Brannock Enterprises is a Class A General Building Contractor firm located in Amissville, Virginia. It is owned and operated by Guy Brannock. He has been remodeling and building homes in Northern Virginia and the surrounding areas since 1984.

Guy became interested in wood carving, violin, and guitar repairs in his early teens. During his computer programming studies at James Madison University, he segued his carpentry interest  by immersing himself in construction projects during the summers on historical renovations and new home building. His early mentors included several of Fairfax and Fauquier County’s well-respected home builders.

After college, Guy realized that building and construction was his true passion. He established Brannock Enterprises. The business was founded on two fundamental principles: 1) that listening to his clients' needs and dreams is the first step in construction, and 2) communication throughout the process is key to ensuring a great outcome.

Besides the creative approach Guy brings to each project, Brannock Enterprises embraces the analytical side of the business: fully transparent, “open book” accounting is provided to all clients with all line items identified, including profit and overhead. This allows his clients to participate in value engineering throughout the process.  Weekly reports summarize completed phases and outline future goals and track crucial information.

I was born an artist, and it took me shy of just 29 years to figure out how to share it with the world. During college, I studied fashion design with a focus in photography. This unique training allowed me to take an idea from creation, to production, to print. I founded Gregorio Photography in 2009 while shooting weddings for Beautiful Day Photography. It is an indescribable feeling to be included in the tender moments that unfold throughout ones wedding day. Shooting weddings makes me happy! Although I am based out of Virginia, I am eager to accompany my clients to wherever their hearts desire. So far my photography has taken me to Arizona, California, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington DC, West Virginia, Eleuthera, Guatemala and Mexico . My images have also been featured in such notable publications as Destination Weddings and Honeymoons, Caribbean Brides and The Knot.com.

In addition to weddings, I also photograph special events, parties, horse shows, animals, and commercial products. When I am not out with my camera, I can be found enjoying time with my husband, Sean, riding horses, or playing with my three amazing dogs, Luna, Beau and Cash.

Over the past six years I have built an amazing team of photographers who also live for this passion. I would love the opportunity to share my vision with you. Please contact me to inquire about custom packages or special requests.

Born and educated in Germany, Hans Gerhard first came to the US as an exchange student for "just one year", but returned to teach at American Universities, and has lived in the US since 1958. For many years, he considered himself a recreational painter of landscapes, and occasional carver of wooden objects, sometimes recognizable as birds,mammals,or fish. Since moving to Hughes River Farm in Rappahannock County in 1987, and encouraged by kindred spirits among the Rappahannock arts and craft community, he has turned to working with scrap iron and steel to create sometimes bizarre,usually rusty, and occasionally whimsical sculptures. In this genre he follows ideas derived from folk art and richly developed by masters of modernist art in different countries. His paintings,meanwhile, have left the realm of observed "reality" and turned emphatically abstract: creating their own reality, leaving the viewers to reach into their own imagination.

Gerhard's work was first publically shown by the late venerable Washington,D.C. Arts Dealer Franz Bader during the 1970ies, and, more recently, in Virginia galleries. His paintings and sculptures have been acquired by public and private collections in the United States and Europe.

Pen Druid Brewing focuses on wild fermentation, barrel fermenting and aging, traditional spontaneous fermentation and naturally carbonated beers. The brewery is owned and operated by the three brothers Lain, Van and Jennings Carney who are in the psych-rock band Pontiak. 

The brothers have spent nearly a decade traveling North America and Europe, playing music and experiencing the local beer traditions. They've released 11 albums on the legendary Chicago independent record label Thrill Jockey Records. In between tours they would brew beer at home. 

The name, Pen Druid, comes from their old family farm which sits on the Thornton River in Rappahannock County, Virginia, just a few miles downstream from the brewery. 

In the winter 2015/2016 the brothers isolated their own cocktail of wild yeasts and bacteria from the Virginia Piedmont reflecting the terroir of Rappahannock. And in that spirit of capturing the terroir of the Rappahannock Piedmont, the brothers also began their spontaneous fermentation program which employ two copper-lined coolships.

Pen Druid is a 10bbl woodfired brewery. All kegs and bottles are naturally carbonated using secondary fermentation in the bottle or the keg.

We are located at Copper Fox Antiques in Studio 3B in Sperryville, VA where the north and south forks of the Thornton River converge.

Built in 1921, Scrabble School is recognized for its local, state, and national significance. It is one of more the 5,000 schools for African-American children built across the South during the Jim Crow period thanks to Sears Roebuck cofounder Julius Rosenwald. So few "Rosenwald Schools" remain that in 2003 the National Trust for Historic Preservation listed them among America's "most endangered places." Scrabble School is listed on both the Virginia and the national registers of historic landmarks, and is featured on the Virginia's African-American Historic Sites Network. Thanks to a community effort, in 2009 it became one of the first Rosenwald Schools to be restored and one of an even more select group to have a body of work devoted to its history. 

Sharing the stories of people who attended Scrabble School - and placing them withing the large historical context of the Jim Crow era - represents the essence of the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation's mission to preserve the school's history and to share its legacy through public outreach and educational programs.

As a long-time landowner and farmer in Rappahannock County I understand the special needs and desires of those interested in buying or selling agricultural land in our region. As a former city dweller, I also appreciate the various amenities (or lack thereof) that attracts city folks to our area as weekenders, retirees, or transplants. In fact, every six months or so, I put together a short public seminar in a central location in Washington, DC to answer questions city dwellers might have about taking the plunge into country living. Over 20 years of experience in local real estate has honed my ability to find the best deal, so whether you're looking for a cozy country cottage, a rustic cabin, a grand estate, working farm or vineyard, or tidy village house, I can help you find the perfect Rappahannock property!
