Went to Smith Mountain Lake today working on stories for Discover SML magazine, and, as always, the outing turned into a bit of shopping trip when we stopped at the Homestead Creamery store and Boone's Country Store...Ice cream, apple butter (both Ann's, made in Botetourt County, and Jamison's made in Roanoke County), and canned beef and pork from Homestead; coconut pie, bread, other goodies from Boone's.
Boone's is one of the oldest businesses in the area, opened 36 years ago. Wow! What a neat place with its foodstuffs and sewing materials.
Both of these are a worthwhile trip for anyone. So is visiting Upper End Again, the consignment shop near Halesford Bridge run by Evelena Mullens.
Real treat also to visit Pacabella folks (www.pacabella.com) and see the alpacas as well as the friendly owners.
