This year, we’ve put together Our Favorite Things – a short list of places near the Inn on Mill Creek B&B where you can find the stuff that brings joy. Thinking of a small town often evokes the image of a family-run country or general store. Well, it’s not just an image in our neck of the woods – we have three small towns nearby, each with their own store:
- Davis Country Store – find products by local artisans, growers, and producers in this updated version of a country store owned by the Davis family, in Old Fort (pictured; photo credit: Blue Ridge Traveler): facebook.com/thedaviscountrystore
- Flavors on Main – located in downtown Marion, this general store doubles as a fly fishing shop and outfitter: facebook.com/flavorsonmain
- Town Hardware – sure you can get nuts and bolts at this Black Mountain mainstay, but it’s also a traditional general store: facebook.com/townhardwaregeneralstore
