The Farm House Restaurant
at Graves Mountain
in the Blue Ridge Next to Shenandoah National Park
Our "Farm to Table" restaurant sources as much as it can from our own and our neighbors' farms and pastureland - many local organic, pasture raised meats, organic farm chicken, local vegetables and greens in season.
We serve craft wines and beers from our neighbors and crafted spirits.
Living LOCAL.

Blue Ridge Mountains View
The restaurant in the Main Lodge looks out over the Blue Ridge Mountains embracing us in the Rose River Valley.
Live Local Music and Firepit
Most Fridays, we have a singer-songwriter with guitar at the Main Lodge fireplace or firepit.
Most Saturdays, 5 to 7:30PM, we have live local music - usually a Bluegrass trio of fine musicians from our hollow.
It's all about LOCAL.
Firepit and Marshmallow Roasting
Finishing the night, a happy community sets up around the firepit, while roasting marshmallows.
Serving Family Style and Buffets on Weekends
We serve in a modified "Family Style" manner. You order your own entrée, while the sides all come family style.
Desserts are always included so as to give that sweet finish to the night.
Buffets
-Not always but occasionally
We, like every restaurant, are unable to find sufficient staff to serve each table on busy weekends, so we may occasionally do a buffet for Saturday breakfast and dinner, followed by the Sunday breakfast, brunch-lunch.
Lunches, except Sunday, are from the Market-Deli & Tackle at the cross-roads.
Style and Taste
Chef Jose and his team cook with a modern southern home cooked feel - meatloaf with the perfect seasoning, chicken and dumplings with a richer stock than usual, pot roast that tastes of the days of eating at Grandmother's kitchen table.
Diets Cared For
Ask your server for gluten free, dairy free, vegan and Halal solutions. The kitchen will be pleased to accommodate your preferences. Advance notice is requested.
Prices
Subject to change, prices for meals vary depending on the entrée selected.

The Story
What are our ingredients and where do they come from?
Organic sustainably farmed beef and chicken is sourced from Polyface Farm (https://www.polyfacefarms.com/) in Shenadoah Valley and when possible, from our neighbors, the Riders ( https://ridersbackfieldfarmbeef.com/rbf/).
Organic pork comes from our friends and neighbors, the Weavers (https://www.papaweaver.com/ ).
As much as possible, vegetables are sourced locally – our own farm, our neighbors, Shenandoah Valley and Pennsylvania Amish farmers.
Organic regenerative garden: In 2021, we started an organic, regenerative garden, located down below the Main Lodge by the Rose River on the right-hand side.
Cidery – Craft Beers – Local Boutique Wines
Hard Cider – Graves Mtn “Squeeze” - is by us – finishing is by our neighbors, DuCard Vineyard.
Wines by DuCard Vineyard, our neighbor in the next hollow, where the vintner is Julien, working in a French style.
Beers are by our neighbors, Shirley and Ralph Figgers - Beer Hound Brewery
Moonshine is mostly by the Culpeper moonshiner at Belmont Distillery.
