Cherry Grove Market

This little market is such a hidden gem along the rural stretch of Highway 71 in Central Minnesota.
I am not sure if the Amish Community owns the store or just manage it, but its all Amish women working here and they make most of the soup mixes, nut butters, and the produce is local. They also have canned fruits, homemade jams, salsa, etc.
My favorite is the deli. They have the best homemade sub rolls and subs! They are super cheap, less than 5 dollars and are huge! Enough for two to share but being the oinker I am, I can eat a whole one when I am totally starving. Try one!
They only have one brand of deli cheese and meats (Troyer) and its excellent quality and you will not find a better price anywhere. The cheeses are typically less than $ 5 per pound and a lot of the deli meats are anywhere from 5 to 7 Per Pound but the quality exceeds your typical grocery store brands. If I wasn’t so lazy, I would get up and tell you the brand right now but I am too lazy. I just got back from my home town of Long Prairie so I grabbed me about five kinds of cheeses and some Cajun turkey breast which is the best! You have to at least try that along with your sub or maybe get a Cajun turkey sub!
Certain days of each week, they have baked goodies, bread, muffins, etc. I do not know the schedule since I don’t live up there but the bread goes fast so if you don’t get it in the morning, you will be out of luck!
They have amazing chocolates right by the check out according to my sister. So much, in fact, that one lady in front of her just today bought the entire box of French chocolate mints. The box was over 16 pounds!
The only reason I cannot rate five stars is because of the slow service. Maybe they are on to something by looking so peaceful and not being in a hurry, but do not stop here if you are in a hurry! I am warning you now! They only have one meat slicer and they slice very meticulously. If you are in line for the deli, be prepared to wait. No one moves quickly in Cherry Grove Market.
There is nothing like this for miles so if you pull this up on Unilocal while in the area, just stop! You will thank me!
