FEATURES
Augusta County:
Augusta County, Virginia: a tilted, slightly rectangular patch abutting an upper north niche of the raggedy western border of the state. From the ground, say from the rolling farmland around Middlebrook (population 184), the view is both pretty and imposing, befitting the visage of its namesake, Princess (of Wales) Augusta of Saxe-Gotha.

Yes, it’s a lovely place to live, this Shenandoah Valley spot of the Commonwealth, as its residents are quick to tell you. Valley views and forest trails, mountain hideaways, vineyards and beckoning farm stands. It’s no wonder that, as the county’s official website tells us, “Augusta County lives outside. We have fun outside, eat outside and, if we’re in the mood, even sleep outside.” Well, of course.
A Virginia Treasure
BY KEN WILSON
Farming
Not that the residents are all play. Augusta County has a labor force of nearly 32,000 workers. What’s more, the County’s unemployment rate is traditionally lower than in either the state or the country as a whole.
Produce, grain, meat, and cheese—if you’re buying local, you may be buying from Augusta County farmers. Augusta has more farm acreage than any other county in Virginia, with an average farm size of 188 acres. It is the state’s second-largest agricultural producer with, by latest count, 1,729 farms on 286,195 acres.
Augusta ranks first in the state for production of beef cattle and sheep and is second in milk cow production plus one of the state’s largest poultry producers.
“The agricultural component is a big part of who we are as people and as a community,” says born and bred Augusta County resident Amanda Glover. “The farms in Augusta County contribute to our beautiful landscape and our agricultural heritage [and have] shaped our strong work ethic for centuries. We have both traditional farming operations as well as fascinating agritourism destinations, including a farm-brewery with hops grown on-site.” Over 40 Augusta farms are open for touring, including Cool Breeze Farm in Mt. Sidney, Long Roots Farm in Middlebrook, Middle River Farms in Grottoes, and Pebble Hall Wildflowers & Herbs in Weyers Cave, where visitors can pick their own edible plants and wildflowers.
Polyface Farm, owned by bestselling author and sustainable farming advocate Joel Salatin, is one of forty stops on Augusta’s Fields of Gold Farm Trail. The farm receives hundreds of visitors weekly and offers three types of tours:

Over at My Peeps Farms outside Waynesboro, George and Cinda Malouin care for Nigerian Dwarf goats and other critters (aka peeps), including Black Australorp chickens, guinea hens, barn cats, bucks and does and livestock guardian dogs. The Malouins socialize their goat kids so they are friendly to people, all the better for their periodic goat-keeping workshops. Project Grows in Verona is a community farm open for volunteers to work the fields Thursdays from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. mid-May through September. the Viette family has collected, hybridized, and introduced many new varieties. Today Viette Farm and Nursery in Fishersville is the place to go to wander through extensive gardens and pick up the plants and advice to make landscaping dreams come true.
Fresh produce and other bounty, raw and cooked, is to be found at four county markets. The Staunton Farmers Market in the Wharf Parking Lot, downtown, is open 7:00 a.m. to noon on Wednesdays, and 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

CESTARI SHEEP & WO0L COMPANY
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM Stable Craft Brewing in Waynesboro, open Wednesday through Sunday, grows a variety of hops for its beer.
In addition to farming, Augusta’s economy is diverse; manufacturing accounts for approximately 30 percent of the jobs in the County, but the governmental, services, and trade sectors are also strong. Two of the largest local employers are Target and the Augusta Correctional Center
The small, family-owned Cestari Sheep and Wool Company in Churchville, founded in 1968, raises sheep and manufactures knitting and crocheting yarn.
Motel, inn, bed & breakfast and Air BNB owners prosper as well in Augusta. The area’s beauty, easily accessible from the Interstates, attracts tourists at great benefit to the economy.

