North Country Store

Twice a year I used to stop by here. This little store packs a punch. They have a great selection of cheeses, meats, and homemade jams. Spring for the 12 year cheddar if you like sharp cheese. And do yourself a favor and buy a few jars of FROG jam (and Hoppin' FROG, if you like spicy things). Plus, the price on bulk spices can't be beat!

I can't speak to any of the deli items, but lots of people seem to like them, as evidenced by the 30+ people in there midday on a weekday. There is a wide selection of bulk spices and flours, etc. Also some odd things like what looks like wild (poison) parsnip flowers? See picture, i may be wrong in my identification. Staff are friendly, usually very busy. Like a lot of North Country places, lots of younger folks on summer jobs or similar. I come here to pick up Grindstone farm orders, as it's the closest option for me and I can get a gallon of vinegar at the same time. I wish there were more local items (other than gifts and syrups - eggs would be great), and if there were more produce or groceries they could easily compete with the dollar store or walmart, and I'm coming from Theresa and Oxbow most times. Clayton Co-op is the next best bet for local, organic, or bulk, just much farther away (I often bike).

Super small grocery store with a cold cut meat counter and fresh made sandwiches Subs and wraps. The grocery store side has fresh spices, fruits and vegetables and a refrigerated section with plenty of cold soft drinks and juices. Fantastic prices my sandwich was $5.79, the bag of chips was a $1.19 and the Snapple was a $1.39. The chocolates or 3 for a dollar.
