Always love finding local quality food in small towns and Driftless Market nailed it! I had the BLTG (Bacon Lettuce Tomato Gauc) wrap, chicken wild rice soup and lemon shortbread cookie. I took to go and ate at the cute city park the next block over. Service was great too. In addition to great lunch spot, super cute co-op feel grocery store too! read more

What a wonderful gem in Platteville! Kind and honest people with great quality food, drinks, and goods. Great place to find gifts or get a healthy snack or meal. LOVE THE CURRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH! Just a great place! read more

The Driftless Market team put together a private dinner party celebrating a milestone birthday for 9 this week. The dinner was planned within less than a week, and they pulled it off without skipping a beat. They prepared a special menu based on various dietary restriction, the food was amazing, the room upstairs was reserved for our party and decorated beautifully, and service was absolutely outstanding. They even offered the dinner party guests 15% off any purchase in the store. Best venue in the area for an original and customized private party up to 35 people; highly recommended! Thank you Driftless Market! read more

Driftless Market - a group of people sitting around a table - Grocery Near Me - Platteville, Wisconsin

The Driftless Market is a great addition to Platteville's Main Street! Their grocery store features local produce and groceries and favors all forms of organic products from food to soaps. The restaurant soups and sandwiches are very very good. Seating is limited and it may be tough to get a seat at peak times, but you can always get items to go. The staff is very helpful and considerate. And, if the grocery items and lunch items are not enough, you can browse the rotating exhibits by local artists! The atmosphere is very nice, set in a turn-of-the-century early 1900 space. The prices are a tad high, but worth the extra pennies to support community arts and agriculture and top quality organic products. Check out the Driftless Market. You will not be disappointed. Check out their webpage for recipes and interesting newsletters, too. read more

Driftless Market - Drift in to the Driftless Market! - Grocery Near Me - Platteville, Wisconsin

I've come back here a few times now to get groceries or random items and I've been impressed. The staff are usually pretty busy but helpful.

I always am happy to see natural-type food stores in small towns, and that is certainly the case here. This seems like a labor of love for them, and I am glad that they have stayed in business for so long. A noteworthy feature of the store is the prepared food selection. I'm not sure if there are any regular restaurants with organic-type food in Platteville (I doubt it), but at least I know that I can get something to eat here. They have hot food for lunch several times a week, plus soups and various cold prepared foods every day. The selection of bakery goods is especially nice. Everything is prepared on the premises, and they also have a very nice dining area in the converted apartment above the store (up a steep staircase). The vegan vegetable soup that I tried was excellent, and I also enjoyed the lemon shortbread cookie that I tried. I was disappointed, though, that even though I was informed that everything is organic, that actually is not true of the meats used in the prepared food products. So I plan to steer clear of foods with meat in them when eating here in the future, since I do not do well with meats when the animals have been fed glyphosate-contaminated feed. I actually threw the chicken salad that I bought away because it was inedible to me. I wish I had read the ingredient list before tasting it, rather than trusting what the store employee told me about all the prepared food being organic. The fact that they are using non-organic meats in the prepared foods seemed a little odd to me since they actually have a very, very nice selection of organic local meats in the freezer section. So it must just be that they are trying to keep costs down on the prepared foods, in order to increase sales volume. That is not a strategy that I really approve of, but it may be necessary for them to stay in business, I guess. As is evidenced with the prepared food, there seems to be a strong vegetarian/vegan emphasis throughout this store, with many such products being stocked. The fresh produce section was pretty good (though i am not sure what it will be like in winter months). I bought some frozen ground lamb and thought the quality was very good. It has been hard for me to get good lamb here and so will be buying that from this store again. They also stock New Century organic pastured eggs, which I have found in the past to be very good quality for eggs available in a supermarket. Those eggs are no longer being sold in Galena/Dubuque though, and so I very well may make special trips to this store to buy those eggs during the winter months, when it is harder to get good eggs from local producers. The selection of cheeses was pretty good, though with the local products, it would be really helpful to know what the animals are eating (e.g. grass-fed, organic feed, GMO-free feed, conventional feed). It would be pretty easy for the store to collect that information and supply it, if they chose to do so. I thought it was nice that there were a variety of store-made frozen soups being stocked (though I would not eat a high percentage of them since they were made with non-organic meat). I was not particularly impressed by choices of packaged goods products stocked by the store, since I feel that in many cases that they had not selected the better products from various categories. A lot of their products were non-organic and had ingredients such as "natural flavors" in them, for instance. In addition, I felt that the packaged goods products were across the board quite high-priced. I would like to see more local packaged goods too. I guess in keeping with their lunchtime focus, their selection of drinks was quite good, and the prices on these were not too bad. Again, all in all, it is great to have a market like this in a town like Platteville. If I lived in town, I would likely come in regularly to buy produce, meat, eggs, cheese and prepared foods. And I undoubtedly will go out of my way to stop by again when I am in this general area or when I need eggs or lamb. read more

The Driftless Market is WONDERFUL! I love coming in and finding earth friendly products. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend this business :D read more

Cute, quaint and well-stocked local market with international and local products. The gems of the market include their homemade soups, locally made breads and pastries. Don't miss out on the amazing New Century Farms organic eggs that they carry. The farm is local and the eggs are incredible. Never had fresh same-day cheese curds until I visited Driftless Market. Hook's cheese curds are to-die-for. Couldn't stop eating them! Pick up some local organic butter or fresh produce. Prices are great for some items, a little hefty for others but if you care about nutritionally sound products, and love local items, this is the place to shop. read more

It's great to have an organic, healthy grocery store in Platteville!

What a hidden treat! I love all the options. If you are looking for local product or something unique, they have it. We purchased Viroqua coffee -- you have to try it! It was supposed to be for just a treat once in awhile, but it's an every day treat now. They also have natural foods, essential oils, and handcrafted items. You have to stop by! read more

It is nice to have an local store that offers organic products that you cant get anywhere else. It is also nice that they are part of the main street the downtown needs more small business that help grow the local economy read more

I do NOT know what we would have done w/o this market while in the area for work from Oct-Feb. We made a weekly trip for the fresh, local, organic produce, local clean meats and raw milk cheeses. Heidi is a dear and so helpful and sweet. Driftless Market will be my first stop when I return for the month of April. read more
