When I married my husband we didn't have a prenuptial agreement
- other than one orally - which was that someday he would buy me a farm! Well, he did.

When my sister-in-law and her husband were
transferred to Fairfax County for business, they called to inform me that the area of Middleburg and Purcellville in
Virginia were everything I had ever talked about in the way of my dream farm. So needless to say we ended up on a 32 acre
farm with a Middleburg phone number and a Purcellville address.
The first 2 years I spent single handedly stripping wallpaper
and painting everytime my husband went out of town, not to mention clearing the "32 acre wood" :). My pet chicken and
sheep population were growing and I then decided to get a little guidance of how to make this thing work as a business,
or at least to pay for the feed.
The Extension Office of Loudoun County was where I headed.
Corey Childs was a wealth of information, and his help got us off to an incredible start.
Today, Fields of Athenry, thru the encouragement of Corey
and Warren Howell, has prospered into a small Farm Business dream I would have otherwise never imagined.
Well, that story belongs to a very special family friend
-Father James McCurry. His family are sheep farmers in Ireland, not too far from Gallway Bay. Beautiful and majestic indeed.
A little slice of heaven. --Just like right between Purcellville and Middleburg Virginia.
So as the Irish Ballad goes: "Low Lie the Fields of Athenry....."
If you visit our Farm, you are bound to hear this song playing.
Come see us, please.
