Mennonite Country Store Reopens to Provide Employment Opportunities for Local Girls and Offer Nostalgic Products and Food for Tourists that visit Muddy Pond.
"The Country Porch" is a fun stop to find food, fresh baked bread and a good time just sitting and enjoying being in the country. "The Country Porch" is a favorite gathering place for locals and tourist alike.
If you stop by make sure to tell them you saw their video on the Appalachian Channel.

Well organized and clean. And beautiful young ladies. Very well mannered. Country living at its finest. And their sandwiches are skimpy like big city shops are. ❤❤❤❤

This partner ran store is amazing. It’s massive, I can only imagine the cost/expense that went into it to get the store running. It looks like it runs like a well oiled machine. A popular business succeeds from excellent service. It appears they have that nailed. Good work everyone and thanks John for yet one more great video. I hope to see these places one day soon thnx Brian

I love your general stores series. Usually, I will close my eyes as soon as you step in with your camera, and just like that, I can smell the place. It always makes me smile. I will never be able to visit these places and meet these beautiful people, so thank you for all your videos. Much love from Indonesia.

Sir Thank you for your Country Store show where three families band together to re-open a closed store so that (one of the reasons) they could provide jobs for girls in the community, which I really enjoyed and learned from. I think you move your camera too often and too quick. Would you consider not doing that, as it makes me turn my eyes away from the video, a sample of what I am talking about is at 23:00 to 23:29. Thank you.
