Sperryville Trading Celebrates One-year Anniversary

Sperryville, VA – Sperryville Trading Inc., a veteran owned small business, celebrates one-year anniversary opening of a new Café and Market in Sperryville, Virginia.  After seven months of renovations, Sperryville Trading Café and Market opened to the public on February 20, 2017.  The goal was to open a local small business, procure local products, and hire local employees.

During the first year of operation, Sperryville Trading has hosted numerous events with some parties containing more than 45 people.  Lisa G. posted on Trip Advisor, “We needed a place for a large gathering (about 50) people for an evening event……Sperryville Trading Inc fit the bill perfectly.”

Thirty-two reviews have been reported to Trip Advisor with 94% of the reviews as very good and excellent.  Marilyn of Alexandria Virginia rated Sperryville Trading as 5.0 and stated, “we had a fantastic breakfast here on our way back from a weekend in Luray.  The food was fresh and delicious, the atmosphere clean and inviting, and the service prompt and welcoming. We will definitely stop again on our next trip to [Shenandoah National Park]!”

Local agriculture successes include nearby farms providing fresh beef and eggs.  The beef comes from a small farm in Woodville, Virginia where the cattle is grass fed and the process facility is located nearby.  Eggs are delivered from a farm located just across the street from Sperryville Trading.  During the first year, multiple farms delivered fresh eggs.  Sperryville Trading continues to work with nearby farms to take advantage of fresh naturally grown food.

Shortly after opening the café, there was a desire to obtain the perfect brioche bun for the fresh beef.  Moving Meadows Farm of Culpeper, Virginia the baker of the fresh organic bread used in the café, developed the “perfect” hamburger bun for our locally sourced fresh beef.  Moving Meadows Farm found the perfect bun recipe.  Sperryville Trading adopted the new bun for hamburgers, chicken, and BBQ sandwiches.  The grass-fed beef combined with the new bun has been a huge success.

Sperryville Trading Inc. was founded April 2016.  The Café and Market opened for business February 2017 serving breakfast and lunch.  Fresh ingredients include local farm fresh eggs, local organic bread, and local grass-fed beef.  Baked goods are made from scratch.  Local wines and local craft beers are also available.  The market also provides a variety of local art and products.
