Courtney S Review of Country Mercantile Store

I seriously don't know why this place got such good reviews. My husband and I (both tattooed, gauged ears), accompanied by our two young children, immediately felt unwelcome as soon as we walked in. The place was full of old people who stared very rudely at us as we walked through the store. Shelves upon shelves of the same pickled things and barbecue sauces. "Homemade, old-fashioned Amish" applesauce contained both high fructose corn syrup and regular corn syrup. Everything was stupid expensive. $7 for a little bag of off-brand puffed corn nuggets, are you serious? I came because of their chocolate shop and bought a small box of 9 truffles for $10. The truffles were big and the price was decent so I figured the drive and uncomfortable atmosphere would all be worth it if the chocolate was as good as they claim it to be. I dug into a lemon truffle eagerly. I was the worst chocolate I've ever tasted.
I am a bonafide chocolate addict and I'm very specific about my chocolate. I'd rather have grocery store chocolate. I'd rather eat Hershey's. The "lemon filling" tasted spoiled and the chocolate itself was bland and almost totally tasteless. Ugh. Never coming here again.
