pastries, etc... The…read moreowners of the farm are very responsive both in person and via email. Have been coming here on weekends for about 4 years to purchase boxes of meat, eggs, bread and other treats. I only wish I lived closer to be able to participate in their milk share, but I'm too far away to be coming to pick up milk every week or every other week. I also love to walk around the visit the animals when I come to get my supplies to cover me for a couple of months. My favorites include all types of beef, pork products and sausage. We've ordered and gotten Thanksgiving Turkey's here and they were delicious. I've learned to always put my trust in local farms and farmers. Plus you are supporting the local Virginia farming industry and that is a good thing. Give this place a try, you won't regret it. Its more expensive than going to the local grocery store, but the quality of their meats is fantastic. Its the way meat should be and is worth every dollar!

I'd love to bring a cooler and stock up! I took the sammich to go - the thing felt really heavy and dense. I wasn't sure I'd be able to eat the whole thing in one sitting! I drove into Shenandoah National Park and sat at the Dickey Ridge Visitor Center and wolfed down the sammich. It was very tasty and filling - and I did eat the whole thing!

A good experience at Let's Meat On The Avenue. A local butcher shop providing virtually all of your…read moremeat requirements. They claim to source from local suppliers when possible and their beef is humanely and pasture-raised. They also prepare fresh sausage, weekly. Also available here is food for animals, smoked meats, animal fat for cooking, and grill products. The prices are a bit steep considering the meat is some of the highest quality you can get without having access to a local farm or raising and butchering your own livestock. The customer service is friendly. I do recommend researching and having knowledge of the specific cut of meat you desire before going to this butcher or any butcher for that matter. Butchers have a tendency to recommend alternatives when they are out of a specific cut. Many times they are spot on, but for the seemingly uneducated it can be an opportunity for bad businesses to offload a lesser or expiring cut for as much if not more expensive. On one visit I wanted boneless short rib and the butcher here appropriately recommended Denver cut which is the alternate name for this cut. A novice might not know this. Overall a good experience. I'll visit again when in the area.

This place is a must-go-to. It's an animal sanctuary and a non profit, so all proceeds go towards…read morethe sanctuary. There are baby goats (today I saw goats born this morning, and held goats 1 week old!) and chickens, roosters, hens, emu, llama, alpaca, and a miniature horse! The owner, Martha, is extremely gracious and welcoming and very eager to educate you on the animals (Emu's eat 20 lbs a day! and some chickens lay blue eggs, or eggs without shells!) Because it's a non profit it's run by volunteers mostly under Martha's watch. It costs money to feed those animals and run the farm, and it's amazing that she has dedicated her life to this - her passion is very obvious. They have tons of activities; a large kitchen for their cooking instruction, as well as classes to make your own candles and soap, spin alpaca and sheep wool (the alpaca wool is SO SOFT) and workshops to make birdhouses. They have a fascinating educational unit on honey, and they create these wooden boxes that they donate to schools so that they can make their own honey and learn! (and you can too on the roof of your house or backyard - she can teach you how!) She even showed me beautiful emu eggs that they have decorated (like those fancy ones you see in stores). So cool. This is great for any age (I am definitely planning on returning to do a trip in the spring and incorporate her neighbors that are wineries, too). I brought a 3 year old with me and she was ecstatic doing an egg scavenger hunt around the property, and sticking her hands in the coops to collect eggs. Even I didn't tire of it! So neat. Definitely a must-see...not to mention the drive out there shows you heaven. I drove from Reston and it took about 45 minutes - all of rt. 50 is just gorgeous. The Ashby Inn is next door and a great B&B (so I've heard) to stay at over the weekend for a get-away too.

Why didn't I marry a lawyer so I could live out my Shenandoah dream? We bought some of her bread and pies (baked in her Falls Church house), which were average. I bought some heirloom tomatoes that were delicious. Some of the soaps smelled divine and I kept returning to them, but I'm more of a body wash gal and couldn't plunk down $10 for a square of it. I was bitter as I checked in via Yelp as we we left and saw the "free soap with purchase" announcement--especially since I was chatting with the owner about Yelp, Living Social, etc. and I thought she could have mentioned it. She hooked me up with a free throwback Pepsi though, so I can't really be angry. This place is pretty unique--even quirky. Put it on your to-do list, but it's probably not the best pick-your-own option. However, if you want to see sheep from biblical times, hear some kooky stories and smell some yummy soap, this is your spot.
