When you look at this map, you see a small street. When we look at it, we see a powerful community. 🗺️❤️

They said city food wouldn’t work in a quiet village. Our background is in electronics engineering and interior designing so we’re used to solving complex problems, but the math on this was simple: good food + an amazing community = success.

When we first decided to bring bold, fast-paced city flavors to the heart of the village, a lot of people doubted if it would work. Skeptics wondered if "city food" belonged here. But we believed in the vision, and more importantly, We believed in this community.
Today, we are thriving, and it is entirely because of YOU. The welcome we’ve received from our incredible neighbors and fellow local business owners here on Main Street has been nothing short of family. From morning fuel-ups at Overlook Coffee Co. to local gems like Burdett Exchange, this village proves that small-town heart can fuel big-time dreams.
Thank you, Burdett, for embracing us, proving the doubters wrong, and making us feel right at home. We are committed to keeping things fresh, getting better every single day, and continuously serving you the quality you deserve.
Next time you’re on Main Street, make a day of it: grab your morning coffee, check out the mercantile, and swing by Rasa for lunch or dinner! ☕️🛒🔥😀

Rhysand (registered as Lord Of Shadows N Stripes) always knows how to steal the spotlight.

This young c**t is really growing into his very big boy romance name. He is epically beautiful and incredibly endearing.

This beautiful photo was taken by one of our apprentices during the apprentice camp out in the back field last night and it really captured something special.

Technical Difficulty versus Speed Difficulty

The Rhododendron Gap trail in Mount Rogers is one of the most difficult designated horse trails I have encountered. They always give me a new sense of respect for horses every time I go through it.

Had a wonderful talk with the students that joined us in the Virginia Highlands talking about how technically challenging footing helps to teach us about the real impact of a riders balance and forethought on the horse. Our lack of planning results in poor last minute corrections when the footing is poor. Our inability to carry ourselves and keep our balance can easily set a horse off balance when they are navigating difficult terrain.

Learning how to navigate technical terrain gives us the EXAC SKILLS we will need at the faster speeds: forethought and balance. It teaches us how to support a horse without getting in their way.
