Chamber Spotlight: Yoder's Homestead Market

What began in the early 2000s as a way to serve the public for the Yoder family, Yoder's Homestead Market has become a staple to many in our community and beyond. The Yoder's two daughters love to bake and fix completely home made foods and serve it with joy. Inspired by the desire to testify of God's hope that lives within and tidbits of wisdom imparted to her throughout the years, Mrs. Fannie Yoder greets every customer with such. She enjoys sharing that same hope and wisdom along with her homemade baked goods, fresh cheeses, deli sandwiches, handmade candy, jellies and a variety of canned delicacies with both life long residents and new neighbors alike.

The novelty of true 'fresh' baked; breads, cakes, and treats delights those who enter her store each day, especially those relocating from out of state to our little hamlet. Having successfully navigated yet another Oktoberfest with the help of family members who trek in from Virginia and Kentucky each year, Fannie is thankful to have a bit more time now for her favorite pastimes: tending her garden, reading and the best-loved game of Scrabble with her husband. When asked for a tip she could share, she replied "always look for the good in people, don't argue with your customers...give them the benefit of the doubt and finally and try to send them on their way having had a happy experience."
