A year went by and we are back at our favorite "farm" store; Tomato House. Ofcourse we get a full…read morebucket/box of "deer" apples, we see plenty of deer in the Lake Lanier area. But we also come to find that special gift or soda or hot/spicy sauce and let's not forget the multitude of jarred pickles and chutney and fruit preserves and best of all the half sliced Georgia peaches. We did not order from the sandwich shop this time, but we know they are great. Tomato House labeled products are a must to bring home. We are again very happy to stop and shop at the Tomato House.

They carry my milks, which are Silk, original, unsweet, and organic half-and-half, and A2 , Great frozen section with $4.99 thin crust pizzas . ! Overall, the store is super clean smells good. The isles are wide ... the produce is super fresh and vibrant looking. I found everything I needed. I read the ingredients on the Food Lion products - bottles for mustard and for the jelly and other ingredients and they literally had better ingredients and fewer ingredients in the Food Lion products than in major brands so we're gonna give them a first time try. This store is like a small Publix or Ingels but much better prices . I bought many of the items on special and saved a lot of money . They offer grocery pickup and everyone looked happy !

There is not one grocery store that you can go to around here that has all you need. Each store has…read moreits place whether you want to find some vegetables, meat, dairy, or packaged national brand stuff. Once you learn which of those that Aldi carries and which it does not then you can make Aldi your primary shopping location. For value you are not going to do better locally, some other places have the same items at literally double the price. The Aldi store brands can be hit and miss. The chips and candies are always hitting with some good taste and low prices. Some of the sauces are kind of bland which you don't know until you try and then maybe forget next time. All of the breads are at least good or better. The bagels are the best store bagels going and it is not even close. Except for the Hawaiian bagels, because why is there pineapple in a bagel? There are a couple downsides to shopping here. First, I don't know what is going on with stocking but sometimes the thing you want is just an empty space on the shelf. That doesn't happen all that often for my goods but when it does it is a bummer. The other downside is that for many items they are one and done. Find something you like, say the air fryer cheese curds. Those were good and I hope they bring them back. Those little turkey breasts are pretty good and for $10 you can get a few meals out of them. I recommend shopping at Aldi, and don't forget your Aldi quarter!

We stumbled upon this wonderful shop while walking around historic Dahlonega square. The store…read moreassociate was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We let her know our preferences and what types of food we cook, and she made great suggestions. We sampled several oils and vinegars and decided on the following: Honey ginger white balsamic vinegar Toasted sesame oil (specialty oil) Black truffle oil (specialty oil) We also purchased a few bottle pour spouts to go with the oils. We've used the oils many times and love all of them! The oils and vinegar are great for stir fry, fish, salads, and more. We try to incorporate them in as many dishes as we can. Fortunately for us, most of their oils and vinegars are available for purchase and shipping on their site for when we run out!

Honestly, I walked into this store just off of Main St because I was curious about what different…read moreolive oils and balsamic vinegars tasted like. This store is very clean. The employee and few customers that were there when I was in the store all wore facemasks. The friendly employee was very knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting some olive oils and balsamic vinegars after I let her know what kinds of flavors I preferred (hot, sweet, sour, etc.), and foods that I enjoy. I sampled a couple of balsamic vinegars, but didn't really care for any of them. I guess it's because they had strong flavors and I really need to taste them with foods, but I didn't want to buy some vinegars and find out that the flavors overpowered the food. The olive oils were different, though. I sampled about seven different olive oils - fruity, spicy, herb-y, etc., and I thought most of them were flavors that I could get into. I ended up buying two bottles: one bottle of wild anithos dill infused olive oil, and one bottle of Baklouti green chile pepper fused olive oil. I add just a little of the chile pepper olive oil to the ramen that I make at home. The Baklouti green chile pepper fused olive oil adds a hot spicy kick to anything it's added to. The wild anithos dill infused olive oil goes great with roasted potatoes or baked salmon. The dill flavor also goes a long way. I tend to like strong and bold flavors, but there are also olive oils that are a little more subtle. When you've selected the balsamic vinegar or olive oil you'd like to buy, the employee will fill a bottle right there in front of you from the big containers. The bottles are preprinted with the appropriate balsamic vinegar or olive oil name, so you won't get confused as to what's in the bottle. The employee will seal the bottle, so it's perfect for gift giving. I saw other flavors that I'd like to try the next time I'm in Dahlonega. I know I will buy more in the future. Oh ... they also sell their products online, too.

Used to love this place before it was bought out by the House Of Jerky chain. Unfortunately, my…read morefavorite jerky, which was the Carolina reaper, no longer lives up to its name. The JC River is brand that used to be sold at the store had a very good kick and good aftertaste. The new House brand of jerky doesn't have near the hotness and can be hit or miss depending on each bite. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to have to start ordering from JC Rivers directly. Too bad, as I really look forward to visiting this store every time we went to Dahlonega. Keep in mind that this is only my opinion of the one jerky that I bought from them.
