Land Trust of Virginia Hosts 2nd Annual “Sunset in the Field”

The Land Trust of Virginia (LTV), a nonprofit organization that partners with private landowners who voluntarily protect and preserve properties with significant historic, scenic, or ecological value, will host Sunset in the Field on Sunday, Oct. 23 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Farmer’s Delight (36276 Mountville Rd, Middleburg, Va. 20117), a picturesque country estate built in 1791.

“This is our second Sunset in the Field event after wonderful feedback we received last year,” said Sally Price, executive director of LTV. “We carefully selected another venue that like Oak Spring, has amazing sunset views and acts as wonderful backdrop to exemplify what we are working so hard to protect – our natural and historic resources.”

Sunset in the Field features the iconic Bluegrass Band, The Seldom Scene, and barbeque from legendary Shaffer’s BBQ. Attendees will enjoy beer from Old Bust Head Brewery and wine, as well as a silent auction full of one-of-a-kind gifts and experiences, a raffle, and children’s scavenger hunt. Two music sets will culminate at sunset in a shared moment of celebration for conservation, lead by Reverend Jonathan V. Adams from Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, to acknowledge the expansive, conserved landscape surrounding the event.

“We sincerely thank landowner, Betsee Parker for welcoming us at Farmer’s Delight this year, “said Ashton Cole, deputy director of LTV. “All the staff are looking forward to connecting with supporters new and old for a spectacular fall day!”
