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

PETERSTOWN- Just off of Route 219 in Peterstown, sits an 80 by 80 foot building up on the top of a rolling green hillside. Built by a local, one can tell that this barn-like structure is new. The deep red paint on the outside is far from chipping stage, and there is no wear and tear yet anywhere. However, when one walks inside, the atmosphere makes it feel like this town hub has been here for decades on end. 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. Jeff Miller, owner, tells WVDN how the place first got started. Originally from a large Amish community in Holmes County Ohio, Miller, also a minister, “moved with his little flock” to Monroe County WV, to escape growing congestion up north. In the process of moving, Miller sold his wood-working business and trusted in his faith in the Lord to find new purpose and be

First snow of the season occurs with small warm-up into mid-week

It’s been a fairly cold day today across southern West Virginia. Rain in the northern area and northwest winds have made it feel much colder than it is. As we take a look at the next 7 days from the European rainfall forecast it looks like we are still expecting in between a quarter-inch and a half-inch of rain from this system. This is going to change over eventually into snow across the area. The Greenbrier Valley still looks to be on the lower end of rainfall and snowfall totals as the western facing slopes look to be receiving more.
