Warm weather and outdoor dining go hand in hand, and in a state as scenic as Virginia there are more than a few options for doing so. One particularly charming spot is located in Lynchburg, tucked away in the woods. The Farm Basket is picnic-perfect, providing delicious lunches and homemade treats that can be enjoyed in a picturesque setting along the river. Here's more on this must-try riverside cafe:

The Farm Basket opened in 1964 as a roadside fruit stand and has since become a notoriously picturesque spot to visit.

This friendly cafe offers a little bit of everything: a lunch spot, coffee and tea house, gardening store, and gathering place.

Perhaps one of the most charming features is the outdoor seating area. Reminiscent of a treehouse, this wooden patio offers a gorgeous view of the lawn and river.

When the weather is nice, visitors can take their lunch under the shade of an umbrella, just a few feet away from the babbling river.

The Farm Basket offers fresh, locally sourced food that will surely leave a smile on your face. Photographed below is the turkey and brie with peaches and blueberry jam served on a fresh croissant.

If you're in the mood for something sweet and refreshing, the made-from-scratch peach milkshakes are a must-try.

Inside, the cafe is equally as charming. An upstairs nook provides the perfect place for reading or working.

There's also a gift shop that sells everything from gardening tools to clothes and handmade jewelry. It's a wonderful selection of treasures and unique gifts.

The Farm Basket hosts a variety of events throughout the year, offering the chance for more sampling and shopping.

Surrounded by woods, flowers, and sunshine, this idyllic place might be your new favorite way to spend an afternoon.

The Farm Basket is located at 2008 Langhorne Rd Lynchburg, VA 24501.
