Mayberry Trading Post

This place is worth your stop right along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The owners are a part of the family who started the store back in the 1800’s. It’s impressive to see the store well loved and taken care of.

Nice store and great local crafts. Proprietor very friendly.

While traveling around the region visiting Bob Childress churches, I was becoming increasingly hungrier. I did not realize that I would be wandering for so many hours and had not packed anything to eat. As I was driving toward a church in Meadows of Dan, all of the sudden a country store popped up, seemingly out of nowhere. When I stopped to look for a quick bite to ride me over, I met some friendly folks, heard a bit about the history of the old post office, and grabbed a big, dill pickle to ride me over. There were also some delicious looking hand pies that tempted me. This place has charm and a welcoming family running it. I would recommend a visit to anyone in the area.

The new owners daughter was there and she is so sweet. The place looks amazing, they've upgraded it a little but kept the original charm. We love this place.

If you want history this is the place to visit. Original mailboxes and the sweetest woman who has worked there for 58 years. If you are interested she informed us they have Brunswick Stew on Sunday's in October.
