Further proving the desolation of the area are the Christmas decorations; the tree outside was decorated with ornaments and a "dead deer" hanging by its back legs in the tree. (OK maybe I am being slightly dramatic - its not that far out of civilization). Any way. They have every little random thing you might need in a pinch, but it is definitely not a place to do your main shopping. It was $7 for a bag of chips and carton of eggs but it saved a bunch of gas and time, so I think it evens out. I am sure we will be back, frequently, as someone in the family is at the cabin every weekend. Its good to know a place run by nice people exists conveniently nearby.

Biggest problem was with Patty who works in the back office had a complete meltdown when I asked for a copy of the tracking numbers. She threw a tantrum over the cost of the piece of paper and if everyone requested a copy she would be going through reams and reams of paper. And kept yelling at me, I left without it and never got a chance to explain to her ONCE AGAIN that I needed it for work as they need proof of the drop off.

I understand as i assume it isn't a full time business, but i also think that a lot more people would come if it was open earlier in the mornings and later at night (i either go to the gym at 6:00am or 7:00pm and i know a lot of people don't get off work until at least 5:30!)

But I am very glad that I did. I do occasionally eat fish, so I did pick up a packet of smoked salmon. But it was also really pleased to see the variety of selection of non-meat products. If you were heading up north and needed stuff for charcuterie on the boat, you could definitely stop here. My colleagues had packed a cooler and bought an assortment of fresh and frozen meat, which they insisted some of the best in Minnesota. Given how much meat they like to eat, that's saying a lot. It's just off the highway when you're heading up on Highway 10. If you like meat or smoked fish you really should stop in.

The smell of smoke is the first thing that hits you when you walk through the door to the place followed by the sight of all kinds and cuts of meat: Pork, beef, jerked, smoked, ground... the list goes on and on. Sort of like a Disneyworld of butchered meats. My coworker busied himself with his list of items he was looking for while I walked around the long butcher case with tons of freshly prepared meat items: sausages, ground meats, smoked meats, bacon... oh man I really wished I lived near this place. Since I was traveling and had no way to store these things, I settled for some pork jerky and took it home - it was amazing. I do not believe that they have an online shipping / ecommerce capability so I will have to plan ahead if I ever get back up in that area. Definitely worth a trip if you are anywhere near Pierz.
