“We have driven by this iconic farm stand numerous times when traveling to visit a loved one in Story City, but this time I decided to stop. I am grateful for the beautiful experience of visiting this Story City landmark!Located on US 69, just a few hundred feet northwest of the 115th Street road that leads into Story City, Slim's Country Market is a gem. Celebrating its 80th year of providing quality produce, fruit, and goods to the community, Slim's has so much history oozing from its onsite photos, and its product is sensational.I loved the interior, the great products to pick from, the quality all around, and the relatively new ownership has a great way about themselves, being kind and helpful. They have great ice cream, honey, local fruits, and knick-knacks. Good BBQ sauce also! I heard a lot of good vibes regarding their annual July peaches, lettuce leaf, and butter lettuce!But the highlight of the visit wasn't the food; nope, it was meeting Jon, whose family ran the stand for almost seven decades. Jon told us about its history and showed us photos with tremendous pride. I loved his passion for the community and their ongoing kindness in the community's retirement facilities. Jon is a wonderful person and made our visit so sensational. We will ALWAYS visit Slim's from this point forward, as the visit was great and its people and product so warm and inviting.”
