Is it too much to drive from Sacramento to Nevada City just to hit up a tiny grocery store?…read more Probably. But if it wasn't, I would do all my shopping at Mother Truckers. While camping at Molokoff Diggins Park, we realized we'd forgotten a few things. We asked the Ranger where the nearest store was, and he directed us to a little market up the road. When we arrived... it was not exactly what we were looking for. Sure, they had the basics, but nothing that warranted the price, and also no ice. This was a problem. So we asked where the next closest store was, and we were directed to Mother Truckers. "It's an old hippie stop but they probably have ice," was the description we received. Okay.... After a short drive up the road, we arrived. Nothing special from the outside, and it definitely looked like the hippie stop we were told. When we walked inside, and my life changed forever. Organic produce and freshly baked cinnamon rolls greeted us, along with a selection of gluten free breads. As we looked further, we realized we were in the world's smallest Whole Foods Market, with tiny prices to match! There is an excellent selection of beer, organic produce (seriously, have you ever seen a sunchoke? I have now!), bulk foods of every variety (garma masala, anyone?), chocolate bars from around the world, a wide dairy selection including almond milk, and a million other things you didn't know you needed. They even fit a healthcare aisle and a clearance section! I was in heaven. I was ready to move my tent and just pitch it right outside. Cooler heads prevailed, however, and after taking a thorough tour of every aisle of the market, we picked out some goodies and headed back to camp. I grabbed veggie chips (the kind that are actual dried veggies), a Kombucha, and some almond milk for the morning. And of course ice. The next day, we came up again just to snag a few more treats. I can't believe the awesome selection of high-quality food at such great prices. What a find! We will be back for sure. :)

I'm here to say the only bad one star review from I dunno who, but not listed as from DF should be ignored. ABE has been the only owner I have ever known in the past 18 years - he is dedicated to this town, to this community. The pricing is posted and more than fair - he is here rain shine or massive snow. If power is out he is STILL here to serve our community and he is well loved throughout. If you're ever lucky enough to see Dutch Flat and shop in this circa 1800's Trading Post - you will savor the experience, this little store and this historic town. 5-star all the way!

In fact, I hereby decree that on your way to Reno or Tahoe, you are required to stop by Dutch Flat Trading Post and support the most important local business in town, Abe's. WE LOVE YOU ABE!!!!!!

Any time I have ever needed something in a pinch and didn't want to drive all the way to town for it, this store had what I needed to get me by. They have a fair selection of fresh dairy & meats, and some produce. I find the reviewer who claims to have found moldy meat here hard to believe. The meat sold in Bigley's is not only fresh but also local, and probably better for you than any of the processed garbage meat you could buy at the supermarket. No there's not ALOT of stuff here, but c'mon, people... it's a SMALL store in a small town! If you want a supermarket then stay off the ridge!

They feature gourmet food items set in delightful surroundings. They also offer freshly prepared sandwiches and more. Alas, we had just come from a big breakfast nearby, so I wasn't hungry. I did purchase several items and had a short chat with the shopkeeper. Just being in the bright, beautifully merchandised space made me feel happy. It contributed to my vacation state of mind, too. Can't wait to try the special garlic blend I purchased there. I definitely wish that they were located closer to us. I'd be stopping in to Garnish very frequently if they were nearby. The whole vibe goes well with a historic building setting. I could see this shop fitting in really well in downtown Ventura or Santa Barbara. They are relatively new in Nevada City, and I wish them all the best. Check out the photos to get a feel for how lovely this shop is visually.

They also charge a 5% tax for Covid-19 Employee Hazard Pay. You can opt out if you happen to read their little sign by the register and know about it but they conveniently don't mention it while making the payment......like literally every other single donation based program does. So it's basically a surprise tax that you either just deal with afterwards or look petty asking for it back because it takes it away from the employees. How about just pay your employees more money because you're a grocery store that clearly makes good profit? And maybe a tip jar so people can do so at their leisure? Does all that 5% really actually even go to employees? Certainly won't be shopping here again. Shame cause they actually h e some nice stuff that I didn't see in the other stores.
