Dori and her team have helped us every part of the way to ensure we would get everything prepared the way we wanted for our family.

Funny I picked up the frozen beer battered pollack. I did some sampling for this review. Ham spread, not spicy, pretty mild and perfect for an appetizer. I got a creamy macaroni salad and it is clearly made on site. Not the generic crap. Some ham for sandwiches. This is definitely not the stuff from the store. The butter spritz cookies looked great for a snack later. You really have to hold back. If i picked up any of the jams and jellies I'd put back on the 50# I lost. The only non specialty items were crackers and sodas as far as I could tell. There's a lot of stuff here and a lot of people buying it at any given time. My favorite was in the deli. Pete's jalapeno pickles. Now Yelpers know I don't like anything spicy. This just looked so damn good and it was bread and butter style. A great flavor. Super big slices too. They have good cheese assortments and I was impressed by a huge block of sliced American. Lots of staff. This place is almost like a hang out.

That said, we were going to make our semi-annual trip to Ferndale this past weekend and we were disappointed to see that prices for ground turkey didn't just go up in price, but had doubled (according to the website) since we last purchased over the summer. We had just bought a Ferndale turkey for Thanksgiving and it didn't seem like prices had doubled at that time. Love the product, disappointed that it's now cost-prohibitive. We traveled from River Falls, WI to buy from them and now we can no longer afford it.

When I got there, I asked if I could please use the restroom. She informed me that there restroom was not public. I asked again if I could please use it because I was pregnant and drove a long way, and I really could not finish my shopping because I had to pee so badly. She still wouldn't let me. I ended up leaving with only 2 packages of bacon and 2 canned items, when it was my intention to purchase much more than that. It was an embarrassing experience for myself, and I also feel the owner of this establishment should be embarrassed. I understand the policy of not having a public restroom, but please have a bit of human compassion and make an exception for an emergency. You lost a big sale today.

What the store specialized in was quite clear: sausage. So much sausage. We did get bacon, though, plus gobs of cheese and even a salsa to try.

The extent of their COVID precautions is a plastic shield at the counter. I did not make a scene in the store, but I did call when I got home. I expressed my concerns politely and asked if the lack of masks was an anomaly or regular practice. He said that they have a plastic shield and a sign on the door to comply with the law, but customers can come and go as they please (with or without masks). I told him that the pandemic is real and unless they enforce mask-wearing, I will not come back. He said, "Fine!" and hung up on me. It is a bummer because they have delicious tri-tip roasts.
