The Saxapahaw General Store as it now exists began in June 2008 when Jeff Barney, butcher, and self-taught chef, and Cameron Ratliff, teacher, and self-taught biscuit maker, worked with former owner and mill town visionary Mac Jordan to begin a new life for the convenience store and gas station that had served the community for several years. They imagined a spot where a village could gather for food, drink, and provisions, run by folks whose varied backgrounds have each taught them they can influence their world by collaborating with their neighbors. They hoped to serve the residents of Saxapahaw with a range of products that could allow everyone to feel welcome.
