Food Scene
This pub is our favorite place to dine locally. It has outstanding and authentic British pub fare, Guinness on tap (as well as other great brews) and many vegetarian options. Dine around roaring fireplaces, at the hefty bar or on the terraces depending upon the time of year. Look for the red London telephone booth in front of the pub on Rt. 50 in Upperville, a 10 minute drive from our farm.

It's really a deli rather than a market and we love it for a quick bite to eat, preferably on the terrace since indoor seating is limited. They offer a nice variety of subs, sandwiches, homemade soups at reasonable prices. Local shop keepers in town often call in orders for carry out.

Affiliated with the nearby Salamander Resort & Spa, this market offers a high end (and somewhat pricey) menu for eat-in, carryout and catering. There is plenty of seating indoors and under cover outside and it's a great spot to hang out in Middleburg while you're taking a break from shopping or hiking around the town.

We love Goodstone...in fact, we were married there in 2005! This is a beautiful, high end B&B just a 5 minute drive from our farm. The menu is fantastic, albeit expensive, and the bar with huge hearth is a nice spot for a drink. There is also a lovely terrace if the weather cooperates. Great choice for couple looking for a romantic evening together, or stop by for a drink and stroll the grounds and gardens, which are stunning.

This is the longest running business concern in the town of Middleburg and, yes, George Washington slept there--he surveyed the original town plan. It's an historic B&B with a fine restaurant furnished with Virginia antiques and hunt country art work. The extensive menu has something for everyone, focusing on hearty and plentiful.
