🚨 Policy Change — One order. $250 wasted.

Today, a large phone order was placed and never picked up. That meant our team spent time preparing over $250 worth of fresh food, time and attention that could have gone to other customers only for it to be thrown away.

Our staff works incredibly hard, and moments like this don’t just hurt our bottom line they impact our ability to serve everyone efficiently.

Because of this, effective immediately, all phone orders over $50 will require full payment at the time the order is placed.

We don’t make changes like this lightly, but it only takes one situation like today to force our hand.

We appreciate the many customers who respect our time, our team, and our work. Thank you for understanding and continuing to support a small business that truly cares 🤍

To Our Loyal Customers,

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you. ❤️
Your continued support over the years means more than we can ever express. Because of you, The Starving Squirrel has been able to grow, serve, and stay rooted in this beautiful Appalachian community we call home.

Every order, every kind word, every shared post helps more than you know. Supporting local doesn’t just keep doors open—it keeps neighbors working, families thriving, and our community strong.

We’re proud to be a small business, and even prouder to be part of a town that believes in each other. Here’s to many more years of good food, good company, and Appalachian grit.

With gratitude,
The Starving Squirrel Team 🐿️

The Starving Squirrel Will Be Closed for Memorial Day

In honor of Memorial Day, The Starving Squirrel will be closed on Monday, May 26, 2025. We’ll reopen and look forward to seeing our wonderful customers on Tuesday, May 27th.

As we take this day to rest, we also pause to remember and honor the brave men and women of the U.S. military who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason for this solemn day, and we are deeply grateful.

Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you a meaningful Memorial Day.
