Love this neighborhood market downtown Stillwater. Right amongst all the great shops and…read morerestaurants. It's a mainstay, lots of grab and go items, bakery, smaller grocery market, full of organic and fresh salads, sandwiches, soups, etc. Great place to pickup some items before heading down to the river for a picnic. You can also eat on a patio in the back they have tables available. I got the Italian sandwich, it was delicious, fresh Italian meat selection, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, oil and vinegar. Yum! Picked up some chips and a freshly made pumpkin muffin and walked down to the river. At checkout they were rounding up for the local library, which I love, support local!

First timer to the local market in this quaint neighborhood. Obviously this is family owned and a…read moresmall business and if you know me...I prefer to support small businesses. They have a deli counter in the back and even make fresh sandwiches! (No gfree options by the look of it) I ran in on this particular day to grab some milk since it was on my way home vs. diverting completely from my route. I was politely greeted by some associates who opened the door for me and asked me if I needed any help. I did a little checking out of the aisles but grabbed my milk, an apple, an energy drink (for the hubby) and a little snack. One thing to note is that they don't have lottery or scratch offs. No biggie. Also...Some things can be priced a bit more expensive than a "normal" grocery store but that's to be expected for the convenience. Ex ben & Jerry's a pint is roughly $8.49. If you're looking for a cute place to quickly grab a grocery item - this is your place.

I drove by here, not my usual Stillwater route. I ran out of frozen brats. A nice variety. I got…read moreblueberry wild rice, Len's original, apple, and a beer and cheddar. They come in a 4 pack.

My husband will work in Stillwater every now and then and stop here to grab some steak or brats but…read morewe've been here a few times together now and I can safely say it is in my top three meat markets! Everyone is always so friendly, the cuts are always so fresh, and you can't really go wrong! We love getting their picanha and Billy brats if we want to grill out but truly you can't go wrong with any of their meats. It's nice because there's also a small cafe inside so if you're super hungry, you can grab a sandwich and some fixings to hold you over if it's a trek to get back home like it is for us. We'll be going on hiking trip in a few days and actually stopped in to get a pound of their beef jerky which we'll vacuum seal and take with us to snack on. Super great Smokey flavor, perfect snack to nibble on, and keeps super well!

They always have very unique items such as unique chips, candy and drinks! This trip I got clearly Canadian...where would you be able to find that drink? No where else. They also have gluten free bread which makes me a happy gal. Today I got a Rueben on gfree bread...delish! Don't walk but run to this local favorite in town!

This is a great Aldi store. They recently added 4 self check out lanes. This makes shopping here so…read moremuch faster. In, get goods, run through a self check out lane, pay with card, done. Easy and quick. Just like the last lady I was with. Twenty years ago. :) One complaint I have. Was at a different store and they had chicken thighs for 50 percent off. They were Freeze or Use by the following date. That was all I bought on this visit. Went to a cashier operated check out lane. I didn't get the 50 percent off. I had to tell cashier how much it should be. She quickly cancelled the sale to ring up my thighs with the 50 percent discount. How do I do get this discount at a self check out lane if it is not coded in the bar code that it is half off? I like Aldi for their meat prices. Produce is some times hit or miss. Pantry items, canned, jarred goods are always a good value. Marinara Sauce for example, I get for $1.45. I can add other seasonings at cook time to get it where I want flavor wise.

They have a choice of sandwiches for you to choose from or you can build your own. There are also multiple options for sides available.

We'll definitely stop back the next time we're in the area. The spotlight of our trip today was my interaction with Faith at the cash register. You can tell when someone really enjoys their job, and she was just that. Super friendly, welcoming, even service with a smile (which is rare these days). We love supporting local businesses and it is because of people just like Faith who enjoy interacting with the public that makes these experiences so memorable.

Pumpkins? YES! Corn maze? YES!…read more Goats? YES! Not my first time exploring this wonderful pumpkin patch, and garden farm. They have a wonderful and wide variety of pumpkins, gourds, etc. You can pick out pumpkins close to parking or trek with a wagon to the pumpkin patch. We checked out the patch and found 2 pumpkins we liked but it was also towards the end of the pumpkin season so the pumpkin options in the patch are limited but great for photo ops. They also gave a corn maze (free) near the patch and it literally took us less than 8 minutes to get out. My husband and kiddo are QUICK! They have a handful of goats where if you bring quarters you can get food to feed them. We did a bunch and the goats were hungry! And there is a water pump nearby to wash your hands. They also have 1 donkey. Lots of amazing photo opportunities near the main store, greenhouses and barn. The barn was playing the Spookly pumpkin movie. The barn is very cool. Check it out. We spent $40 for our 3 nice sized pumpkins + long yellow gourd like pumpkin and 4 mini gourds. The pumpkins are a little pricey but it's all about the experience. Happy Autumn!
