Boy, was I wrong! I went in early June 2026. We lingered around the garden seeds, canning supplies, bulk meats. There were so many grocery items on sale that are not featured in their flyers! Oh, and since June is National Dairy Month, we were treated to a free soft serve cone. The staff is helpful and efficient. Next trip I hope to enjoy lunch there. See you in 2027.

Spacious More room to walk inside Lunch prime time maybe 12:45 ish Small serve your self and pay by the lb 12/lb plus drink think bishops with not much to choose from Pepsi products for fountain drinks And coffee Smoked chicken, meatloaf, cheesy mashed potatoes, green beans They were out of noodles.... 25 bucks for two for a basic one trip thing Meatloaf was good green beans were ok Mashed potatoes were ok Chicken had a different taste might to have been oak smoked or an exotic wood.. I am spoiled as a chef lol The chicken was ok... No free ice cream they wanted a buck for cup or cone. It was ok on the food... but we drove past a few places that would to have been same price for 2x the food. Off to shopping More room for folks Hard to find some of the specials And out and out bait and switch on the Nathen's hot dog deal the add listed the plain all beef and what was in the store was the ultra spicy ones... That was my main reason for the trip as 99 cents per lb would have been good for a winter stock up item... They did have the biscuits as box of 100 for 20 bucks And bulk fish triangles for 1.99 a lb And Heinz close dated ketchup 44 oz for 2.99 So not a total bust I might be back if I get more freezer space But I do almost as good in west of Bloomfield at Hwy 2 discount

The negative is the awful service that made me rethink driving an hour and a half next time I am in the area. I first called because I was told that they may have Amish Bakery items to make sure they did before I drove over. The lady who answered said they did. I asked if they had brownies thinking she would know what they sale and I got a sigh, hang on. She returned and told me what they had. I drove over to the store expecting them to be busy as annoyed as the lady seemed to be to check on what items they had in stock and was shocked to see 1 person in the store. The face to face service wasn't any better. I think the only things said were, did you need anything else, and my total. Even after thanking HER and wishing her a nice day, I just got an uh huh.
