Published: 7/14/2009
 July 1, 2009 (from the Washington Post) - Set among the rolling green hills of Loudoun County, Jim Dunlap's farm hasn't changed much since the 1780s. The original fieldstone farmhouse, designed by William Penn, is still there, albeit larger after two additions. So is the stone smokehouse and a spring house. There are peach trees, raspberry bushes and vegetables.

The property is surrounded by huge suburban mansions with wide, empty lawns. Click here to read the rest of the article online.
