This Amish-owned general store is a real convenience, out in the middle-of-nowhere-Orleans-county…read morearea. It is a general store in every sense of that concept--they generally have a little bit of everything. Absolutely no food or beverages, not even gum or a soda case. But you'll find a bit of everything else, including ...
** Lots of fabrics, notions, and sewing supplies; bolts of fabric are cut-to-size for whatever length you need
** Cards, stationary, and a small assortment of books (mostly religious)
** Decorative glassware and knick-knacks
** General kitchen items (cookware, utensils, canning supplies)
** Grill and picnic supplies
** A few small electrics, like fans and light strings
** Small clothing section with mostly knits, sweats, and Amish hats
** Candles and candle holders
** Many natural soaps, lotions, and supplements
** Cleaning supplies and household paper products
** Garden and outdoor supplies, and some tools
** Toys and games
** Office supplies
... but definitely not limited to just that, you'll surely find more. Prices are very fair. I needed a couple basic plastic mixing bowls, and grabbed them here for $1.10 a piece. I also got some fly catcher strips for 5/$1, and a fork/whisk hybrid called a Fiskie for about three bucks. I'm eyeing a nice Chinese Checkers metal tin set, that was about $11. Next time, it will be mine!
Attached to this same building is Lake Breeze Bicycle, a small bicycle shop in the basement of the general store, with its own separate entrance out back. I'll write a review for that portion of the business separately, but as a sneak-peek, it's a handy, well-priced store too.
During COVID times, all other customers were masked and doing our best to stay distanced in the small store. The Amish women I've seen working at the register and fabric cutting area have been masked, too. It appreciate, even way out here in the sticks, folks still doing their part to help end this pandemic.
If you find yourself in this part of Orleans county, and either want to browse for nothing in particular, or look for something in particular, chances are you may find it here at J C Miller General Store. And it will likely be a good deal!
