The author's main goal is to define sheaves of vertex algebras and then use it to generalize the chiral de Rham complex of \textit{F. Malikov}, \textit{V. Schechtman} and \textit{A. Vaintrob} [Commun. Math. Phys. 204, 439-473 (1999; Zbl 0952.14013)]. In particular the analog of the chiral de Rham complex is defined for an arbitrary Gorenstein toric variety, and in some cases computed. The author provides a formulation of a conjecture that ``covers all examples of `toric' Mirror symmetry'' in his new notions. Also he calculates vertex algebras related to \(A\) and \(B\) models for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties.
