Lee’s OrchardLee’s Orchard
Lee’s Orchard sits about 10 miles east of Shenandoah National Park in Rappahan-nock County, surrounded by beautiful
vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The apple orchard is undoubtedly intertwined with the his-tory of the community—it’s been in Bryant Lee’s family for 5 generations.
While the picturesque landscape has remained largely intact since the farm was established over 200 years ago, changes in the apple industry have forced Bryant Lee to modify his business model. In 1980, he had over 160 acres of apples and was shipping them up and down the east coast, but competition from the global apple market, along with shifts in consumer preferences, made Lee focus on what sets his apples apart—taste.
“People have grown accustomed to the per-fectly shaped, shiny apples you can get year round in the grocery store,” explains Lee with a smile. “If people did a side by side comparison they’d
probably choose the shiny one, but once they taste the fresh apples, they change their minds real quick.”
On 14 acres, visitors have the choice of 18 distinct apple varieties, which they can pick them-selves or grab from the huge crates in the barn. The orchard has familiar apples like the Golden Delicious and hard-to-find historic apples such as the Albemarle Pippin (a favorite of Thomas Jefferson’s) and the Rambo (brought over from Sweden in the 1600s). “I encourage people to try them all, because how else are they gonna find out what they like? Part of the reason they come out here is for the experience.”
It’s clear that Lee knows a lot about grow-ing apples, but it all comes back to the customer when you ask him what he likes most about run-ning the orchard. “I like talking with the people,” he explains, “seeing families enjoy the beauty of this area makes me happy.”

‘Know your farmer’ is a popular phrase these days, but Derek and Amanda Luhowiak, owners of The Whole Ox
Butcher Shop in The Plains, think people should get to know their butcher as well.
Amanda, a native of Fauquier County, explains, “a lot of people care about where their food comes from, but they don’t have time to go out to the farms. We’ve built relationships with the majority of the farms we work with, visited many of them and know their operations. Our customers trust that we’ve done our research by asking the ques-tions they would ask.” Their idea is simple: create a shorter link between farmers and consumers.
As the shop’s name suggests, their products are based on processing whole animals—using everything from nose to tail, making sure that nothing goes to waste. “We even use the bones to
make stocks and soups,” says Derek.
Derek was a vegetarian for nine years, so when
he decided to eat meat again, he wanted to “make
sure it was humanely raised, good for the environ-
ment, and good for people.” It’s important to Derek
that they’re able to provide the customer with
information about where the different cuts of meat
come from on the animal, how they are processed
and how they might be prepared in a dish.
This holistic philosophy is also evident in
the relationship they have with their customers.
“Derek and I want this to be an extension of our
home. We want people to be very welcome and
not only shop, but hang out for a little bit, poke
their head in the kitchen, and talk to us, even have
a taste of wine. They should have a really fun over-
all experience,” says Amanda.

THIS GUIDE IS A PUBLICATION OF
Piedmont Environmental CouncilPiedmont Environmental Council
The Piedmont Environmental Council works with citizens to keep Virginia’s Piedmont a wonderful place—by
protecting beautiful and historic landscapes, building great communities, promoting local farms and food, restoring natural resources, and connecting people with nature.
We are pleased to have helped citizens protect nearly 369,000 acres in our nine-county region with voluntary conservation easements—one of the most dramatic private land conservation success stories in America.
Check out our website if you want to:
` learn about local and sustainable farming
` protect land
` build wildlife habitat where you live—from butterfly gardens to vast preserves
` make your home more energy efficient
` browse community events that can help you live more sustainably—or just get outdoors
` get involved in the issues shaping your local community
PEC is a non-profit grassroots organization supported by people who care about the Piedmont.
