FHC Title

The Farmington Hunt kennels and clubhouse are located in northwestern Albemarle County near Free Union. Our territory encompasses not only the rolling hills and fields at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where we have followed hounds since 1929, but also reaches into historic southern Albemarle along the Hardware and James rivers. Our country’s diverse terrain presents constant opportunity for great sport with a wide variety of riding experiences.

President Message Heading

  May2013

The most important news for FHC members is that Matthew Cook and family are in full residence at the kennels and all is going very well. Our annual meeting April 28th was well attended and a fun evening. Treasurer Thoma Johnson gave a glowing financial report based on all the fund raising efforts of the past year. This is a great testament to everyone's interest and effort. Thanks.

Newly elected Board members are Jennifer Cofield, Carol Ham, and Martha Drum: all active foxhunters. These horsewomen bring great interest and talent to the board serving on the social activities committee with Shelly Thompson, the finance committee and Martha has agreed to head up the membership committee, a very big job. She is taking over that job from Debbie Wright and putting together an active committee. We welcome all of these new members and look forward to their contributions.

Connie Laudenschlager has stepped into the Secretary's job, taking over from Pattie Boden. Connie will be responsible for keeping all of us organized and communicating, and we are very glad to have her in this position.

We welcomed the Cooks with a special party May 11th and look forward to upcoming summer activities including horse shows, "Walk and Talk" trail rides, early morning hound walking at the kennels, the Virginia Hound Show at Morven Park on May 26th, and the hunter pace in June; there is something for everybody at FHC. Come out and enjoy. (See Events).

Bellair Farm CSA is located on historic Bellair Farm, 900 beautiful acres just south of Charlottesville, Va. Our goal is to connect our member families to the land, their food and their farmer. We grow 50 different types of veggies in addition to some fruit and flowers all under strict adherence to the organic standards. In addition to picking up their weekly share at the farm or the 2 weekday markets, our members are welcome to enjoy the acre+ of Pick-Your-Own crops, our annual farm festivals and our Saturday workshops designed to educate the community about sustainable agriculture. For the 2012 season we will be cultivating over 20 acres of land so we'll have plenty of volunteer opportunities available for groups or individuals who want to get their hands dirty and learn about sustainable agriculture. Call us at 434-262-9021 to learn more or to sign up for our CSA!
