Testimonials

On 6/16/2025 Dan & Tammie Engelke had this to say:
We moved from a small rural area in SW Wisconsin to a new home in the Galena Territory. We stopped at the Country House Grocery and were met with Hello and how are today! Melissa and her staff are so nice and any products or meats you need can be found here. The old fashion creaking floor sound and the glass bottled milk containers make you feel as rural as you can get. The store is very clean and you’ll never be treated like a number!! A rare gem that I hope everyone try’s and seeks out.
