Love this place!! Amish cheeses, fresh baked breads and vine ripe tomatoes & other produce. Goods made by the Amish community in Ohio. Furniture from Mennonites in MO. plus other great stuff Capt. Richard Gatewood finds from all over. Lots of cool stuff here!!!
This is a super cool store with something for most people. My sons loves the cheese and butter. I like the fresh baked bread and the raw local honeys and some of the artisan items are hard to pass on. There's so much going on here from the small glass baseball refrigerator magnets to the 8 foot concrete painted alligator to the cheese curds and the vine ripe tomatoes. They have a truly eclectic selection of, how did they used to say it in the good old days, goods and wares. What got my attention initially was the homemade goods like the jams, jellies, relishes, 40 types of cheeses and Amish butter and it keeps me coming back for more.
This place actually reminds me of a cross between an old country stores in Appalachia and a roadside stand in Amish country Pennsyavania with hand crafted furniture and lawn ornaments and shelves full of canned pepers and chow chow. It's just plain cool!!
They don't have a website that I can finfld but there's a Facebook page at:wew.facebook.com/captainsamishstore/
