They have it. Habash brand spices? Tons. Halal butcher shop? Yep. Cadbury buttons, flakes, dairy milk, and milka? Yes. Tea? Of course. But following the Billy Mays mantra, "but wait! There's more!" There's a grill where you can get a massive shawarma or a decadent Dubai chocolate that runs a risk of instant diabetes. It's worth the risk. AND then the there's the baklava vault, which also has babousa and other desserts. The baklava is a must and there is a variety of it. Lastly the folks working there are super friendly and obliging. Shopping here is basically a small international trip and the mix is something special. Ironically a place like this is what makes America great. Do yourself a favor and visit this domestic exotic in Cedar Rapids.

There was dried fruit, some fresh veggies, three different dips/sauces. And separately packaged were several types of crackers. It was gorgeous!!!!! The large diverse variety of the meats and cheeses just couldn't be beat. I'd have pictures (it deserved pictures) but the ravenous hoard barely waited for it to be unwrapped before they were diving in. I was one of the ravenous hoard ;) Just perfect, highly highly recommend.

We've also seen a variety of new vendors including wine and kombucha! This weekend there was also live music. I very much recommend this market.

Set off a county highway in rural mount vernon, this place exudes all that is quintessential to the fall apple picking tradition. As I've seen other orchards become increasingly commercialized over the years, the Big Apple Orchard steadily plods along remaining true to form. 100% recommend.
