I stopped by Josh's Jungle/The Process to try to find some pickled dill pickles. I didn't know just how satisfied I would be with my visit.
The Process is a store in Huntertown (It does have a Fort Wayne address) that has homemade, canned jams, jellies, peppers, honey, syrup, salsas, pickles and so much more. I love spicy stuff and Josh has options for all heat levels. He carries regular flavored , jalapeno, reaper, and ghost pepper choices for most everything. He also has hot sauces, and canned green beans available to try.
In the spring, the tables are covered with vegetable and herb starts, along with many flower and hanging baskets.
All along the sides of the selling space are products from vendors at the YLNI Farmers market. That is the one on Berry Street in the old bun candy factory. Some of the extra items include, kombucha on tap, Country Roads coffee, Moo over ice cream, fresh baked bread, Rowdy Rooster meats for charcuterie boards, sauerkraut, kimchi, bee pollen, some fresh meat, and fresh eggs including duck, chicken and quail. By the front door, there's a nice display of fudge, taffy and gummies from Old World Fudge.
I'm still working through my jalapeno dill pickles. They have been excellent so far. I'm going to have to get something a little hotter next time.
The address is 14547 Lima Road. It's a little funky to get to, as this is where Lima Road and highway 3 on the way to Kendallville splits up. You have to turn off regular Lima Road at the stop light and then down the hill into the parking lot. My last picture is a Google maps shot with the building circled.
If you don't want to go all the way to Huntertown, you can also visit Josh at the YLNI Farmers market any Saturday morning.
If you haven't visited the store, it's absolutely worth it for some jalapeno jam or fresh dill pickles.

Read moreIt’s such a gift to have a local grocery store like this one—especially when you can’t always make it to the farmers market during the week. Josh has done an incredible job curating a space that truly feels like a midweek market.
The produce is always fresh and beautifully displayed, and the selection of locally made goodies is unmatched. From Moo-Over’s amazing ice cream (don’t skip the cinnamon rolls or baked goods—they’re incredible!) to delicious coffees from Country Roads and refreshing drinks from Lunar Infusions, there’s always something special to find.
I love being able to support local makers and get high-quality, fresh items all in one place. Highly recommend stopping in—whether you’re after veggies, treats, or a taste of the community, this...
Read moreI love shopping at The Process and feel very lucky to have this mortar and brick "farmers market" near my Huntertown neighborhood. To be able to buy fresh produce Spring thru Fall, and local eggs, milk, chicken and ground meat all year is such a blessing! The jams are amazing as well. I will choose The Process over gigantic grocery...
