Open Mon–Sat · Closed Sunday
18019 Country Store Dr, Culpeper, VA 22701(540) 547-4449
We started as one small room in 2009. The Ole Country Store you walk into now went up in 2014 due to growing support from our community. Still run by the same family, still the same values, still your local country store.
The store is Mennonite-owned, and we value the quality that Mennonites and small local vendors are known for. Most of the bulk food comes out of Lancaster County, PA, and any baked goods we don't make here in our kitchen come from Amish and Mennonite bakeries in Lancaster, PA, or Holmes County, OH. The beef and pork we serve and sell are local and the milk comes from a couple hours away. The outdoor furniture is made just over the mountains, and the soaps and lotions you find in the housewares section are local too!
We opened in a small space with a little bakery, a deli counter, and a handful of bulk food items. It was modest, and it turned out there was a lot more demand for it than we expected.
Having outgrown the original space, we put up a custom building designed to better serve our customers with a bigger deli, more room in the back for baking and packaging, and wide aisles for the bulk food.
Neighbors, family, and customers from the old store turned out for the ribbon cutting. Although some things have changed (hello, lunch specials and The Country Creamery!), the deli, bakery, and shelves filled with delicious goodies were here from day one. A lot of the faces we saw that day still come through our doors regularly.
The deli, bakery, creamery, bulk grocery, local meats and milk, gifts and household items, and outdoor furniture that you know and love, with space to sit and rest on the front porch and a view over Lake Culpeper!
If we wouldn't eat it, we won't sell it. That's a big reason why we source from local vendors and Mennonite and Amish businesses known for delicious products.
We believe good business is about more than just what you sell; it's about how you treat people. That's why we strive to foster an atmosphere where you feel genuinely welcomed, valued, and cared for.
We try our hardest to do everything right the first time, from baking a cake to building a sandwich to stocking a shelf. If something is wrong, though, we do our best to make it right.
Come on in, wander around, and find some new favorites, then sit on a rocker out front and rest awhile.
Open Monday through Saturday, from 6:45 in the morning on weekdays. Stop in for a sandwich, stay for the ice cream, leave with a pie.
