MIKE MASSIE
“If we lose Rappahannock,” he asked, "where do we go? I have grown and developed roots here — I want my children and grandchildren to have the same opportunity to eryoy the county and make a living here.”
The two main businesses of the county, tourism and fanning, he said, need each other. Without the beautiful, working farms, the tourists would not find Rappahannock County such an attractive place. He emphasized that he would like to keep it that way. “I don’t want to see Rappahannock go the way of Prince William” and the other suburban counties, he said.
Mr. Massie attended the Commerce School at the University of Virginia before returning home to Rappahannock to begin fuming in partnership with Ms father, Wide Massie, m 1677 oh the family farm at Massie’s Corner. They continue to operate a beef cattle farm which also produces hay and straw. He is married to the former Toni Bredin, of Kennett Square, Pa. They are expecting their first child in September.
