Quail & Hound Farms Photos by Vicky Moon
W
endy and Rick de la Torre have a small farm in Middleburg, where they began their country life four years ago after traveling the globe for work. They purchased some chickens and began selling eggs. Then they moved on to bees and honey and now… scrumptious sauces. This includes “Middleburg Grill,” from a recipe Rick created. “I’ve been working on it for a number of years,” he told Country ZEST. “It’s a combination from travels in Spain and Germany. We captured the essence of what we wanted from European travels.” When they moved to Virginia, they visited local farmer’s markets and “focused on the right ingredients. And, we wound up with a tangy sauce that complements every meat.” They also sell Habanero Plum Sauce and, just in time for the holidays, the latest flavor….Bourbon Peach. Add to the line several special rubs: Savory Steak House and Virginia Heat. Their logo and clean fresh look is a collaboration. “We did the designs in house,” Wendy said. “We wanted to create something traditional and that was elegant with a classic font.” Their neighbors along Snickersville Pike often came by to purchase products and now they have an online following with customers from California, Texas and Florida and even as far away as Pakistan.
