Stringtown Grocery is a long time Staple in the Kalona area. A bulk shopping experience at which the products are nicely displayed, clearly organized, and VERY clean. There is a vast selection of the best of many things. Jams, pickles, spices, herbs, and extracts. Candy, nuts, and dried fruit, interesting teas. Locally baked breads, cookies and pies. Bulk natural peanut butter and fresh high quality olive oil. Noodles, varied flours for all baking needs, myriad diverse beans. Oatmeal, grits and granola. It goes on and on. Then duck into the cooler area for meat, produce, cheese and butter. In a lovely area just across the parking lot, there is a beautifully maintained and displayed gardening center. At this time of year (late April), there are many plants for vegetable gardens and bedding plants for flowers. I have been coming to this store for many years, having come to rely on it for stocking my pantry, plant some lovely flower pots, and find unique ingredients for creative cooking. Please be aware that there is a bit of road construction in this area as of April 2024. But honestly, where isn't there?

There is nothing quite as clean as an Amish business and grocery store. I would use the floor as a plate. The prices are completely reasonable if not under what you would expect. Which was a bkessing. The grocery store has all sorts of seasonings. If you can brainchild a flavor they have a seasoninf of it..like philly cheese steak sandwich seasoning. Not kidding..they have all.sorts of vitamins at a great bargain and salves and soaps and.potions and remedies.. they have a variety of natural leaf teas.. a ton of candy types..i got those wax soda bottles from the 80s that yoy bite and get a tasty treat.. the candy has some mega theowbacks. They have those gross old lady peanut marshmalloe candies and the weird black licorice ones that look more for a mosaic than a vomit bomb of black licorice flavor.. they have even those gross black and orange colored wax paper candy that you 90s kids will remember that were always an awwwwahhh that again yuck.. they have bird seed bird feeders and garden seeds vegetables beans tomatoes corn nasturiums other flowers and etc quite extensive..great seed prices and varieties. They have regular staples of the grocery stores andnthey have produce that is excellent quality. They have assorted cheeses and applications. Honestly i wouldnt want for much living with this being my nearesr grocert store. The staff js well adept and competent and they take pride in their business and jobs ans it shows. Ohhhh how i wish i could take an army of young amish males and fe.ales and have them replace any bumber of places employees we would no longer see a competence issue. These people are wonderful friendly helpful sweet and educated. They are warm and inviting and i am more than happy to spend any dollars i have at their fine businesses.. they are doing it right. I only.wish they offered lessons in self sustaining. I could use it.Thanks for letting me share

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.
