Small Town, Big Culture!
Staunton is the perfect base from which to explore Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The city’s charming downtown is home to a vibrant arts and music scene, a sizzling reputation for local food and dining, and an array of independent shops and galleries clustered along the historic Main Street.
International Food made fresh for you at the Wharf Farmers Market
“Prevet!” I’m Julia and I moved to Staunton from Moscow. I am excited to share some of my traditional Russian food with you, as well as international food from around the world. Be sure to visit my Local Global Pantry, too.
