Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for the past 25 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships, working for The Royal Obsession and Anatomie clothing. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as Parents & Kids Magazine and Girl Meets Strong. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
Not many places are worth journeying to the middle of nowhere. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and in this case, the exception is Ferguson’s! It’s both a country store and a restaurant – and it’s hard to say which half is better. The country store boasts two levels of great stuff, while the restaurant serves up a slew of home-style classics, including some of the state’s best cinnamon rolls.
Housed in a huge, rustic building right off Highway 65, Ferguson’s is pretty easy to find – despite being tucked away in the tiny town of Saint Joe.
A unique experience right from the start, the dining room is outfitted with solid oak tables and chairs, which were hand-crafted in the Ozark Mountains.
