Apple butter with extra cinnamon is sitting in a jar somewhere in West Virginia right now, and I can’t stop thinking about it. One small bakery near the Virginia line even sells its jam by the pint and the quart.
That’s not a sample size. That’s a commitment.
The stories behind these shelves surprised me too. One Amish community moved to our mountains from Holmes County, Ohio, in 2024.
Another opened its farm market just one summer after settling in.
I love that these stores feel like a step back into Grandma’s cellar. Rows of pickles, jellies, honey, and sorghum still wait in glass, the way they did when canning season ruled the kitchen.
A few even sell raw milk, hand-rolled butter, and seeds for next year’s garden.
So which jar would you grab first? I already know mine has a cinnamon kick.
1. River Bend Amish Market & Greenhouse
Few stores can sell you pickles, a chicken tractor, and a lead on a good carpenter in one stop. Out in Valley Bend, this Amish market pulls off that combo with ease.
Start with the glass. Shelves hold homemade pickles, jams, and jellies beside local raw honey, maple syrup, and molasses.
Then the cooler calls your name. You’ll find raw milk and butter, non-GMO farm fresh eggs, and locally raised beef, pork, chicken, and lamb.
Walnut Creek meats and cheeses share space with hand-rolled butter and yogurt. Homemade breads and baked goods round out the grocery side nicely.
Gardeners get their own treat outside. The greenhouse carries vegetables, fruits, plants, flowers, seeds, and garden supplies for your next canning harvest.
Here’s the part I adore. The store also offers referrals for local Amish carpenters, furniture makers, sheds, a lumber mill, and firewood.
Homemade soap, bulk candies, and fall decorations add a little extra fun to the trip. Animal feed is available too, so the barn crew won’t feel left out.
Plan carefully, since the doors close Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Saturday mornings tend to bring the biggest crowds.
Address: 265 Oak Ln, Valley Bend, WV 26293
2. Hidden Creek Farm Market
Talk about moving fast. The Amish community near Hillsboro took root in 2023, and this market opened its doors by summer 2024.
That quick start didn’t mean a skimpy store. You’ll find bulk dry goods, specialty cheeses, nursery plants, and fresh donuts under one roof.
Bakers in the family are clearly busy. Fresh bread, rolls, cinnamon rolls, pies, and cookies give the counter a serious pull.
Produce is the real star, though. The market shares news when it has a seasonal surplus, nudging shoppers to stock up for canning tomatoes and making sauce.
I love that honest, old-school approach. It sounds exactly like Grandma calling to say the garden went wild again.
Pantry staples and other cooking supplies fill out the shelves. So if you forgot something for supper, you’re probably covered.
The setup has an easygoing Amish and Mennonite feel in the Pocahontas County countryside. It’s the kind of stop that turns a scenic drive into a stocked cellar.
Hours run Thursday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM. Mark that window, or the cinnamon rolls will wait for someone else.
Address: 1455 Lobelia Rd, Hillsboro, WV 24946
3. Creekside Country Market
Since 2017, a family-owned Mennonite market has quietly kept Marion County pantries full. It’s proof that a good spice aisle never goes out of style.
Bulk foods drive the show here. Spices, flour, cereal, beans, rice, and candies give home cooks plenty to scoop.
Now for the jars. A dedicated section holds jams, pickles, and dips, which feels made for anyone building a Sunday relish tray.
Hungry right now? The deli counter offers meats, cheeses, and salads, so lunch can happen before you leave the lot.
Gluten-free and health food options sit alongside regular groceries. That’s handy if your family table has a few different needs.
Beverages fill in the gaps too. You can grab drinks for the ride home without making another stop.
Thursday is the night owl’s friend, with hours stretching to 7 PM. Other weekdays close at 5 PM, and Saturday wraps up at 3 PM.
Friday afternoons and Saturdays tend to be busiest. A weekday morning might give you more elbow room at the bulk bins.
Sundays are closed, so plan your jam run accordingly.
Address: 672 Koons Run Rd, Fairmont, WV 26554
4. The Cheese ‘n’ More Store
The name gives away the headline act, but the ‘more’ deserves a standing ovation. Sweet Springs Valley in Monroe County hosts this Amish store with plenty to snack on.
Cheese lovers, start here. The selection leans deep, with fresh-cut deli meats waiting right beside it.
Deli sandwiches mean you don’t have to go home hungry. That’s a mercy after browsing that many cheeses.
Then come the jars and tubs. Spreads and dips fill the shelves, along with gourmet ingredients for adventurous cooks.
The candy aisle is a trip down memory lane. Classic favorites sit beside Amish specialties that can be tough to find elsewhere.
Bakers get attention too. Baking items and bulk goods make it easy to restock flour and fixings for pie season.
