Appalachian Country Store serves as a one-stop shop for all things local

Upon entering Appalachian Country Store, the customer is immediately immersed in the community. Shelves are stacked with homemade pumpkin bread, pepperoni rolls, pastries and more. Fridges full of local dairy and high-quality meats line the walls, and friendly local staff are hard at work in the back kitchen, ringing up customers, or making sandwiches at the Deli.
