Food scene

A family-owned business since 1949, our friends Ron and Peggy run this wonderful country store (aka Turner Ham House) where they serve their own cured hams and offer many other local treats and crafts. Their fried ham sandwich was recently named the #1 Best Sandwich in Virginia by Food and Wine Magazine and USA Today. Don't miss it!
