The atmosphere of the Amish people driving horse and buggy, boys in suspenders and straw hats while girls wear their bonnets and traditional dresses, the courtesy the men show, clothing hanging on the clothesline, bare feet, fresh produce - I love it. We stopped by the grocery store to pick up baking supplies for cornbread, rhubarb jam, and butternut squash. Most products sold in the store are packed in bulk. It is such a wonderful experience to be amongst the Amish. Please be respectful.

It's so flavorful and tender that I honestly don't have the right words. And their bacon? OMG Every cut I've purchased has been fresh, beautifully prepared, and incredibly delicious. And the prices? More than fair. You truly feel like you're getting amazing quality without the inflated markup. Recently, I had a small mix-up with an order. I placed and paid for what I needed, and when I got home, I realized a large cut had accidentally been included that I hadn't ordered. I called right away, and the owner was so kind and flexible about having me bring it back (even though I live about 20 minutes away). When I returned, he didn't just "fix" the mistake. He went above and beyond. He refunded the $54 for the large cut and generously added additional packages of meat -- including more of what I had originally ordered. That kind of service is rare. It felt thoughtful. It felt personal. It felt like someone who truly cares about his customers. The assistant was also helpful and kind -- you can tell this place operates with integrity from top to bottom. Exceptional quality. Affordable pricing. And service that genuinely exceeds expectations. I will absolutely continue supporting this business -- and recommending it to anyone who values both flavor and heart.

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
