About this event

Staunton — Virginia's oldest charted city, birthplace of Woodrow Wilson, and the cultural hub of the Shenandoah Valley's Great Wagon Road Scotch-Irish heritage — anchors Augusta County's exceptional honey landscape in the Shenandoah Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. Augusta County's honey traditions draw on the extraordinary convergence of the Valley's agricultural landscape and its mountain forest borders. Apple blossom from Augusta County's vast apple orchards — the Shenandoah Valley produces more apples than any Virginia region, and Augusta County is among the Commonwealth's top apple-producing counties — provides the region's most distinctive early spring honey: light, fruity, and intensely aromatic, Shenandoah apple blossom honey has been celebrated since Colonial times. Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) from the Blue Ridge's rocky slopes provides an earlier May premium flow. Basswood from the George Washington National Forest's cove hardwood forests of the Allegheny Mountains provides a prized July honey. Tulip poplar from the mixed forest woodlots of the Valley floor contributes in late May. Clover from Augusta County's dairy farm pastures — the county is a major Virginia dairy producer — carries through summer. Staunton's Blackfriars Playhouse is the world's only re-creation of Shakespeare's indoor theater. The festival at Gypsy Hill Park — Staunton's beloved 213-acre municipal park — celebrates the Shenandoah Valley's Scotch-Irish heritage and Augusta County's extraordinary honey traditions.
