When purchasing groceries in Boyne City there are a few options but we love perusing this natural…read morestore as we always find amazing yummy items that we can eat without guilt! They have produce, frozen, refrigerated and canned items that will make any meal a delight. We can find alternative milks and butter, gluten free pastas that are the best kind and all for a pretty reasonable price. There are a few discounts if you belong to a co-op (anywhere in the world we were told), but honestly for what you get it's not too costly in comparison. We love their brown rice gluten free pasta and sauces which can be an easy dinner while on vacation, or we can splurge with some dairy free ice cream or gelato. Yum! If you haven't been in but want to try out something good for you that is also delicious we recommend this store!

Don't get me wrong, I love the Grain Train, and I go there just about daily now, but you cannot…read morecompare it to the warehouse grocery store. With that said, I personally love the Grain Train due to how close it is to where I am staying, how I can easily find local produce and products there (which I fully support), and the friendly staff. There is a small corner where you can get bulk items such as oatmeal, nuts, popcorn, etc. if that's more your speed. They also keep a small fridge in the back for a selection of pre-made cold meals and sides. Again, due to its small size, it is pretty limited on what it offers, but it covers a basic grocery haul. Also, items are typically listed at a higher premium than a standard grocery store because of the local and organic quality of its products. I would recommend dropping by if only to look around and see what's available if you want to shop locally.

I stopped here Summer of 2022 on a very hot day. My Diesel pickup was on Empty Fuel was like $5.80…read moreper gallon. I was traveling long distance from the Upper Peninsula and back to Kalamazoo. I went into the store to get ice and water for a 1/2 Gallon Water Jug. This really rude Jerk yelled at me "Don't even think of filling that Jug with Soda Pop" I don't drink Pop. I just drink water. I was trying to put ice in my Jug. I could here one solid junk of ice in the machine. I only got a few shavings in my jug. The person that I believed to be the owner of the store told me that I would have to pay for a bag of ice if I put ice in my 1/2 gallon Jug. I thought I saw the person that I perceived to be an owner go out a side door. I headed out the side door to show him that I only got a few shavings of ice and thus I would not be paying for a bag of ice. He yelled at me from within the store. He thought I was leaving and stealing a jug full of ice. The Jerk banned me from the Store and told me to never return. It would have cost me over $100.00 to fill my Fuel Tank. I left with 1/8 tank of fuel and made it to Mancelona. I had a wonderful meal at Mancelona BP and filled my Fuel Tank. I find Irony for being banned from a Store that I live 150 miles away from.

I liked that a lot of the produce was local, but it did seem to be on the expensive side. Nonetheless, I did get several kinds of beans, some beautiful Swiss chard (well, it was beautiful before it sat in my car trunk for a day), pickles (which I will use as cucumbers), zucchini, and apple salsa. The staff seemed very friendly, and from what I overheard, they were apparently starting a new program for seniors and they were patiently explaining to people how it worked.
