Duncans Mills General Store

An old fashioned general store still operating in the 21^st Century. Wandered through with our grandson and youngest nephew. The kids hit me up for snacks for the vacation trip just getting underway.
Enjoyed their displays of unique treasures up high over the shelves and cases for merchandise for sale.
Prices seemed fair and they were friendly to us as we browsed around.

I don’t really want to give 1 star, but not sure how to rate the place. Went there to purchase jerky, which we had several years ago. They were out! The girl behind the counter seemed confused when we asked if they had any and she told us he was making some today (on a Saturday). Wouldn’t you make something like that BEFORE you run out? So disappointed; so looking forward to it because as I remember, it was soooooo good and nothing like I’d ever had before. Don’t know if you can order it online. :-(

This was a great spot to stop into and grab the essentials for a weekend out. Great wine and a quality selection, plus as it turns out they sell floating tubes for the river.

Great artisan sandwiches. Decent wine selection. No dogs.

Interesting and high quality selection of eatables and unique sundries. I love this cute store — I go for the baked goods (fresh breads, cookies), local meats, and love to just look around. I always find new and fun things like mermaid soap, cute dish towels and local art.

This place is a sweet little gem! This fabulous store has local wine, an awesome local cheese selection, fresh bread and cookies, a great ORGANIC PRODUCE selection, local meat, a nice choice of craft and domestic beers, and a mix of stuff you’d find at a corner market as well as many things you’d scout out at a natural foods store.
The owners are friendly and receptive to the needs of their customers. I dig this place, and am glad it’s just down the street!

I realized the General Store needs some updated reviews! A really lovely family has taken it over.
I live just around the corner and love this place. The new owners do an amazing job of keeping it stocked with what locals & visitors might need. If you’re in a rental or camping, anything you forgot to bring can be found here from toothpaste to the ingredients for s’mores. They stock all the basics and all the extra special vacation items including great local wine. They also bake their own bread and have a deli. (I haven’t tried the deli yet but have only heard good things) We mostly use it to pick up items we’ve run out of like milk or eggs, but we also use it as a nice place to walk in the evenings for an ice cream. They also stock lots of great beer and my personal favorite, Crabbie’s Ginger Beer which is hard to find and absolutely delicious. It’s full of little treasures.
This is definitely a place to stop when you’re in Duncans Mills.

i took a look at other post. THE STORE IS OPEN AND WOW …
The young family that is operating the store are fantastic. The store is packed with new items including local grass fed beef, pork locally raised, wine from local, fresh bread from the the bakery across the way .
the deli is well stocked and clean and they have added slow cooked (Barbecue). I had the pork ribs (yum yum) tri tip and chicken are also prepared.
The combinations of ribs, fresh bread and the wine i purchased (wild hog zin 2009) was a hearty start to a great dinner .
Go and visit it worth your time.

So sad to see this place close down… I hope whoever buys it DOES IT JUSTICE!!!

After doing a little browsing around the shops in Duncans Mills, husband and I got thirsty. «Oh look! There’s a general store!» We walk over anticipating a charming general store filled with goodies and local kitschy stuff, as many general stores are. However, what we found was a dreary little store that quite dark inside, musty smelling, and with very little to choose from. Empty shelves with one loaf of bread here, a can of peas on table, a packet of hostess cupcakes there. There seemed to be only one of everthing, and I wasnt sure how fresh things were… so we turned around and left without buying anything. Too bad because the outside of the building is charming… not sure why there was nothing in stock!

A convenient little market. I’ve always been the only person in there when I get some stuff here, so you gotta be careful about the expiration dates. They have almost everything and anything you need in here. I would suggest stopping by in Guerneville where the prices are a little lower and there is usually a better selection.

A great little market that could easily rip you off based on it’s location and the lack of anything similar around it, but the prices were very reasonable. We were headed camping and needed to pick up some things, the woman working here was very helpful and they had very fresh dairy products, which sometimes those out-​of-​the-​way places don’t have. They also had a great selection of beer and wine. Oh, and if you need to pick up a souvenier or are cheesy enough to want something from there for yourself, there’s that, too!
