PATH Foundation: Enhancing the health and vitality of our community

The PATH Foundation is a charitable grantmaking organization located in

Warrenton with a focus on health and vitality. It was created in November 2013 through a joint venture between Fauquier Health and LifePoint Hospitals. With assets of $200 million, the PATH Foundation (formerly Fauquier Health Foundation) is in a position to have a significant impact on its service area—Fauquier, Rappahannock and northern Culpeper Counties.

Early in the process of organizing the foundation, Fauquier Health and the PATH Foundation partnered to conduct a community health needs assessment to identify existing health priorities, note service gaps and determine where the foundation can turn its focus to support the health and vitality of the community.

The assessment determined the PATH Foundation’s four areas of focus—access to care, childhood wellness, mental health and senior services.

Since its inception, the PATH Foundation has provided more than $2 million in grants to over 50 organizations (including The Fauquier

Education Farm, see story on page 11). Learn more about PATH Foundation at www.pathforyou.org.

Have you always wanted a vegetable garden, but don’t want to till under your lawn? Step out of the comfort zone of traditional

landscaping and try incorporating edible landscaping into your existing ornamental beds. The edible plants in this list add a spotlight to only a few of the amazing plants that could work for you.

1 Blueberry containers are bountiful! Peach Sorbet blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Peach Sorbet’), is a dwarf compact shrub best adapted to patio containers.

2 Fruit tree espaliers are especially nice! Add one along a wall or fence to artistically incorporate fruit next to your house.

3 Try adding culinary herbs surrounding stone pavers to create a living walkway! Variegated Lemon Thyme (Thymus vulgaris ‘Variegated Lemon’) can tolerate light foot traffic.

4 The otherworldly Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) adds interest to your planting beds! Its exotic, glaucous gray-colored foliage will be a conversation starter.

5 For pops of bold color try Bright Lights Swiss Chard (Beta vulgaris var. cicla ‘Bright Lights’). This rainbow colored cultivar of Swiss chard is a nutrient dense leafy green with brightly colored stems.

Now, you can look at your landscape with a new perspective, visualizing all of the edible landscaping possibilities. By paring appropriate edible plants with ornamentals, you can achieve a more sustainable and literally tasteful edible landscape. The Fauquier County Master Gardener help desk would love to answer plant specific questions. Contact us at (540) 341-7950 x1 or [email protected].

Crowfoot Farm'sCreamy Asparagus Soup

with Chicken

1 small chicken (or 5 cups chicken broth + chopped chicken)

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 lbs fresh or frozen asparagus

1 medium onion, diced

2 cups milk or cream

salt & pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the chicken either whole or cut into pieces in a stockpot, cover with water and add the vinegar. Simmer gently for 3-6 hours (or simmer overnight in a crockpot set to Low). Strain chicken pieces from broth and set the chicken aside to cool. Measure 5 cups of chicken broth into your stockpot and save extra broth for other recipes.

Wash fresh asparagus, trim ends and chop into 1 inch pieces. Add the asparagus and onions to the chicken broth and simmer, covered, until tender (5-10 minutes). Remove from heat and purée until smooth. Add the milk or cream and salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with finely chopped chicken. Yields 6-8 servings.

We love simple recipes prepared with high quality fresh, local ingredients. Our family enjoys this creamy asparagus soup any

time of the year. It is a wonderful way to use asparagus that we have blanched and frozen. Homemade chicken broth has such rich wonderful flavor and is full of minerals.

Tucked down a long gravel driveway in Madison County sits a giant bright green greenhouse where just

six years ago there was no road, no well or electricity, and only a rough 4-wheeler trail. Fast forward to 2016 and you're looking at the heart of Robin Serne and Eason Burke's North Cove Mushrooms operation.

It took a full year to complete the green-house, from clearing trees and pouring the slab to raising and covering the custom-frame. "We've used special fiberglass insulation to make the greenhouse as insu-lated and energy efficient as possible—and we had to make giant needles to sew the pieces together," laughs Robin.

Currently, they buy inoculated mushroom logs and use their greenhouse for fruiting, but are clearing land for an expansion building where they would be able to prepare and inoculate mushroom-growing substrate themselves. Inside the warm, humid greenhouse sit racks and racks of beautifully fruiting mushroom logs—golden yellow and gray-blue oyster mushrooms, fluffy white lion’s mane and the unmistakable flat brown tops of shiitakes.

