Pig City Garden Calendar: Troyers Country Store Opens in Fenner!

By Daniel Marvin

I had the privilege of meeting store manager John Troyer at his very special Amish store named “Troyers Country Store” as the door opened for the first time at 9 am this morning. It is located at 5518 Nelson Road in Fenner and the hours (for all you who are eager to see what it is all about and start to fill your pantries, refrigerators and freezers with what is good to have) are:

Monday and Friday 9 am to 6 pm
Tuesday thru Thursday 9 am to 5 pm
Saturday 8 am to 4 pm.

They sell products from local farmers like grass-fed beef, all kinds of deli products, normal refrigerated items including butter, cheese, milk, cheeses curds soda and bacon.

Bulk foods galore meet your eyes on the many shelves, including such special things as peanut butter, Epsom salt and just about anything we need to cook with or have on the side, even fresh, homemade bread, pastas, dried beans, nuts, fruits and other specialties.

If you yearn for “Jake and James” Amish products (such as sauerkraut asparagus, mushrooms and so much else!) or “Kuntry Kettle” Amish products from the Yoder Family which include jellies, sauces, and other special treats, then this is the store for you.

It is only 6 miles from Cazenovia, and they rely very much on local producers, such as the eight nearby Amish Farms, and they will have pork in the spring, or sooner, being raised on local farms. There will not be vegetables out of season…all will be fresh from local farms.

You will be happy to know they sell honey from Bob Thorps bee colony. Oh yes – before I forget – On Fridays and Saturdays there will be some special offerings each week, so get there early those days for fresh baked pies, rolls and cookies.

If you are producing an organic product on your farm, you might go to the store and ask John Troyer if he has a need for what you grow.

One thing for certain – each and every one who I have spoken to that has been to Troyers Store echoed the first couple who said .. “We’ll be back. Thank you.”

We will surely make it our regular stop for quality foodstuff and a friendly and honest atmosphere.
