This land is in

I wanted to

preserve it for

generation.

Ben Venue Farm

land placed under permanent easement lowers the value used by the state to determine local ability to pay, resulting in increased funding from the Commonwealth for schools and other county services.

• “We are extremely grateful to Mrs. Eastham and her family for the donation. When this program can help preserve working family farms, it is especially meaningful,” said Leslie Grayson, the Director of the Northern Virginia office, located in Aldie.

“I also want to thank John McCarthy, Rappahannock County Administrator, who provided essential support in completing this landmark project,” said Grayson.
