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.
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.
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.
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.
