Stringtown Grocery

On a fun afternoon trip last week a couple friends and I (and the munchkins) hopped in the car and headed down to Kalona to see a few sights.

We had lunch, then took in the Stringtown Grocery and the Cheese Factory.

Stringtown Grocery is an Amish-run bulk grocery store in a beautiful country setting. For bakers and cooks, this store is like mecca....every spice, noodle, grain, flour and sugar imaginable! I bought the fine whole wheat flour as well as a little crispy bear for Marsh. I used the flour this weekend in my blueberry muffin recipe...just halvsied it with white flour. Turned out pretty good!
