Massanutten Country Corner, Luray

Stopped by on a whim after reading about this place on yelp. So glad we did! The moment we got there, the goats announced our arrival with their adorable little bleats. The owner came out to meet us and offered to cut up some fruits for us to feed the animals. The little goats and pigs were so cute, and loved the apple slices we fed them. The farm market had a lovely variety of treats including jams, sauces, pastas, tasty baked goods, locally-sourced cheeses and meats, munchy snacks, and some pretty unique ice cream flavors. The main shop had an incredible collection of products from small businesses, many of which were local to the Virginia area. They were one of the few shops we found that carried t-shirts specific to the city of Luray, rather than generic Virginia souvenirs. Their diverse collection included handmade birdhouses, boutique candles and lotions, hand-crafted jewelry, beautiful stones and geodes, and tons of games and puzzles for the kiddos. Although I was super tempted to buy half of the store, I ended up deciding on some local goat milk lotions and a luxurious smelling candle, along with a few snacks and a baking mix from the farm market. Since we came in the beginning of March, it was too early for garden season. However they also had a third shop exclusively dedicated to garden decor. In the warmer months they sell a variety of flowers and plants as well. The owner Jeff was extremely friendly, and it was obvious that he genuinely loved running his place. He was even nice enough to show us their future plans for adding a charming coffee shop to their space with positively stunning views of the Appalachian Mountains. Hopefully it will be up and running the next time we come back. The absolute best part of our visit was getting to see Winston the piglet coming inside for the evening. After thoroughly inspecting every corner of the shop, he happily made himself nice and comfy in his little crate. It was clear that Winston and all of the animals were being lovingly cared for. Our visit to the Massanutten Country Corner ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, and we will definitely be returning the next time we're in the area!

Visited the area on a weekend getaway and this was our last stop before heading home. We purchased shirts for our kids, a sweater for me, a beautiful amethyst geode slice (pictures attached) and locally made baked goods, jerky, and apple butter. We left on a Sunday and this shop opened earlier than other souvenir shops nearby which is nice! They have a lot going on here in a great way, souvenir shirts, signs, ornaments. Nice locally made soaps and candles, a Christmas shop, farmers market, goats and pigs, and a play area for kids. If we travel to the area again we would stop in again for sure!