Growing mushrooms is a 24/7 job, from monitoring greenhouse temperature to closely watching fruiting so as not to miss prime harvesting time. “Mushrooms are very temperamental—one degree warmer and everything is ready to harvest a couple days early, one degree cooler and they’ll slow down and you could miss a market weekend,” explains Robin.

Robin and Eason also have a certified kitchen where they make prepared foods using their mushrooms, local produce from the farmers markets and organic ingredients. This year, they hope to expand and offer hot, prepared foods at local festivals.

You can find many of their creations at farmers markets around the region, including: raviolis, GFV SeaCakes, GFV southwestern shiitake black bean burgers, mushroom artichoke dip, shiitake sweet potato bisque soup, GFV mushroom broth, bottled Reishi Remedy herbal mushroom tea, mushroom salt mix, and medicinal mushroom tinctures.

Using Fire to Restore the Land

In 2013, PEC was given a 141-acre property at Gilbert's Corner in Loudoun County and set about

working to restore the property’s degraded streams, enhance wildlife habitat, and revitalize the agricul-tural use of the land. In the fall of 2016, PEC will work with Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF) and Loudoun County Offices to conduct a prescribed burn on the prop-erty. The prescribed burn will help control invasive species (without the use of herbicides), put nutrients back into the soil, avoid soil com-paction that occurs when land is mechanically cleared, and facilitate management of the area for agricul-

tural production. As part of the farm restoration

work, PEC has enrolled in a cost-share program administered by the Loudoun Soil and Water Conserva-tion District that provides funding for fencing that will exclude live-stock from Howser’s Branch, which flows through the property, and creates a new drinking water source for the livestock. The project will improve water quality in Howser's Branch, provide clean water for livestock, and permit a rotational grazing plan that enhances pasture productivity. The southwestern corner of the property is set aside for wildlife habitat and includes a

low wetland area and plans for an upland pollinator meadow. Options are being explored to convert a 12-acre pasture into a native warm season grassland that could be grazed and provide habitat for grassland species. “One of our objectives in owning the property

at Gilbert’s Corner is to highlight stewardship practices local land-owners can undertake to restore a property’s agricultural produc-tivity and natural resources,” said Michael Kane, director of con-servation for PEC. “We hope that landowners will continue to follow the progress of the restoration on our property near Gilbert’s Corner, recognizing that public agen-cies—like DOF and others—offer a

variety of services that can cost-effectively help landowners achieve their agricultural and natural resource stewardship goals.”

“One of our objectives for the property that we were given near Gilbert’s Corner is to highlight stewardship practices local landowners can undertake to restore a property’s agricultural productivity and natural resources.”

Navigating Farmland Leasing

Increasing the local food supply and expanding opportunities for next-generation farm-

ers in the Piedmont depends on improving access to affordable farmland. Many Piedmont landown-ers are interested in expanding the agricultural use of their land, and many farmers are eager to partner with landowners through farmland leases. However, both landowners and farmland seekers say that it often proves very difficult to make these matches in Virginia.

The Piedmont Environmental Council is working to make farmland leasing easier and more widespread in the Piedmont. In the spring of 2015, we released the publication “Finding a Place to Grow: How the Next Generation is Gaining Access to Farmland.” The booklet included

eight profiles of successful farmland lease arrangements in Virginia.

PEC also held two workshops in the fall of 2015 for landown-ers and land seekers focused on farmland leasing. The workshops, one in Charlottesville and the other

in Middleburg, had the keynote address given by Kathy Ruhf, senior program director for Land For Good—an organization that helps farmers secure land in New Eng-land, as well as provide guidance to help farmers, landowners and

communities navigate the complex challenges of land access, tenure and transfer. Presentations by local Virginia attorneys with experience in the legal side of farmland leasing arrangements followed. A panel of farmers leasing land, landowners and service professionals rounded out the workshops with tips and advice for those seeking leasing arrangements.

PEC is excited to be hosting several other leasing workshops and events in 2016. The first event was held in Charlottesville in late March. This social hour style event gave landowners and land seekers an opportunity to meet and share information. Virginia Farm Link and the Virginia Certified Farm Seeker program were on hand to provide information on the resources they offer. We will be offering another workshop in Fauquier County in Summer 2016, and one in Loudoun County in Fall 2016.

