Layne's Country Store

Ok so You are headed South on Hwy 81 and You are REALLY HUNGRY for some Fresh Local food. Get off exit 180b and turn north on hwy 11 (Lee Hwy) for 2 miles. You come to this really GREAT country store and deli. REAL Virginia ham sandwiches, real Amish jellies, jams, preserves, and pickled EVERYTHING( veggies, fruits, eggs!!!). A real old time type country store. Sells cutlery too. And even Spirits (Moonshine).
Your hunger will be gone your attitude for the good old days will be alive.

Outstanding stop on historic US 11 just a few miles south of Lexington. I don't usually start with a restroom review...but Layne's really has a "restroom" you won't want to leave. Please when you go to Layne's try the restroom, it will exceed your expectations. Hoop Cheese (a specialty of Layne's since 1954) is amazing..when they offer you a sample TAKE IT!

They have it all here, food, whole hams, complete deli, syrups, jams, home-made jelly, BBQ Sauces, beer, specialty wines, Moon Shine (the real hard stuff). Take it from me if you miss Layne's..then you've missed one of the highlights of your life. Ask to see Besty (better known as Sweet cream 💗💗) she's worth the trip. The real story behind this lovely respite is is that it was all made possible "because two people fell in love"

Really cute place, lots of homemade goodies!

Best hoop cheese reminds me of when I was 10 years old hard to find good cheese but they have it
And the people are wonderful. If you are near you must stop In.

Oh, what fun!!! Staff is kind, friendly, and very helpful. We purchased jams and syrups. They have so much, including cool gifts

Great country store. Has a wide selection of items. We buy their Boars Head Meats for a good price.

Always love it here, you can always find great little things. And Angie and Steve are the best owners..Always love seeing them when I come back through to my hometown

Awesome store! Moonshine and they have many gifts mostly American Made. The Ham sandwich is out of this world good! Dont leave without a ham sandwich 🤠very friendly folks!

A must visit. Great little country store with some really great items.

“Salt of the Earth & America’s Core Values”🤠🇺🇸

{Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Layne! —God bless you and your family! ❤}

We went here years ago and never forgot it. Now we live closer and will visit often. Old timey country store with an amazing choice of everything hand made.

This place is great!!! A ton of homemade products, lots of miscellaneous fun stuff, good looking produce and pumpkins, and they even sell moonshine!! I was on business, so couldn't taste test, but looking forward to a trip back on my own time. The sandwich I had for lunch was excellent.!

Cutest shop! That tons of yummy stuff such as homemade honey, seasonings, candy, ham, and moonshine. Definitely stop by for a sandwich made from their ham and hoop cheese, best sandwich I've had in a while and it really hit the spot. Would've posted a picture of the sandwich but I ate it pretty quickly! I'm excited to try the chocolate strawberry creamed honey and chocolate Caramel creamed honey!

This is an amazing place, family owned since 1954. We stopped for the moonshine but in addition, left with some jams and amazing spice blends. Very friendly and good selection of extraordinarily items.

Absolutely the neatest lil country store I've ever seen !! The best cheese cider and country ham you could ever imagine and down right friendly service. I would recommend this to the whole family and friends

Love old Country stores like this. Too bad there aren't many left around here. The man running the store was super nice and helpful.

Excellent service, amazing products, something for everyone. A hidden gem

We LOVE this place! The staff is very warm and welcoming. They stayed open a bit late to allow us time to shop around. There are so many unique products there, like flavored creamed honey and canned items, moonshine and snacks. We love the atmosphere, and could've spent a couple hours looking at all they have.

Great little family owned place with a great selection of eats and treats of days past. Includes a made to order deli sandwich selection(roast beef and turkey is my favorite). This place has a little of everything. Prices are average for a mom and pop operation but the service and smiling faces are priceless!

We had some free time after seeing the sites and I wanted to go here so badly. I had a brochure from the rest area and couldn’t wait to see what their store had to offer.
When we pulled up there was the cutest little fairy garden set up outside with the kindest elderly gentleman sitting in a rocking chair outside who gave a smile and a hello. I was already in love with the charm of the place. We went in and I knew we needed a basket. The smiling, friendly lady inside showed me where to find one and told me there were carts outside too. Welp-I ended up needing one of those instead!
There is so much to choose from! Everything looked amazing. Yummy looking jams, jelly, syrups, sauces, honey, candy and so much more! We ended up with several of the jams, some hot sauce, candy, syrup, honey, pickles and a few other treats. We couldn’t wait to get home and try it!
We got some gifts for Christmas too while we were there.
Well-we got home and immediately unpacked our box (yes-that’s right I said a box) of goodies. We got out some spoons and had a little taste test extravaganza. Everything was amazing! Well, except the pickles. Those were not good at all. But that’s one small jar in the huge box of stuff we got.
We are very happy knowing that they ship also! This is gonna come in handy when we run out of the banana jam and pumpkin butter. Omg. It is so good!!
The father and daughter working were awesome too! So friendly and helpful. When people talk about small town hospitality, these 2 folks are what they are talking about.
We were so happy that we stopped in here and will be sure to make it a regular stop any time we are in this area.
Take the time to stop in and see what they have to offer.
