It took time for the community to understand what an Amish bulk food store offers. “One of our early customers thought all we carried were pumpkin seeds,” said Eric with a smile. “It would have taken a lot of pumpkin seeds to fill this building.” Pumpkin Seed Market has evolved through the years, expanding their offerings based on the needs of its customers. Of course they offer a variety of Amish bulk foods and grocery staples, but they also feature NOW supplements, dent-n-bent groceries, a full service deli, fresh produce, and most recently, fresh beef that is raised on their own farm. Hand selected offerings aren’t the only difference someone might notice in their shopping experience at Pumpkin Seed Market. Like many other industries, the world of grocery shopping has changed as store profits have taken center stage and the local corner store approach is increasingly rare. “Stop in and be welcomed by friendly and knowledgeable staff in an easy-tonavigate store. We are here to help you find what you need and get home to your family.” All employees are cross trained on item locations and always looking to help. This approach has hit home for customers, “We have built meaningful relationships with our customers, they are like family, they come see us around holidays, we are a part of their traditions. What we do is special and meaningful, we feed families. We help people make memories around meals and events.”
