Big news here at the premier bed and breakfast in Richmond, Virginia – home of the “killer” breakfast – is that we have just restocked with breakfast meat products (sausage and bacon) from Keenbell Farm in Rockville, Virginia. Keenbell Farm is a third generation farm focusing on producing grass-fed beef and pastured pork raised beyond organic standards, on pasture and stress-free. Bacon and sausage from Keenbell Farm is great-tasting, of highest quality, and fresh. The Isbells of Keenbell Farm strive to bring back the small, family-run farm as an integral part of the community and operate in accordance with environmentally friendly practices – showing pride in their land and their products.
Now operated by its third generation, Keenbell Farm started out as 175 acres in 1951. Migrating through a myriad of changes, steps began in 2005 to resurrect the farm from the previous years’ toll and adjust its focus to pasturing natural meat operations in line with certified natural/organic standards to create a lean, healthy product unlike anything you might have tasted. The Isbells practice management intensive grazing, moving animals from one pasture to another in fast rotation giving the grass and land long rest periods – less impact on the land, extending the growing season, facilitating stockpiling of grasses for winter grazing. Once stockpiled grasses are consumed, the Isbells feed hay produced on their farm land without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. They do not use hormones, routine antibiotics, or steroids – they believe in taking good care of their animals, as the animals do for them.
The Isbells and Keenbell Farm provide the best. And our inn is proud to serve their products to our guests every morning for breakfast. We strongly believe in supporting small, family-run operations, that contribute to our local economy, that reduce our impact on the environment, and more importantly, provide high-quality, great-tasting food. It may cost a bit more than grocery store foodstuffs, but our guests deserve the best we can find. So make a reservation at our historic Fan district inn, enjoy our “to-die-for” breakfast, and taste a bit of local Virginia fare. You won’t be disappointed.