NORTH MOUNTAIN OUTFITTERS
day through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and from noon to 5:00 p.m. Sunday. The Waynesboro Farmers Market at the Pavilion at Constitution Park, downtown, is in operation 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
In ancient days, the Shenandoah Valley was a great inland sea. Evidence of that time may be seen today in Mt. Solon, where the receding sea carved
out seven limestone “chimneys,” once known as the Cyclopean Towers, rising as high as 120 feet.
Natural Chimneys Park is open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week. The campground reopens in May. TexMex and alt-country band The Mavericks and singer-songwriter Sarah Jarosz will be among the headliners at the Red Wing Roots Music Festival at Natural
Chimneys this year, July 10 through 12. Horse lovers love to ride and even camp overnight at North Mountain Outfitter in Swope, where instead of pasture or open farm land, they can negotiate mountain trails with moderate inclines and water crossings.
Others just relax for a weekend at the 2,400 square foot, Old West style bunkhouse, unwinding in the great room by the fireplace, sitting on the porch overlooking the lake, hiking, mountain biking, or fly fishing, then easing into the hot tub at the end of the day.
Cavers know that Grand Caverns in Grottoes was discovered in 1804 and opened for tours in 1806, making it the oldest continually operating show cave in the U.S. Both Confederate and Union soldiers used it during the Civil War, and there are over 200 verified civil war signatures in the cave.
Today all tours of Grand Caverns are led by a guide. The park at Grand Caverns features a miniature golf course, a swimming pool, fitness, hiking and cycling trails, and river access for fishing, plus picnic areas including five shelters available for rental.
Veni, Vedi, Digesti
Climbing, hiking, or just touring with the top down makes a body hungry and thirsty. Fortunately, Waynesboro’s Stable Craft Brewery has nine beers and three ciders on tap daily; its kitchen serves burgers, tacos, skillet plates and other hearty, beer-friendly food.
Serious beer lovers can begin their marriages adventurously by serving wedding guests a self-styled brew, crafted with the help of Stable’s own professional brewers, then kegged and poured on-site. Wedding parties may wish to stay at one or more of Stable’s four suites—the Farmhand, the Allegheny, the Paddock, and the Blue Ridge.
An even more extensive selection of beers, plus kombucha, may be found at
Seven Arrows Brewing in Fishersville, including a kettle sour called Sour Grapes, brewed—you read that correctly—with 30 percent cabernet sauvignon grapes. Seven Arrows Brewing Company’s name was inspired by a Native American blessing referencing the Creator, the earth, and the four directions of the compass.
North Mountain Outfitter’s next Back Country Ride + Prime Rib Dinner, an all-day experience, is April 11. The next Cowgirl Weekend, with bunkhouse accommodations, meals and a back-country day ride, is May 15-17.
War History and Old Stuff
Lovers of history and old graveyards can meander through the twelve-acre Thornrose Cemetery west of Staunton, where the first burial took place in 1853. After the Civil War, many Confederate dead from the battlefields of Alleghany, McDowell, Cross Keys, Port Republic and Piedmont were interred in the soldiers’ section.
More Civil War history may be found near West Augusta at the Confederate Breastworks Interpretive Site, also popular for viewing fall foliage, a winding half-mile trail along the top of Shenandoah Mountain. Hikers can ponder the events of April 1862 through the letters of Captain Shepherd Pryor, a member of The Factory Antique Mall in Verona bills itself as the largest mall in the country, with 135,000 square feet of antiques all on one floor, including furniture, tools, military memorabilia, glass and kitchen wares, and novelties. All that bounty makes shoppers hungry, so the mall’s own café, Tasty Bites, serves salads, sandwiches, and all-daybreakfasts.
THORNROSE CEMETERY
the 12th Georgia Regiment, to his wife. This is also a popular access point to the gently rolling Shenandoah Mountain Trail, and Ramsey’s Draft Wilderness.
Verona’s Stonewall Brigade Museum is dedicated to the exploits of the 116th Infantry, the oldest continuous service regiment in the Virginia National Guard and seventh oldest in the United States Army. Formed in 1742, the regiment has fought in the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the American Civil War, Spanish American War, World Wars I and II, and operations Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn.
Come and Stay
It’s a great place to visit and a great place to settle down. “Augusta County offers an affordable cost of living complemented by a great quality of life,” Glover says. “We appreciate the rural nature of the county, while at the same time being centrally-located with easy access to recreation, commercial development, and cultural aspects, such as great farm-to-table restaurants. For us, it’s the best of both worlds: we have a few acres and gorgeous mountain views but live only ten minutes from a grocery store.”
Jennifer Shields of Augusta Realty Group, another lifelong county resident, tells the same story: “It’s a great area to raise [a] family,” she says. “It has convenient access to the interstate, if you want to go to Charlottesville, Richmond or Roanoke. And it’s a very beautiful area. It’s not so congested. It has a little bit to offer everyone. I grew up here and just enjoy it.
Lynn Herman of Premier Properties agrees. “Tax rates are so different from Charlottesville,” she adds, noting that this is a good time to buy. Herman points first-time homebuyers to the east (Waynesboro) end of the county, “because it has so much more connection with Charlottesville. You’re right there on Interstate 64, and you’re minutes from Route 81, where you can go north or south. The Waynesboro end of Augusta County is the most sought after at this point—I mean, there’s a Target! The economy in the Waynesboro area is great.”
Outside of that small city “it’s just so scenic and quiet and serene,” she says. “There are large properties, if you want one. You have land and acreage that you can play with, if you have a family and kids and want to have a farm and let your dogs be fenced in in a beautiful back lawn. Plus, it’s close to your job, and close to grocery stores. If someone has no idea about the county asks my opinion, it would be the Waynesboro area for sure.”
Business and pleasure, hill and valley and spectacular caves—Augusta County is a Virginia treasure. CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
I first became a believer in reverse mortgages almost 20 years ago... (before I was in the industry) when my parents first considered doing a reverse mortgage themselves. My Mom asked me to help her do some research and that’s what started me on my path of wanting to eventually be the expert on the subject. It’s amazing to me today that I still hear the same false rumors from people sometimes that I heard two decades ago. The mortgage company does not take title to your home and yes the heirs still inherit the home upon the borrower’s passing. Those are the two most misunderstood topics. And yes the money you receive is not income so it is not taxed as some people think. Also, Medicare and Social Security are not effected by the proceeds that you receive from a reverse mortgage. And yes it’s true that you are not required to ever make a payment for as long as you live in the home. I am very patient when I speak to clients and take my time explaining everything face to face with absolutely no pressure to move forward because I remember how much my parents appreciated it when the person that they worked with showed them the same respect. I have never experienced the Sunday night blues of knowing that you are going back to work the next day as some people talk about. My job is a career that I never plan on retiring from because I genuinely enjoy working with my clients and seeing how their lives are benefitting from eliminating debt and by opening up a line of credit that can be used to help them for the rest of their lives. Every client’s story is a little bit different but they are all hoping to achieve a better life and I enjoy being a small part in that story.
Reverse Mortgages for Senior Citizens Contact John for a no pressure meeting.
A Reverse Mortgage can significantly increase your quality of life in retirement years by eliminating debt and providing funds to keep up with the cost of living.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss anytime or schedule to meet in my office or in the privacy of your home. All meetings are absolutely no-obligation and confidential.
