Loudoun County, Virginia is the wealthiest and fastest growing county in the country. While these statistics may bring to mind McMansions crowding the landscape, those visions couldn’t be farther from the truth. In fact, the western portion of the county is actually very rural, with breathtaking views. The rolling hillsides are dotted with horses grazing, cows, grape vines, and countless fields of hay, corn, and other crops. Loudoun County is known for horses, horse shows, fox hunting, and multidisciplinary horseback riding from children’s lead line to world class show jumping, Olympic level eventing and dressage. With robust real estate demand, Loudoun is where technology and rural pursuits blend.

And so it makes sense that the Loudoun County Department of Economic Development recently hosted a Farm Exchange event. As the name suggests, participants discovered, or “exchanged,” resources, suppliers, and service providers related to agribusiness. Those who participated are right here in the community and offer valuable services that can help our clients achieve their agribusiness goals in the upcoming season.

As the only real estate services provider present, we promoted our farm property listings as well as upcoming custom homes. In addition to representing our services, we also forged valuable connections that we can utilize for our clients, including mortgage lenders, barn builders, insurance companies, landscape and tree services, soil and water management, farm equipment sales, rentals, and service, and a number of other businesses that would make any new farm owners’ business and recreation activities more pleasant and efficient.

This was the first such “exchange” and it was well received. Properties on the Potomac was honored to participate, and we look forward to additional events where we can make even more connections for our clients.

Whether you are looking to acquire raw land for development or an existing horse farm, our contacts and recourses can assist with every aspect of land acquisition and development. Contact Properties on the Potomac at 703-624-8333 today!
