Darden’s Country Store & Smokehouse

This classic country store and smokehouse has been in operation since 1952 and is still run as a family business. Visitors and shoppers can peruse hanging hams, side meat, country cheese, barbecue and peanuts. Call ahead, and if the Darden’s are available, they will give you a tour of their smokehouse where they have been salt-curing and smoking hams for over 60 years, using the same method that’s been around since the colonial era.
