South Slope Cheese deserves more starts than Yelp will allow...and I've never set foot inside the…read moreshop. Let me explain: A friend was celebrating a milestone birthday and spending the weekend in Asheville. We thought of so many different things we could do to celebrate from afar, but nothing felt "milestone"...it felt ordinary. Until, in a search, I ran across South Slope Cheese. Not only did we arrange for the delivery of an amazing cheese board to my friend's hotel, they went the extra mile when they learned my friend is vegan. They called, asked questions all around my friend's preferences, even worked with the hotel to make sure the delivery was kept in the right spot waiting for my friend's check in. All reports of the surprise pointed to every single bit of special and delicious was absolutely wonderful. Every cheese was delicious...and my friend didn't even realize all of the cheese options on the tray were totally vegan!!!! She was crying when she realized just how much care South Slope Cheese put into making this truly a treat for HER. The extra time and care they took really telegraphed to me that they not only care about their customers and the experience...but about the cheese! I may NEVER set foot in this wonderful shop because I don't live in the area, but I will ALWAYS recommend and praise this wonderful business.

I always love the jams and mustards that are paired with a board, and Looking Glass' did not disappoint. The cider was also yummy! I got the blood orange one, which was nicely flavored and light. My husband got the bourbon aged cider, and it was also very good! I liked it more than I thought I would for not being a bourbon lover. The service was so friendly the kindest people! We came with two other couples, and it was such a fun spot to chat, eat, and drink! Really loved it.

I do NOT eat bologna, but my partner "snuck" a piece in my mouth without telling me what it was....I could have sworn it was high quality ham! OMG! The smoked ham was wonderful, as was the salami too. Got some andouille sausage which we had last night....oh so YUM We also had lunch there. I had their chili, really well made, lots of meat n veggies. Flavor was mild, but nice variety of hot sauces on tables allowed one to vary heat/flavor according to ones taste. I abhor chili with excessive green pepper, but HNG's was spot on. J had the hot dog which, like their bologna, was superb. Also discovered Smokin J's chipotle hot sauce, really nice flavor with medium heat, got a bottle for home. We'll be heading there again soon! And yes, HNG has both a deli counter and small cafe in the primary building, first one you come to on left of driveway.

Took my grandbaby here years ago and it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever…read morehad. Thankfully, she was too young to understand how bad it was; filthy dirty farm, supposedly a working farm where people buy meat? I don't eat meat but if I did I wouldn't buy it there. Their baby chickens were kept in the most horrendously filthy dirty condition; super crowded together, and a lot of the playground equipment looked like it hadn't been maintained properly in years. Granted this happened around 2017 so things could have changed a lot by now but I wouldn't know since I never went back. I want to vote for you Jamie but good God clean this up. You graduated from Warren Wilson right? Didn't they teach you godliness is next to cleanliness?

We stopped here on the way back to Florida (coming from Sugar Mountain). This is about as fresh as…read moreyou can get. Here are some of the things i purchased here: Mild Cheddar Block - Not really all that mild, I'd call it medium, but very good Pepper Jack cheese block - Way to mild for my taste, it should be alot more spicy, this block was insanely fresh Bacon/Ranch Cheese spread - I really enjoyed this one, tasted great Cucumbers - I don't eat these but my wife said they were good. Ground beef patties - This didn't taste particularly special, but it's nice to know its healthier beef I also picked up some ground pork but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. If you're driving by on the weekend, you have to stop by this place and pick something up. You'll be glad you did.

The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about the family run business. All the cheese products and meat available are in the multiple refrigerators, plus there are tons of other snacks, goodies, a gift ideas all around the store. There is plenty of gravel parking spots. We absolutely loved there cheddar which was mild and easy to pair, but we think the Gouda is our favorite. We got some bagel chips to go with our garlic spread to snack on. Definitely worth coming if you are in the area.

They have a wonderful selection of cheeses, sausages, candy, wine, and all kinds of other goodies and they make the cheese across the street. I love stopping at places like this, but I hadn't really planned ahead. I didn't bring an insulated bag or ice packs, so I wasn't sure how I was going to get any cheese home. Fortunately, the staff was very friendly and helpful. When I mentioned my dilemma, they let me know that they sold insulated bags and ice packs. Problem solved! Of course, now that I had a way to get everything home, I ended up buying more than I originally intended! My only complaint is that I wish they had more samples available. With so many different cheeses to choose from, I would have loved to try a few more. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. It's a fun place to browse, and if you're anything like me, you'll probably leave with more than you planned on buying!

I heard about this place from some friends years ago and regularly frequented for the killer deli sandwiches and old world bakery. Back then it was called Troyer's but recently went back and the entire shopping/dining experience has been elevated in the best of ways!!!! I was greeted immediately when I walked in by a super sweet couple rocking out the incredible sandwiches! I found out they had been making the Troyer's sandwiches for years which was so cool. Come to find out they now have beef, pork, lamb & chicken for sale grown right on the same property! I grilled a ribeye that next day and the flavor was on par with anything from the chop shop! I also found out they have a CSA that delivers right to my home which makes for least waste and need to use the corporate grocery store so often. The grocery section has so many options from dry goods to locally made products they have you covered. I picked up goats milk soap, spicy pickles, champagne mustard, old world candy, and an amazing soup my family loved. The oatmeal crème pie is by far the best dessert after an amazing sandwich I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. I also grabbed a loaf of fresh baked and it was to die for! The front porch is pet friendly and I really enjoyed the ambiance with birds chirping and laughter from the 10 local fireman all enjoying the same vibe!
