History
In the heart of the depression a man by the name of John Denis who was selling stone mills at the time decided to open a retail establishment with his own milling machines. He purchased much of his inventory from the local farmers up until the mid 1970's. Many of the products sold to us today are from larger manufacturors however we do buy what we can from small local growers and bee keepers. Our bulk foods section continues to grow as we carry over 800 different flours, grains, spices and herbs. As we grew we also added organic produce, supplements, a bakery and let's not forget our famous Food Mill peanut butter. As owner since 1993, Kirk Watkins has been here starting in 1969.
