I always try to get to this place as soon as I canāconsidering they have phenomenal groceries for sale!
They always have good milk. Whether youāre the raw milk or pasteurized milk kind of person, they have it! Theyāre raw milk is usually good for a week to 9 days, so you may or may not want it from there. Their pasteurized milk comes from Maplehofe Dairy, so Iād say that quality speaks for itself! Theyāre raw cheese is exceptional as well! Our favorites are the regular cheddar, havarti, and Buffalo cheddar!
They have DELICIOUS meats from local farms. My favorites are the beef cubes, ground beef, and one of the steaks (I donāt remember which one I had). Their pork loin is amazing as well! You have to be quick because when itās gone, itās gone until delivery day!
Their produce is great, too. While I donāt get everything there, they have a wonderful selection of fruits and vegetables, most of which is locally grown. I love taking my kids there to get apples when itās too cold for picking in the fall! Thereās always good options for root veggies, too!
They have a large pastry selection, lots of honey, packaged bulk candy and dried food, and some deli meats and cheeses, and even premade meals and deli sandwiches. There are jams, jellies, chips, coffee, and ice cream (also Maplehofe, but I believe this is under the name Leibyās). Iced teas, Boylan sodas, and little drinks like that.
Plants galore outside. Christmas trees when itās Christmas time. Lovely flowers if youāre a gardener. Honestly, itās small place with many good options. Stop in and support local farms, businesses, and especially this...

From delicious local cheeses and dairy products to take and bake meals (yum),store made subs and sandwiches, packaged deli meats to the wide selections of fruits and produce, there is something for everyone's taste. Outside of the store there is always a good variety of seasonal items just begging for a ride home in your car. The staff are always cheerful and they genuinely seem happy to work there, and that speaks volumes about any business. I recommend Mecks to all, stop in...
