There also was delicious roasted potatoes and saute string beans. Did I say delicious...you bet! The corn bread was top of the line. I had to have seconds and held back going for thirds.

I…read morehave tried 8 different prepared soups/ salads, and every one of them was delicious and worth getting again! The bread is very good ( eht, ehm.. better than the competition). The bakery selection is small, but VERY good (try the rum cake) and they have a hot bar with excellent choices.. I've had the beef and the pork stew.. both are to die for! In regards to value, the prices blow everyone away, and you can get some fantastic items I've never seen anywhere else. I'm almost reluctant to share this gem, wanting to keep it all to myself, but it's just too good not to pass on.

We live in the area and I prefer farm fresh eggs to store bought and it's nice to have that option. Sometimes you see chickens or goats walking around, which is a nice change of pace.

Drove an additional 15 miles to go and visit Stew Leonard's…read more I preface this review by saying I've seen the owner of Stew Leonard's on the morning news in the past. Particularly during the holidays, where he is talking about how to prepare your holiday meals. Second, my friend from New Jersey is probably the Duchess of Stew Leonard's and I had to see what this was all about. Here is my story It's like going to a Trader Joe's if you're on the West Coast, BuCees if you're on Central and southeast part of the country or I don't know I suppose a typical local giant supermarket. Here are my observations. They accommodate the local people they have so many things you can do with your children. If you're shopping in the store, they have mascots and different games you can play. The store is clean and organize organized There are many local products, they support the local community Would I go back? Probably if I lived closer, I would love to buy their vegetables which was very neatly displayed and priced. They were busy! That says something right?

This place is a great spot if you have little kids. There are interactive things all around the…read morebuilding to keep them entertained, and the mini shopping carts with flags are absolutely adorable. It really makes shopping more fun for families. They have their own wine and liquor store, plus a grab-and-go, buffet-style area with fresh, hot food. There is also an ice cream station with cotton candy and strawberry soft-serve, which is delicious. I especially love the cone cups because if the ice cream melts, it doesn't drip all over you. One of my favorite parts is the selection of pre-prepped meals you can take home and throw right in the oven, like Chicken Cordon Bleu and stuffed chicken with spinach and artichoke, along with many other options. It makes dinner so much easier. The only downside was that the avocados all seemed very overripe, so those probably aren't the best thing to buy here. Other than that, the store is well stocked and easy to shop in. I also really appreciate that they have real checkout counters instead of only self-checkout. The employees are friendly, helpful, and the service is good. Prices run a little on the higher side, but if you look around, you can definitely find some decent deals. Overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable place to shop, especially for the pre-made meals and family-friendly atmosphere.

For Small Business Saturday, I visited Gathering Board Charcuterie on the Berlin Turnpike as they…read moreopened on Saturday morning. I had seen content about GBC on Instagram before. Among other things, GBC creates charcuterie boxes, boards and grazing tables in certain sizes for retail and/or catering purposes. I believe they also host events and/or classes. I was hoping to get a charcuterie box for a small watch get together. I needed it Saturday morning and they were able to accommodate me even though they recommend on their website ordering 48 hours in advance. They were very nice to deal with and the shop was very nice. I was very happy with my small charcuterie box. It cost around $55, but the box felt heavy and was full of cured meats, cheeses, fruit, nuts, cucumbers and spreads. It was artfully displayed with different shapes and colors. They also provide a small box of crackers, which included the ones that look like thin slices from a fruit nut bread. Everything I tried was delicious and fresh. I highly recommend Gathering Board if you're looking for this type of food or service. They also had cheese, crackers, etc. available for purchase. 5 Stars

Although I didn't buy any other products, there seemed to be a good selection and I like how things were displayed. Shchedryk is definitely worth exploring. 4 Stars
