Old Country Cheese

The fruit spreads are the deepest part of the inventory. Stocked flavors include apple, apricot, cherry, blackberry, peach, strawberry, and gooseberry, along with a dutch apple jam, plum butter, and pumpkin butter. The mix runs from common preserves to ones a regular grocery rarely carries, such as gooseberry and the butters. If you cook with preserves or want something beyond the standard grape and strawberry, the range here is worth a look. They suit toast and baking equally and make a low-cost item to take home.

The store sells Amish made cheese. Cheese pairs naturally with the preserves on the same shelves, and between the two you can put together most of a bread-and-spread table from one stop.

Alongside the food, Old Country Cheese stocks gifts and crafts. These are the non-grocery side of the store and are a reason to come in even if you are not buying pantry goods, whether you are picking up a present or browsing.

Payment is cash; no card reader is noted, so bring enough to cover what you intend to buy. Hours are not listed here, so call ahead before driving out to confirm the store is open, particularly if you are coming any distance to Cashton.
