"For pork lover, there's nothing quite as irresistible as the salty, savory pull of Virginia country ham. Whether it's to elevate mouth-watering ham sandwich, for pea and ham soup, or a good old-fashioned honey-glazed roast recipe, there's no shortage of quality cured pork in the Old Dominion State."
"While NoVa boasts a plethora of historical landmarks, award-winning restaurants, diverse hotel options, and a high concentration of breweries and wineries, the Northern Virginia markets have plenty to offer. Virginia-style ham, of course, is not in short supply."
"The Ole Country Store & Bakery, a more recent addition to the area, having been founded in 2009. This is another one of the best food markets in the U.S. for any serious ham enthusiast. It's considered an excellent Amish grocery to visit, with the reputation of an award-winning deli."
