After hearing about it from my brother, my wife and I went to Ellsworth this weekend. We live in Millard and had never heard of the store. In fact, we thought it was new. What a cool little store. We walked in and immediately were greeted by someone saying “hi” from the register. We started looking at some frozen meats, and within a minute, one of the owners approached us and greeted us in person. They told us all about the history of the store and where we could find different products. That is beyond cool, and that made us customers right there. These are local products by local farmers.
There was a great restaurant in Benson. They served Plum Creek Farms chicken. OMG, that was good. To our surprise, they had it at Ellsworth. Nebraska meats, eggs, ice cream, frozen pizzas, you name it. This is not a huge store by any means, but we can tell from the service and different things they do that it is mighty.

All of their vendors for the store provide top notch products. It’s a win-win for everyone because by shopping at EC you support a local business owned by a great family, whose entire business model is built on supporting other local families and...
   Read moreLove this store! Many unique food products and a superior quality from what you find in the supermarkets. It confirms why local business is so important to our communities. I live by downtown Omaha and every trip is well worth the drive! Fresh milk and eggs, even fresh lettuce and microgreens, and I get a whole chicken each time I go! Who can beat that?!! And of course, you can never go without a trip to the handmade goods in the back of the store!! :) I cant stop telling people about it! Just brought my daughter's aunt last week and she...
