Located on the side of one of the roads less traveled, this historic, 7th-generation, family-operated farm market, located in Roanoke County, Virginia, has been serving this region with fresh local provisions since 1875.
The owners of Jamison's Farm Market (traditionally known as Jamisons' Orchard) on Grandin Road Extension belong to the German Baptist Brethren faith. They are "a traditional, conservative Anabaptist group closely related to Old Order Mennonites and the Amish, known for practicing plain dress, emphasizing community and peace."
After finding out about this place from the owners of the reasantly opened "Needle in the Noke," when I visited them to write a review, I immediately made plans to come visit, and today I did so.
Since the location is tucked in the middle of beautiful mountains, the warm, cozy, and welcoming ambiance does perfect justice to the surroundings -- complete with a friendly and very helpful staff.
As I walked through the market and talked with staff members and customers, I discovered the great variety of products that they have to offer. Their core offerings include an abundance of fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables, and a wide selection of homemade jams, jellies, apple butter, honey, and baked goods from the local places like the Country Village Bakeshop.
They also have a very popular Deli, renowned for their made-to-order sandwiches, salads, and soups. A customer was purchasing a Hearty Chicken & Rice Soup, spoke highly of it, and encouraged me to get one. Which I did, and enjoyed it at home. It was amazingly delicious. I invite you to view my photographs and video accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and its merchandise.
For the holiday season they offer a variety of gift baskets filled with a selection of their best homemade products, Amish items, and handcrafted goods. I highly recommend that you give them a visit for all you shopping needs and that that you give them your total support. read more
