Nates Bait & Market sits right here in Franklin, Virginia. It’s our home base, and most mornings you’ll see regulars stopping by for coffee, bait, or a loaf of bread before heading out. But we don’t just serve Franklin—folks come in from the back roads, nearby towns, and even across county lines. It’s not unusual to see a truck from Boykins parked next to a car from Suffolk, both grabbing worms or hoop cheese before heading their separate ways. That’s the way country markets work: you don’t have to live on the same street to feel welcome.