Check our website, www.pecva.org/events, for up-to-date information on upcoming leasing events.

Mob Grazing in Rappahannock

The Piedmont region of Virginia has long been a pasture-based farming

area. Continuous grazing of land has lead to poor plant cover, soil compaction and weed pressure. Due to the environmental and economic impacts of overgrazing, it’s an important issue for agricul-tural and conservation groups. But changing an agricultural operation can seem risky to farmers, and some are wary of trying new pas-ture management practices.

In 2013, PEC and partners embarked on a project funded

by a grant from the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service. In cooperation with Virginia Coop-erative Extension, PEC is working with Michael Sands—the manager of Over Jordan Farm and owner of Bean Hollow Grassfed in Rap-pahannock County—to create a place where livestock producers can come see and evaluate different management practices and their effects on livestock health, weight gain, and soil and pasture health.

The previously overgrazed pastures of Over Jordan Farm are perfect for testing the effects of

rotational and multi-species graz-ing. These two techniques have been shown to improve the health of the land and livestock. Mike Sands manages a combination of cows and sheep on 110 acres of the farm. He plans to graze them on multiple fields with different management objectives, including native grasses for summer graz-ing, stockpiled fescue for winter strip-grazing, and improved and unimproved mixed grass pastures. “My goal is to have an ecosystem here that is productive, profitable, and full of wildlife,” says Sands.

Through biannual soil sam-pling, plant surveys, and continual time lapse photography of different pasture management practices, the project aims to offer insight on how mob and rotational grazing of sheep and cows can positively affect livestock health and farm profitability.

To learn more about the project, join one of our Field Day Pasture Walks on May 10, 2016 and August 2, 2016. More information

available on our website, www.pecva.org/events

Sylvie Rowand launched Laughing Duck Gardens & Cookery in 2008, first offering gardening workshops and

cooking lessons, then personal chef services, and now catering events large and small. Lacking a certified kitchen in her home, she has a ‘Have Knives, Will Travel’ approach to her business, preparing and cooking all meals in her clients’ kitchens.

Most important to Sylvie is providing her customers with the highest quality and freshest ingredients. For her, that means purchasing from local farms—and it depends on the location of her client for which farms she selects.

“If my client is in Rappahannock, I will buy in Rappahannock; if they are in Berryville, I will buy closer to there. I want my clients to know that I’m purchasing from a farm down the road from them so that they can continue to patron the farm even when I’m not the one cooking,” Sylvie explains.

Always on the look-out for new farms and

products, Sylvie leaves a Buy Fresh Buy Local guide in the backseat of her car and keeps a keen eye as she travels to and from clients’ homes. Meats and vegetables are easy to find, but items like organic fruit, dairy, grains and dried beans are more difficult to find locally.

Sylvie also has a small garden where she grows specialty vegetables, herbs, cane fruit, and edible flowers that she uses for her personal chef service and some small catering events.

“I’m not a farmer, but having a small garden makes me appreciate the effort local farmers put into growing their produce, and I can use those products in a meaningful way,” says Sylvie. “You’re supporting a small family farm, and the community you love. The only way to have the land look, and continue to look, this way is to support the people who work it.”

Using that philosophy, Sylvie has rooted herself and Laughing Duck Gardens & Cookery in the beauty and bounty the Virginia Piedmont provides.

VINEYARDS


The Fauquier Education Farm is truly a unique community resource, serving Fauquier County and the entire Northern Piedmont. By promoting agricultural education through on-farm demonstrations and promoting

agricultural best practices, they enable communities to produce fresh healthy vegetables in an economically sustainable way.

The Farm offers extensive agricultural demonstrations, workshops and training classes, and donates all produce grown on the farm to local food banks and assistance programs. In the 2015 growing season 38,000 pounds of fresh, wholesome vegetables were donated to underprivileged families in the Piedmont region.

The farm has one full-time paid employee, but relies on the goodness of volunteers who visit from Fauquier and surrounding counties to lend a helping hand.

Each summer, PEC hosts a farm-to-table dinner to benefit The Fauquier Education Farm. This event is a wonderful way to celebrate community and agriculture—please mark your calendars to join us this year! The dinner features local produce directly from The Fauquier Education Farm, delicious local wine and bluegrass music. All proceeds go to benefit the farm.
