There are quite a number of things I pick up there regularly. Number 1 is RAW MILK!!!! Its is a foodie's delight. There is nothing like a cold glass of milk with just a bit of cream that rises to the top. They also import some of the best, reasonably priced, balsamic vinegar and olive oil around. The balsamic is aged and has a nice sweet flavor. It makes you understand why people commonly pair good balsamic with strawberries. The olive oil is fresh and has a nice flavor. Pick up some of the manicotti they have in the freezer along with a jar of David's secret tomato sauce and a chunk of bread. Viola, dinner.
Ahhh the butcher shop... how I love thee....... They will cut meat to order if you wish them to ( I wanted an unusual cut and they were happy to help) plus they have a good selection. Their apple wood smoked bacon and fresh sausage are perfect for making Sunday brunch. I have had their kabobs, which were full of flavor and tender. Their house made sausages, fresh chicken and meat are great. I'm sure if they don't have it, they can get it for you, just ask them. They also carry Boar's Head deli products.
One of the things that really makes this place stand out is their commitment to carrying a lot of local products. Being South Carolina, of course they have a lot of peach products including preserves, cider and when in season, fresh peaches of course. One of the most surprising peach products are peach wood chips for your smoker. I learned that some of the peach wood also goes to a local artist for his projects. Another favorite of mine is "May's Unique Vinaigrette" salad dressing. They also carry Hidden Acre Farm products (out of Rock Hill) including coarse ground grits which are a must for shrimp and grits, local popcorn as well as dip, bread & soup mixes from the same farm, packaged in cute mini brown paper packages with home style labels (a few in a basket make great hostess gifts). Try the soup with the cowboy on the front of it using a pound of the ground steak from the butcher shop... yumm!... and not salty at all if you are worried about sodium intake. Don't forget to grab some local honey too.
