Quarter Branch Farm<br />
Back to the land<br />
There’s no question about it—Kevin Grove of<br />
Quarter Branch Farm loves his job. Walking<br />
around the Lovettsville farm with Kevin, you<br />
can’t help but feel the tangible excitement and<br />
passion that he has for his work—growing the best<br />
quality greens and vegetables he can for his local<br />
customers.<br />
As he walks down his rows of produce, he’ll<br />
point out the various nutrients associated with<br />
each plant and great ways to eat them. He’ll<br />
show you the three large hoop houses he built—<br />
explaining how they work and how he uses them to<br />
extend the growing season. Kevin will happily talk<br />
about the different ways he grows his seedlings, or<br />
how to build a cold storage facility using a window<br />
AC unit. He’ll eagerly tell you about his successes<br />
and failures, all with a humble smile. Yet, if you had<br />
told Kevin years ago that he would one day run his<br />
own farm? “I would have just laughed,” he says.<br />
That’s because, until a few years ago, Kevin<br />
was a cabinetmaker. He first became interested in<br />
growing his own food due to a health issue, and so<br />
he started a garden. Kevin says that as he read a<br />
number of books about growing food—he knew he<br />
was hooked. “I found myself wanting to get back<br />
to the land,” he explains. “The books got me really<br />
interested in farming as a profession... So I went<br />
for it and haven’t looked back since.”<br />
So, with no farming background, Kevin started<br />
his farm on a quarter acre of his family’s land in<br />
2009. While he says no one should start the way<br />
he did, his expanding farm proves his success.<br />
Kevin is in his 4th growing season, and his quarter<br />
acre has turned into ten acres. He has gone from<br />
paying one full-time employee to four—plus a few<br />
part-time workers. And, in 2011, Kevin’s farm was<br />
chosen for the Forum for Rural Innovation Award.<br />
“I’ve learned a lot,” says Kevin. “It hasn’t<br />
been easy. I’ve made a lot of mistakes and have<br />
a long way to go, but I’m really optimistic about<br />
the farm... This work is a whole lot of fun and is<br />
really rewarding. I really enjoy working with my<br />
employees and with customers. It’s great seeing<br />
the end product go right into the hand of the<br />
person who’s going to eat it. That’s what makes it<br />
all worth it.”<br />

Growing grapes and a business sustainably<br />
For Doug Fabbioli of Fabbioli Cellars in<br />
Leesburg, growing his winery and his<br />
vines in a way that is environmentally<br />
and economically sustainable is a center point<br />
of his business philosophy. “Honestly,” he says,<br />
“environmental and economic sustainability really<br />
go hand in hand.”<br />
On the business side, Doug has been careful<br />
to “grow on the gravy [he’s] making rather than<br />
spending millions on a big operation up front.”<br />
He wants his wine to earn its keep, so he has<br />
taken it slow. When Doug and his family came to<br />
Virginia in 1997, he had over a decade of winery<br />
and vineyard work under his belt. The Fabbioli’s<br />
bought their 25-acre plot and planted some<br />
vines. Yet—rather than immediately starting his<br />
own business—Doug got a job as a winemaker<br />
at a vineyard down the road and later worked as<br />
a consultant for multiple vineyards. He waited<br />
patiently until his vines were established, and<br />
then he stepped back from his other work to<br />
focus on making his own wine.<br />
“Again, it’s sustainable growth,” Doug<br />
explains. “You start small, build a customer base,<br />
make a great quality product, and then expand as<br />
you need.” Fabbioli Cellars opened their doors for<br />
tastings in 2007, eventually expanding their hours<br />
from a few days a week to seven.<br />
Doug also knows that to maintain his<br />
business, he has to maintain the natural<br />
resources he depends on. So, he has implemented<br />
environmentally friendly technology and<br />
practices. His fertilizer is compost from his<br />
operation and from neighboring farms, and he<br />
uses an integrated pest management system—<br />
utilizing as much hand labor as possible. “I<br />
want to make smart decisions,” Doug says. “I’d<br />
much rather throw labor at something than a big<br />
gun of chemicals.” He also uses a geothermal<br />
heating and cooling system, an earthen cave for<br />
temperature controlled storage, and is looking<br />
into getting solar panels.<br />
Today, Fabbioli Cellars is producing about<br />
4,000 cases of wine a year with ten acres of vines<br />
in the ground, and all of this careful planning and<br />
growth stems from Doug’s love of winemaking.<br />
“The base is the wine,” he smiles. “The base is the<br />
grapes...We have great artisan craftsmen in the<br />
cellar and the vineyard making the best product<br />
we can from the land.”<br />

Virginia Labels<br />
Buy Fresh Buy Local: Buy Fresh Buy Local is an<br />
outreach program through which consumers<br />
can find local farms and outlets that<br />
provide fresh, locally-grown products. Our<br />
understanding is that they are providing<br />
consumers fresh, locally-grown products.<br />
As a consumer, ask the seller to tell you how<br />
they define local and the location of the farm<br />
that grows the product. Know your farmer<br />
and their farm! The Loudoun County Buy<br />
Fresh Buy Local’s <strong>guide</strong> listings are intended<br />
to indicate agricultural products grown or<br />
raised in Loudoun County.<br />
Virginia Grown: Product must be grown<br />
in Virginia. Program administered by VA<br />

Defining “local”<br />
“Local” is a relative term defined<br />
locally by individual consumers and<br />
the local community. Your best bet<br />
is to ask who the farmer is and<br />
where their farm is located.<br />
How do you define local?<br />
Why do you eat local food?<br />

promoting local farms and food, restoring<br />
natural resources, and connecting people with nature.<br />
We are pleased to have helped citizens protect nearly 360,000<br />

success stories in America.<br />
