Stanley Produce Garden Center & Bakery — Local services in Johnson City

I was looking forward to 1st visit. I've heard great word & news always carries on & on about it. Not cleanest place let's overlook that. The generous amount of filling drew me in... That's the Worst 🎃 roll I ever ate much less bought. Probably should've been trashed. Hard & dry crust (not soft &or chewy) & something wrong w/ filling. There was no pecans or walnuts but that's fine. More like carrot cake glaze than sweet sour cream like filling. I got the sweats after eating a small slice. Then I started wondering about the housekeeping. 30mins later just grumbly stomach about all. Could just be hunger. I'll stop worrying about dying now. Fairly certain the insane amount of sugar that caused sweats. (diabetes beware!) It may have tasted great 1-2wks ago or at best bad recipe! 5$ per pound I expect way better! Sad thing is I'll probably not go back again. I would much rather give local than to big chain. There was a good selection of vegatables & plants. Tomatoes seemed on expensive side. Most were really ripe. 2-3$ lb depending. Some things should be marked down or thrown away. I will say idk what everyone raves about. Perhaps just fat people who are that way b/c they will eat any & everything..? If wrong I'll admit but that roll will haunt me! Seems to be a hoarding problem on premesis from farm to food... Something in air or just string...

We had an amazing experience! The guy who greeted us was unbelievably friendly and helpful. He went above and beyond, telling us about the in-house items they sell, like soups, fruitcake, key lime cake, carrot cake, banana bread, red velvet cake, pumpkin rolls and apple pie. He even encouraged us to sample any of the pimento cheeses — and let me tell you, they were incredible! My favorites were the jalapeño, jalapeño bacon and smoked Gouda. My husband enjoyed the Tennessee whiskey and smoked Gouda the most. Surprisingly, for someone who doesn’t usually like spicy foods, he enjoyed the bacon jalapeño cheese — and despite hating mayonnaise, he still liked these! So much so we walked out with the smoked Gouda!

They also sell farm fresh eggs, cured meats, Amish butter, Amish bacon, macaroni salad, and chicken salad. I noticed a sign for milk but didn’t see any on display (and forgot to ask). They even carry Stella Sourdough bread!

The tomato’s and apples looked fantastic! There’s also a great selection of nuts at very reasonable prices. They offer jars of honey, jams, maple syrup and various other jarred goodies.

All in all, a fantastic find with great products and even...

WOW!!!! Now here is a MUST STOP! Homemade pimento cheese, apple pies, cookies, sweets and cakes, tomatoes, cucumbers, apples 🍎, green beans, cantaloupe 🍈, flowers 💐 🌸 🌺 and so much more.
