“ Reviews don't do this extraordinary shopping experience justice. I'm not one to celebrate the co-op experience as I have clean ankles, shaved arm pits and live a right-of-center existence. My daughter is a veteran of the store. She said get a cart. That's the first right move. The first item on the shelf was flax seeds, whole and ground. I mix that in my bread recipe. A small container like at the grocery deli was under $2. From there it was game on. There are plenty of other usables for normal cooking in manageable quantities and prices. BTW, the stickers have packaging dates to ensure you know the quality dates. Freshness matters. I live 7 hours away and won't be going home for several days so I passed on the refrigerator items. But if you want a 30 lb. box of bacon, it's in the back cooler. I only spent $40 but the meal possibilities are numerable. Go. You won't be disappointed. ”

“ This grocery has bulk dry foods/goods at a fraction of the price. They all have large bulk bags (50 lbs) of sugar, oats, flours, etc. Also, they have smaller bagged items if all sorts of spices, soups, baking goods. There is also a cold room where they have numerous dairy items and fruits. I always pick up a bag of fresh cheese curds. Feel free to ask for help if you want more than what is on the shelf. The workers are very friendly. ”

“ I have shopped at Stringtown for over 30 years. The selection is huge, the prices great, and the service wonderful. The quality above 10. The only downside is i have moved far away and the do not ship so i am out of luck. :) great place. Great people. Great goods. ”

“ Great variety of wholesome bulk food! I love the brooms and cheeses. Fresh vegetables and meats ”

“ It is a fun place to go even if you don't go to get something you need. You will probably go out with a bag of something. My husband likes the cinnamon rolls but I like the spices. You can get as little or as much as you want. It's the only place left to get ham seasoning paste. Love that stuff. ”

“ Great shopping experience for a country store with large variety of groceries and hardware ”

“ Bulk foods Heaven. Reasonable prices. Lots of items made locally, lots of items not made locally but branded 'Stringtown Grocery.' Produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, candies, fudge, jams, jellies, small section of personal care items and supplements. Check out their greenhouse that's filled to the brim with annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, beautiful lawn and patio furniture, bird feeders, garden care items, and much more. We bought of of this year's vegetables plants for less than $25! Highly recommend. Cash or check only. ”

“ Awesomely Amish! Such a great place. They have so much selection and you cannot beat the prices. Bring your cash or check. No credit here. The place is not lit by electric lights and can be dim on cloudy days as the sun starts to go down. Lots of wonderful Amish made or packages items to select from. Love the jams, honey, homemade peanut butter, syrup, candies, meats, cheeses and wow the bulk spice section!!! ”

“ Any visit to my inlaws absolutely requires a Stringtown sojourn. It honestly is one of the most unique stores in the country, in my opinion. While the gentle Amish eschew many modern amenities, they are still extremely astute business folks, and their simple grocery store that caters to their needs draws in far more of, 'The English.' I shopped here in the 90s, while stationed at U of Iowa, and their wonderful products and great value has not changed one bit. The only thing that has changed is a newer/larger, building, resplendent with awesome natural lighting and propane-powered refrigeration for their meats/produce and inside climate control. In this nut job of a world we live in, it is so comforting to experience Amish country, and relish thoughts of a simpler life. God Bless them... ”

“ I love this place. I don't really know what else to say, but this is a unique shopping experience since this is an Amish-run grocery store full of bulk goods, specialty jams, and fresh produce. Before moving away from the area nearly 20 years ago, I used to come here with some regularity to buy bread flour, pastas, jams, and roasted soybeans. Back then, the store was a nondescript small white building along the road. Cultures came together here, as cars sporting plates from different states would be parked next to the buggies of the the local Amish population. Today, there's a new, bigger building with a larger parking lot for the tourists that flock to this place, but the Old World charm still remains. The store is still staffed by the lovely Amish (and I believe Mennonite) people, who are all exceedingly friendly and helpful. The store still carries a broad variety of bulk dried goods and prices that are frankly unbeatable. Yes, there is some touches of modern. The refrigerated section is, in fact, electrically cooled. There are automatic doors and electronic registers. But during the day, the light is provided by skylights. Tourists and locals mingle happily, and it's easy to strike up a conversation. Some speak with a lilting accent that is as endearing as it is unique. ”
