Food Scene
Welcome to the local butcher shop with a bonus market right down the road. They offer regionally sourced beef, pork, and other items with an onsite market. You can buy everything from a steak for dinner, wine, vegetables, Zihn's famous egg rolls to the finest ice cream. Prices are a little steep for some items but my experience over the past 10 years has always been good here. It is family owned and they have exceptional customer service.
