Since 1963 · Ridinger Estate

A farmhouse with a story to tell

The Farmhouse has served true Southern comfort in Christiansburg since 1963, in a building that dates to the 1800s — the old Ridinger Estate. The rooms are rustic and warm: wood, brick, a crackling quiet that makes it the place for date nights and special occasions.

In the 1970s a vintage train caboose found its way here and became one of the most loved dining rooms in the New River Valley. Today the Farmhouse is a banquet hall too, seating up to 175 for weddings, reunions, and Hokie football wins.

The porch with rocking chairs says everything about this place before the food even arrives.Google review · a porch regular

The Courtyard & Bar

Summer evenings on the courtyard are the heart of The Farmhouse — string lights, the bar pouring cocktails, and live music every Thursday at six.

Thursday live music

Every Thursday at 6pm the courtyard hosts live local acts on the outdoor stage.

Courtyard bar

An outdoor bar that feels like a house party — summer cocktails, cold beer, and plenty of porch.

Great for football

Close enough to Hokie game day that the courtyard is the natural meeting spot before and after.
