    Always an enjoyable visit. Lots of different food varieties available and great sandwiches. I always come here for flowers as they have an awesome selection. They have great pumpkins as well with great prices to match.

    This was our first visit and we were not disappointed. We got a delicious loaf of raisin bread and some pumpkin whoopee pies from the bakery where they were making all kinds of breads, rolls, cookies, and more. The coffee from the bean to cup grinder and brewing machine was excellent. This store is packed with spices, baking ingredients, frozen fruits, frozen pies, canned goods, cheeses, specialty grocery items, and health foods that cannot be found just anywhere. One special brand that sets Shirk's Country Market apart from other specialty food stores in the area is Marie Sharp's hot sauce. Even though this is the best habanero pepper sauce in the world it is hard to find in the US because it's a small company in Belize that makes all their own sauce from their locally grown peppers. There are not many distributers in North America. There are several blends ranging from mild to super hot. I've been to several countries and tried all kinds of hot sauces but none compare to Marie Sharp's. If for no other reason you need to visit this store just to get the best hot sauce. Shirk's also offer fresh produce from the best local growers.

    Great place to get baked goods, spices in bulk, loose leaf tea, and more. A favorite location for groceries. They also have a great selection of gluten free flours and baking options.

    At the greenhouse, we buy our garden plants here every Spring. The best quality at the best prices. At the grocery store, lots of great quality products. A wonderful deli making great sandwiches made-to-order. Always friendly and helpful staff. Fresh baked goods. Quality outdoor furniture for sell on the front porch. Large concrete parking lot.

    I was not sure what to expect when I walked into the store (it is run it by the Amish, I believe), since I am not from the area, but I was elated with what I found inside. Immediately, you are hit with the smell of the bakery, and it is fantastic! They had so many interesting and unique items on their shelves, from beet pickled eggs, micro marshmallows, frozen “homemade” biscuits (with no chemicals, because they made them themselves), dandelion jelly, and so many other interesting things.....I know that if I lived nearby, I would be there quite often. My main goal was bakery items, and I was overly excited by what I saw and was extremely pleased with what I bought. The strawberry pie, made with fresh strawberries in a lovely strawberry gel/sauce with real whipped cream on top, was the best I’ve had, and I even enjoyed the crust, which was flaky and slightly sweet. They had many variations of whoopee pies, and I ended up getting a marshmallow cream pie. It was delightful, with the “cream“ not quite being marshmallow, not quite being icing, and tinged with cinnamon, which was really nice surprise. You are able to get sandwiches and other food there, but I didn’t pay all that much attention to those things. They had a small produce section, with some locally grown items (it was the first week of June, so I would think they would have more local produce later in the summer). The store was clean, everyone was friendly. This place is pretty much right in the middle of Missouri, just west of Jefferson City off US Highway 50, and easy to find.Next time I am in the area, I will certainly stop by!

    Love this store. Selection is quite varied, prices are quite reasonable, staff attentive and well trained. This place is a home cook's dream. Bought some honey, fudge and a lemon meringue pie, very delicious. Will be back as soon as I can.

    A great little shop to get bulk food and spices. My wife got an incredible batch of fresh blueberries. Great for spices and raw ingredients etc... they also have a nice little sandwich shop!

    This is an amazing and unique place. Stuff you can't find anywhere else, fresh baked goods, and OH MY the double bacon BLT is incredible. A little out of the way but right on target.
