The Spice Shack

Seasonings are sold by weight rather than in fixed jars, so you can buy a small amount of something you'll use once or a larger quantity of a staple. Alongside the culinary herbs, the store carries medicinal herbs, which are the dried plant material people use for teas, tinctures, and home remedies rather than cooking. Buying loose this way costs less per ounce than bottled supermarket spices and lets you restock only what you actually run through.

Loose-leaf teas are stocked here as well, sold the same way as the seasonings, by the amount you want rather than in boxed bags. The store also carries baking ingredients, which fills out the pantry side of a shop already built around dry goods sold in bulk. If you bake regularly, this is the kind of supply you can buy in the quantity a recipe or a season calls for.

Beyond the food, the shelves hold kitchen accessories, the tools and small equipment that go with measuring, mixing, and storing what you've bought. Payment is cash only; there is no card reader noted. Posted hours aren't listed here, so call ahead before driving out, particularly if you're coming any distance.
