Amazing butcher shop and farm store, supplying their own raised meats, including poultry, beef, pork, etc. And worth going to just to see the gun shop (!) for hunters that is in the adjoining room! A strange dichotomy. Besides the butcher and meats, they have lots of other staples for cooking, as well as draft beer to bring home.
