Need to stock up on provisions for the homestead? The best mercantile around is Grove Market, according to Weekly readers, who have voted year after year for the small but mighty neighborhood store. Locals swear by the deli counter, which greets shoppers as soon as they walk in the door. It’s a great place to pick up hot dishes and meats. The rest of the store is packed with all the essentials, from canned goods and produce to fresh pies from Gizdich Ranch and Marianne’s Ice Cream, and everything in between. There’s a great selection of beers, wines and spirits, too. Everything you need to load up the wagon before you mosey on home.