Furniture is part of the mix as well. So yes, you might leave with cheddar and a new piece for the living room.
The store keeps steady hours, Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5:30 PM. Sundays stay closed.
Pair it with a scenic drive through Gap Mills, and you’ve got a proper country afternoon.
Address: 5521 Sweet Springs Valley Rd, Gap Mills, WV 24941
5. Halfway Market
Boyd and Betty Meadows opened this Cabell County market in 1970. More than five decades later, their family still runs it.
That kind of staying power earns trust. Fresh produce fills the place year-round, which is no small trick in the mountains.
The canned goods section is a jar lover’s paradise. Amish jams, canned vegetables, homemade apple butter, Amish-made sorghum, and honey line the shelves.
Apple butter with extra cinnamon is a known favorite here. I’d pack a spoon for the car, honestly.
Bulk spices, dried fruit, trail mix, pasta, and mixes keep the pantry side busy. Fudge and cheese tempt anyone who claims they’re just looking.
Glass-bottled sweet tea and local eggs feel straight out of Grandma’s kitchen. So does a greenhouse stocked with perennials and seasonal annuals.
Amish furniture, quilts, and handbags add something for the home. Oak and cedar chests come in several sizes.
Unlike most stores on this list, Halfway Market opens on Sunday. Weekend afternoons do get lively, so weekday visits may feel calmer.
It’s an easy stop along US Route 60, right where Milton’s country roads meet the highway.
Address: 16366 US-60, Milton, WV 25541
6. Quiet Delli Foods
Any shop with a pun that good in its name earns a second look. Along Buckhannon Pike in Harrison County, this little grocer serves up deli favorites and Amish-style staples.
Made-to-order sandwiches headline the counter. Lunch meats and cheeses come in a big variety for anyone stocking the fridge.
Walnut Creek Amish foods appear throughout the store. That brand loyalty shows up in the deli case and on the shelves alike.
Bulk foods give home cooks room to stock up. Canned foods and pantry goods make it easy to fill your own cellar shelves.
Whole food goods sit right alongside the Amish products. It’s a nice blend for shoppers who read labels closely.
The location is handy, just off the highway near Clarksburg. A quick visit fits easily into a regular errand loop.
Hours run Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM. Sundays stay closed.
Weekday afternoons can get busy, especially Mondays and Fridays. Morning shoppers often find a calmer pace.
Takeout is available, which matters when that sandwich can’t wait. Free on-site parking keeps the stop simple too.
Address: 4332 Buckhannon Pike, Mt Clare, WV 26408
7. The Appalachian Country Store
Brand new and already beloved, this Peterstown store opened in January 2026. Several Amish families relocated here from Holmes County, Ohio, in 2024.
Talk about a welcome addition to Monroe County. The shop works like an old-fashioned general store with a modern appetite.
Baked goods greet you with serious temptation. A deli and sandwich shop make it easy to turn errands into lunch.
Fresh dairy fills the cooler, including Homestead Creamery products. That’s a regional favorite many folks already keep in the fridge.
Dry goods and kitchenwares cover the practical side. Pantry staples and classic snacks fill in the rest.
Regional selections and local products add a hometown flavor. Homemade goods sit beside everyday groceries.
I love seeing a fresh Amish community put down roots in West Virginia. It feels like a new chapter for an old way of shopping.
Weekday hours run 8:30 AM to 5 PM. Saturday closes at 3 PM, and Sunday stays closed.
Saturday mornings bring the biggest crowds. Early weekday visits tend to feel quieter.
A restroom is on-site, which road-trippers will appreciate on a long country drive.
Address: 3397 Seneca Trail S, Peterstown, WV 24963
8. Crazy Harry’s Country Market
A giant wooden chair out front makes this Elkins market hard to miss. Honestly, it’s the best roadside greeter in Randolph County.
Inside, the fun keeps going. Jams and jellies share the storefront with chairs and benches, which is quite the combination.
Amish furniture is a big draw here. The selection runs large, so bring measurements if you’ve been eyeing a new piece.
Fresh produce fills the market too. Plenty of other goods keep browsers wandering longer than planned.
Step back outside for even more. Plants and trees cover the grounds, making this a solid stop for gardeners.
That mix of jars, furniture, and greenery feels like a country fair that never packed up. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday on Beverly Pike.
Hours run Thursday through Saturday, 9 AM to 6 PM. Sunday opens 9 AM to 5 PM, a rare treat on this list.
Monday through Wednesday, the doors stay closed. Plan around that before you head toward Elkins.
Grab a jar of jelly, snap a photo with that chair, and call it a West Virginia afternoon well spent.
Address: 790 Beverly Pike, Elkins, WV 26241
