Did you know...?

Yoder’s Country Market is one mile west of Hwy. 62, which is part of North Carolina’s beautiful Colonial Heritage Scenic Byway. 

According to the NC Department of Transportation, this byway begins in Guilford County in Monticello, and continues on N.C. 150 East through Williamsburg and Locust Hill.  About 1.5 miles past Locust Hill, turn right onto U.S. 158 and continue for about five miles until it meets with the Yanceyville town limits. Established in 1791 as the Caswell Court House, the name was changed in 1833 to honor then N.C. legislator Bartlett Yancey. In the town of Yanceyville, turn right onto Main Street (S.R. 1163). Continue on Main Street until it intersects with N.C. 62. Turn left onto N.C. 62 to continue on the byway. 

While traveling north on N.C. 62, look for many older houses and barns dating back to the 1800s.  About 6 miles up on N.C. 62, look for the Yoder's Country Market sign on your left.  Turn on Blanch Road and Yoder's is one mile down, on your right. 

After finishing your shopping experience at Yoder’s, get back on N.C. 62 to continue your tour of the byway, turning right at the traffic light at N.C. 57.  This will take you through the town of Milton -- drive slowly and notice the architecture and buildings of the 19th century. Be sure to visit Aunt Millie’s for lunch (home of the best pizza and banana splits around) and then take a walking tour of downtown Milton ("the museum without walls"). Browse the antique shops and tour the Thomas Day House (Union Tavern).

Then finish your drive of the Colonial Heritage Scenic Byway by following N.C. 57 south towards Semora.  Take N.C. 119 south at Semora before turning right again onto Stephentown Rd. (SR 1564).  Follow SR 1564 for 6 miles before turning right onto US 158.  After two miles, turn left onto N.C. 86 and travel south for about 24 miles and get a glimpse of Piedmont dairy farms and rural life.
