Where would you expect to find the best bakery in West Virginia? According to a competition hosted in 2022 by West Virginia Living, at least, you’ll find West Virginia’s best bakery (and West Virginia’s best place to work) inside a unique little general store and farmers market known as Wardensville Garden Market in (you guessed it!) Wardensville, West Virginia.
