Shiloh General Store +Addendum

West of Winston-Salem and a couple miles south of US 421 is Shiloh General Store. The store is part of a very small Amish community centered around Union Grove.

The store also has a sandwich shop / deli. We stopped there on the way back for lunch. I had a ham and Colby cheese sandwich on fresh homemade wheat bread with homemade potato chips and a vanilla soda.

I also picked up some fresh sourdough bread, black cherry jam, peach jam, some candy and a pound bag of handmade pasta shells. They have a tremendous selection of jams.

It appeared there were some travelling Amish passing through. It's my understanding they utilize "haulers" which are English (non-Amish) who contract long distance driving, usually via van.

You can see the front of the white van at the right of the photo. There was a small U-Haul trailer attached in which they were putting luggage and such. Looked like a group of about 8 or so travelers including some very polite children.

I was careful to avoid having the travellers in the photo.

If you're in the area, well worth the stop. Closed Sunday and Monday.

Addendum June 29, 2013

This page gets a lot of hits from people using Amish and NC search terms - so I've updated it with additional information.

Troyer's - Statesville, NC

I stopped at another "Amish" or "Mennonite" type store last week so I thought I would update this page for folks looking for these types of stores in NC.

Thursday I had lunch at Troyer's Country Market. Don't know if it's Amish or Mennonite owned but it carries much of the same types of food as Shiloh General Store. Picked up some noodles and a jar of real honey. BTW - purchase real honey from a real store like this. Most honey carried in supermarkets is diluted with corn syrup.

The sandwich was awesome. I laughed when they wrapped it up - it looked like a Dagwood Cartoon sandwich! I would suggest they put some picnic tables out front on the porch. Right now, there's just a couple of chairs and nowhere to sit and eat.

Yoder's - Vanceboro, NC

I've also stopped here a while back. Yoder's Dutch Pantry and Farm and Garden Supply northwest of New Bern / northeast of Kinston. Food and a general farm supply store. They also serve a great breakfast - Mennonite.

Yoder's - Blanch, NC

I have not been here but I've heard of this place. Yoder's Amish Market - It's near the NC / VA border close to Yancyville, NC.

Dutch Country - Murphy, NC

There is also this place - I've not been there - in the far western tip of NC.

So - for folks looking for Amish stores in NC - there you have it. Three in the Piedmont / Winston-Salem part of the state - one in eastern NC - and one at the far western end of NC.
