Sustaining the Family Farm:
Cliff Miller's Vision of Stewardship
 In the foothills of the Shenandoahs in rural Rappahannock County, Virginia, Cliff Miller raises cows, sheep, pigs and chickens on the same land his ancestors farmed in the early days of the American republic. As the sixth generation of his family to farm the acres where Mount Vernon Farm stands today in Sperryville, Cliff has a deep personal connection to the land, the farm and its future. This concern for the future and the past has inspired him to use sustainable, holistic methods of raising his land and animals, such as rotating his herds through different patches of land each day. If you want to learn the secrets behind the best-tasting meat in the region, listen to Cliff tell his story and outline his wise vision of stewardship that will preserve the land his forefathers gave him for many generations yet to come.
