Best cured & smoked ham I've ever had! So glad we stumbled on this place after hiking the state…read morepark hiking club trail. Best Easter ham ever! Beef muscle jerky is up near the best. Ring bologna had too much moisture (too much pork?) for my liking but flavor was very good. . NOTE - they give great instructions for cooking the ham but I used two internal meat thermometers to monitor internal temps while cooking in the oven at 350. Just remember that these are "guidelines" & you must put some liquid in a roaster pan, insert your temp probes, then seal roaster tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 til IT of 155 degrees. When the ham hit 155 IT, I shut the oven off and just let the ham sit in there, sealed, until it's time to eat. Monitoring your internal temps still of course. Mine ended up reaching 178 degreees IT by the time we ate. The ham is perfectly moist and bursting with great flavor, it wasn't the slightest bit dry.

I asked 'what screams 'Golden Fig' such that is will create a unique gift for a special foodie person. They recommended the hot chocolate mix and spices as they create both in house and are unique to their store. There are several options for each and I chose one chocolate and some homemade marshmallows to accompany and several slices that reminded me of far away travels. So fun. I had a ton of fun perusing the store. There were so many things to look at. Lots of holiday options but also a few staples if you just need a local grocer. Parking is on street but I found a spot right in front. Great experience.

They have all the spices I could think of, as well as their own seasoning mixes for chili, spaghetti, and vegetarian chicken broth. They carry dried fruits, ghee, and locally produced butter, honey, and grass fed organic beef. I believe almost everything they have is non-GMO if not organic. They will gladly tell you what is what, and why. The ladies that run it are very nice and extremely knowledgeable. They can help you make choices that won't disagree with your dietary issues. Not knowing much about lentils, I told her I wanted just enough green and brown lentils to make two batches of soup and in 20 seconds she had them for me in two small baggies. I even got to sample some of the dried fruit and vegetarian bacon bits. They're located on a small street that gets very little traffic. There's plenty of room to park on the street, but you could probably just park right in the street and no one would notice. I believe they are only open Thurs - Sat, but if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed.

I can't recall seeing any; however, I'm sure there were some buried in there somewhere... The center island was most appealing to me for it's mountain of salt water taffy in all sorts of flavors. $5.49/lb. The woman working affirmed that I was free to sample as I wished. So I began sampling taffy flavors, beginning with honey. The woman said that vanilla is her favorite, so I tried the vanilla as well. Both the honey and the vanilla flavors were very good. I sampled a few other flavors and was satisfied. Sold. I left there with a pound of salt water taffy in hand.
