Editor’s Note: The Farm House Store is now permanently closed.
There was once a time when every small town had its own general store, where locals would gather, socialize, eat, and shop. These stores were the heartbeat of the town, but they seem to be few and far between these days. Recently, one of these classic general stores has opened in the small river town of Cloverport and it may just be what every Kentucky town needs. The Farm House Store not only has everything you may want, but it also has everything you need in a one-stop-shop store and diner.
The town of Cloverport is located on the Ohio River in Western Kentucky and is filled with residents who love their town and want to see it thrive.
There's evidence of this in the success of a new general store in town, The Farm House Store.
The store began as a roadside stand that sold pies and other items and has grown into a town gathering spot.

The shop describes itself as a restaurant, hardware store, and retail store, and it's just as charming as it sounds. It has a little of everything and a lot of character.
Purchase a slice or order a whole pie or cake, and you can often choose from options like Coconut Cream Pie, Chocolate Meringue, Buttermilk Pie, Holy Cow Cake, and many more.
As any good general store should be, The Farm House Store has become the town's gathering spot for social events and special activities.
It seems that both the store and the local residents needed this nostalgic, yet brand new, general store that's now a beloved destination in Western Kentucky.
The Farm House Store has been embraced by the town of Cloverport, and you can see why. It’s safe to say the locals in the area – and anyone else who stops by for a visit – will discover that this new general store is exactly what they needed. Have you visited The Farm House Store yet?
