Livestock Friendly Communities

Do you want to raise a few chickens?  Have a goat or two?  Maybe you want ranch some beef or keep a few dairy cattle.  We'll that ain't happenin' in Alexandria, Arlington or Falls Church.  Instead, you may want to look to one of these communities:

  • Page County - This is a prime location for a family-farm or a larger enterprise.
  • Prince William County - There are fewer and fewer choices in Prince William these days.
  • Rappahannock County - Highly recommended for the gentleman farmer or family vineyard.
  • Rockingham County - This is a great place for a practical farm or a family farm.
  • Shenandoah County - This is a great place for cattle, sheep and other livestock.
  • Warren County - There's been a lot of development in Warren County, but you can still find a home for your livestock here.
