The Loudoun Valley (Loudoun County) VA is an area of historic farms, rolling hills, small farms and rapidly growing suburbia on its eastern border towards the Washington, DC metro area. One finds old VA farm families separated by a few miles (and a few decades it seems) from high tech zones and mass developed suburbs. There is a fair number of "Farmettes" which raise anywhere from 6 to 15 Alpacas. Lovely creatures.
