Support your local farmers! Fresh eggs and raw milk are the main reasons I drive 40 min from Hiawassee but they have TONS of awesome natural and healthy foods and supplies there. Local bakeries deliver fresh treats and bread also. Top 5 places for me in Western NC!

I absolutely love this place! It is so unique to the area and is the best place to find products you can't find anywhere else around. They are a vital part of our community and they also support musicians in the area and beyond with their regular shows on the lawn. The kindest people too!
