Feature Story : Dutch Valley Market

Custom-cut, all natural, high quality meats-just like old-time butcher shops used to offer-draw locals and visitors alike to this country market's full-service meat case. A skilled butcher is always on duty to offer individual attention, custom cuts, and tips on preparing the more than 50 fresh meat and poultry items in the case.

Special order the market's legendary lamb or plan a menu around our Ohio Signature Beef pinwheels-so popular one customer comes all the way from Michigan! Call ahead or have your order prepared while you wait. Expect to find pork chops and pepper bacon, whole bone-in hams and smoked turkeys, marinated chicken breasts made only with locally-raised Gerber Chicken, spicy Italian and fresh regional sausages, and so much more.

Delight in the delicious details of this unusual market and its regional treats. Find jewel-like jars of crisp pickles, vegetable relishes, fruit preserves, and traditional Amish Country favorites-like Der Dutchman Apple Butter and Peanut Butter Spread. Sample some creamy Swiss from Amish Country's famous cheese houses.

Pick up a loaf of freshly baked whole-wheat bread made from scratch at Dutch Valley Bakery.

Dutch Creek Foods is also a surprising source for unusual gifts and souvenirs-including speckled granite-ware pots and pans, cutting boards, apple peelers, honey jars, and colorful bib aprons for both grown-up and young chefs. A collection of cookbooks offers inspiration and instructions for using ingredients from the store in your own home kitchen. You're apt to rediscover some forgotten sweets from your childhood, too, like swirled candy sticks, bags of bright orange candy circus peanuts, buttery peanut brittle, chewy caramels, or marshmallows covered with chocolate.
