Shopping

YOU. MUST. VISIT. DETWILER'S! This is my first stop when I get to town.,, I'm like a kid at Christmas time in this locally owned Amish farm market! Fresh local veggies, fresh bakery, butcher shop, fresh seafood, sandwich station, deli, homemade salsa and guacamole, local grass fed beef and dairy... and you can't leave without a scoop of locally churned ice cream at $1.29 per scoop! Try the ice cream sandwich (between two freshly baked chocolate chip cookies). So good!
