Holiday Gifts

The Seders started a store that specializes in merchandise and food products produced locally. A store like that may provide the best holiday gifts.

Looking for a “niche,” Seder said they asked themselves, “What is Berryville missing?”

“Obviously, we do like to eat and drink,” said Seder, pointing at the walls of products.

But, it couldn’t be just any foods, he said.

‘We wanted to be different from any store in Winchester,” he said.

So the couple turned to food products which promote Virginia businesses, including many in Clarke County. To be assured of quality, they wanted to concentrate on products which have won the “Virginia’s Finest” label.

The variety might surprise you.

From Clarke County comes chutney, dried tomatoes and salsa, and fruitcakes and baked goods from the Holy Cross Abbey monastery.

There are special pastas, flavored with garlic or olives, from Charlottesville; all natural cheeses, and, from Front Royal, Walden Farms’ smoked chicken, trout and salmon.

There is even some Virginia’s Finest sheep’s wool for spinning or knitting, Seder said.
