Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. I always find new cheeses to try. Hard pressed not to spend a bunch of money on fancy cheese, every time. They have a wide selection of soda, wine, alcohol, and non-alcoholic drinks. They also serve soups sometimes. Stop in, I'm sure you will find something new and unique to try.

My boyfriend and I loved this place. We stopped while on a camping trip to get some snacks. I was very impressed with the selections and they even had a n/a section in their alcohol section. They had some beautiful plants that Derek (Wolf Grove Plants) at the store pots. I dont have a green thumb but Im now motivated because I cant let Derek down. Such a great experience. We will be back when we going camping. Sheila, you do a great job!
