Woodstock Cafe
Mar 7, 2023
Our conversation for Tourism Tuesday - Shenandoah County edition - with Kary Haun from Shenandoah County Tourism featured Nikki Grant, owner of Woodstock Cafe.
Nikki gave us some history of Woodstock Cafe and told us how she & her husband came to be the owners five years ago. They both have successful backgrounds in the food service industry. Her husband, Jose makes the pasta from scratch as well as many of their breads. Wherever possible, they purchase and use locally sourced ingredients. We talked about their extensive wine selection & how she chooses the wine that's featured in their shop and on their menu.
We talked about their dinner service and the new retail area where patrons are able to purchase many of the ingredients that are used in making the dishes (and cocktails) on the menu.
Woodstock Cafe is open Monday - Wednesday from 8am - 3pm, Thursday - Friday from 8am - 4pm, and then they re-open for dinner from 5pm - 8pm. On Saturdays, they are open from 9am - 4pm and then re-open for dinner from 5pm - 8pm. On Sundays, they are open from 9am - 3pm. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram for daily specials.

Before we wrapped up our conversation, Kary gave us details for the Farm2Fork Affair. Farm2Fork Affair is a one-day connector event between Shenandoah Valley farmers producers and commercial buyers from around the state and D.C. The event provides Shenandoah Valley producers an opportunity to directly promote their products, network, and increase sales. Buyers will have an opportunity to discover and experience the wide variety of fresh food options available throughout the Shenandoah Valley including Augusta County, Clarke County, Frederick County, Page County, Rockbridge County, Rockingham County, Shenandoah County, Warren County, and the Cities of Buena Vista, Lexington, Staunton, and Waynesboro. The event takes place on March 14, 2023, at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds.
Commercial buyers from anywhere in the mid-Atlantic attend free of charge. Producers from sponsoring localities may attend at a cost of $15 per exhibitor. The vendor fee covers the cost of booth space, table and chairs, and chaffing dishes if needed.
Farm2Fork is a collaborative effort of economic development agencies, tourism departments, business development organizations, and local food initiatives. The event has been held sub-regionally since 2015 and in 2019 expanded to draw on the Shenandoah Valley’s reputation as a farm-to-table hub.
