Adventure
Backyard Birds & Coffee

Backyard Birds & CoffeeBackyard Birds & Coffee started from feeding the birds at home in 2014 . From there the passion grew to opening a birding supply store along with a coffee shop including hand-dipped ice cream. We wanted to create a relaxing place to just take a time out from the fast pace life we all live and reset our minds just like the electronic devices we use need to be reset from time to time. What better way than to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee in our relaxed shop and enjoy watching the birds feed at one of our multiple feeding stations!

We also offer:

  • Many lines of birding supplies and feeders in our store like: Audubon, Perky Pet, Woodland Links, Nature’s Way, Heath, Sawmill Valley, Heritage Farms, Droll Yankees, and many others.
  • Complete line of binoculars and spotting scopes from Opticron.
  • Birding tours: walking or kayaking on our local waterways.
  • Birding books for the young and always young at heart.
  • Variety of plants
  • Virginia peanuts and hand-dipped ice cream
Berry Hill Plantation

Berry Hill PlantationMarveling at one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in Virginia as you travel up the tree-lined drive, you’d almost expect Scarlett to slip through the massive columns and glide down the stairs to meet you. Built in 1842, this eight-columned home is the quintessential southern antebellum mansion, once the seat of one of the most successful tobacco plantations in the region. Previous owners of the property included Colonel Edward Carrington, who fought alongside General Nathaniel Greene in the Revolutionary War. Berry Hill lay in ruins for nearly 50 years before being meticulously restored to its original pre-Civil War grandeur. Today, you can enjoy gracious southern ambience in one of Berry Hill Plantation.
