Your Vote Matters More than Ever!

November 3, 2020 by Kate Zurschmeide

Today is a BIG DAY!  I woke up excited to vote and to be part of shaping the future of our great nation.  If you are able to vote today, (or have already cast your ballot),we salute and thank you for exercising your hard won right to vote.

Think your vote doesn’t matter? You make choices and vote with your time, presence and dollars everyday and those “votes” impact the lives of your friends, family and community.  

We want to thank you for all the “voting visits” to our family farm this season and encourage you to continue to Vote Local.   When you visit Great Country Farms, you are not only helping us keep farming alive in western Loudoun Country, VA, you are also supporting:

  • 3 generations of Zurschmeides who live and work on the farm
  • Countless teenagers working their first jobs and learning the importance of hospitality and good customer service
  • Our core team of managers and farmhands who work hard to bake the pies, make the donuts, welcome the guests, press the fresh cider, plant the crops, bring in the harvest and pack our CSA boxes
  • Countless local businesses who help us keep the tractors running, maintain the delivery vans, provide animal feed and building supplies, paint our educational signs, print our cards & provide packaging and boxes for fruit picking.

We are excited to have the farm open for your enjoyment through November 22nd and look forward to welcoming your family to enjoy this farm we love.    The Knead It! Bakery will be open through Dec 23rd for all your holiday treats and gift boxes.

So as you vote today, we salute you and encourage you to continue to vote daily with your time and money to support local businesses and small family farms that give our community it’s special character and flavor.
