About Loudoun Flavor

MISSION:


Loudoun Flavor Market is the first Virtual Farmer's Market affiliate of the Fresh Fare Market. Like other
Fresh Fare Markets in other counties, Loudoun Flavor will offer Loudoun County’s most convenient, high quality fresh farmer’s market. We will strengthen our local farm & town economy and improve our quality of life. Loudoun Flavor and Fresh Fare Market will provide a virtual marketplace with physical pick up points where residents can obtain excellent farmed and handmade products, education, resources, opportunities and assistance towards this mission. We will strive for a sense of community within our membership and in conjunction with our sponsors and affiliates. The results will be meaningful to life in Loudoun. Areas positively impacted will include human health, history and land preservation, air/soil/water quality, farm animal health, related industries and small businesses (including agriculture, tourism, local retail, healthcare, education) and employment rate.

MARKET MANAGER'S QUOTES FOR THE WEEK "“Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower " Of all things under the sun that a man may love, the living world he loves most purely. In a lifetime’s devotion to it, there is no self-interest. Men so devoted tell us of their well-companioned days, but they are reticent about their best reward. In Nature, nothing is insignificant, nothing ignoble, nothing repetitious. All the music is great music, all the lines have meaning. - Donald Culross Peattie -

Laura comes from a family of farmers and growers. She has been involved
in the Farmer's Market circuit in Virginia for over 8 years. For the
last 11 years, she grew a handmade/homegrown hobby into a business that
eventually included two retail locations and several webstores. Her
prior corporate experiences in bank product sales and at some of
Virginia's top advertising/marketing agencies has readied her to handle
this new adventure which should benefit many Virginia businesses. After
years of not only vending but helping with the development of farmer's
markets and co-ops in VA, Laura realized that a new arena offering a
convenient retail method was needed to support these unique businesses
and farms. CSAs and Physical Farmer's Markets are great but more is
needed. Loudoun Flavor will provide it.
