The Homestead Farm at Fruit Hill Orchard and Sugar Shack LLC

“Perfect place to go for a beautiful view of the pond, the farm, inside the foods are perfect and delicious. I personally adore anything in a loaf pan they serve. I love the open bluegrass music jams that happen in the summertime weekly. The soft serve ice cream and enjoying the property are an absolute must see and GEM in Winchester VA. Just barely outside of town past James Wood High School. The best staff and operators ever. Awesome country store. Well behaved pet friendly. Park like setting, shade, parking, playground. I’m happy I know of this wonderful venue for events and weddings and one of my favorite festivals, The Sunflower Festival a top 10 in the USA every year. I’ve got some “pickling” to do…lol See yall soon. -Karina RR”

“Acquaint ice cream shop in the middle of 522 on your way to charming Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. It is definitely a spot to stop by on the side of the road to enjoy some of your classic ice cream favorites from root beer, floats, banana splits, or a hand dipped cone. If you have the time with, your family, you can stop by the market where they sell artisanal goods. We didn’t have a chance to check it out this time, but they’ve got your staple goods. There are plenty of places to sit and the menu is perfect for any time of day”

“The Sugar Shack is a great addition to the Homestead Farm! It’s nice to have another place in Winchester that offers delicious hard ice cream (they also have soft serve). There is a somewhat limited selection of hard ice cream flavors (only 5), but the Garber brand is excellent. While the main store closes at 5:00, the Sugar Shack is open until 8:00 PM (see photo of sign). Definitely worth the 5’ drive out of town! I’ll be back!”

“A nice, quaint little farm shop. Prices were mostly reasonable; I got all of this produce for just over $10. They had a nice pick your own deal where one could go out in the garden and pick a good variety of food -tomatoes, different kinds of peppers and squash, eggplant, pumpkins, Swiss chard, cabbage,- for a dollar a pound. They had some baked goods & little trinkets too, if you're into that. Great spot for locally grown food.”

“Visiting here was like falling into an autumn Hallmark movie. Vibes for days! Very cute, upscale, specialty market with lots of local and unique food items. Had a sample of the Ruby Rush apple and had to leave with a half bushel. Would love to come back at other times of the year to see the decor changes. Lovely customer service. Very fun stop!”

“Offer hand dipped and soft serve ice cream, seasonal fruit & veggie, homemade pie and cake and other little things you have to come discover yourself. Here to support local business in general. It is a chill relaxing place with a small play area for little ones. I often buy this soap bar as part of a business support, good soap.”

“We attended the Sunflower Festival. There were some food trucks, lots of jewelry and craft tents, things for the kiddos to do, and plenty of bathrooms/Porto potties. Sunflower picking was $1.00 per flower. There was a fee to enter, skip the line when you pay online. No band in the late morning, wish there had been some kind of music and more food choices.”

“Sugar Shack specifically. Hand dipped ice cream is Garber's. Nothing other than scoops seems to be made with it though. Two small shakes and a basic sundae, all made with soft serve, for over $30 + tip. I couldn't finish the sundae since the syrup that they used was so overpoweringly sweet. We drove there to try something new after standing right next to Red Fox. Mistakes were made.”
