Bolton's is the BEST. A local turkey farm in the town I grew up, they have sustainable produce (often local depending on what and when), milk from another local farm in the area, healthy groceries, a deli both for meats and various sides and salads, and made to order sandwiches. I am able to get almost all my weekly groceries from Bolton's, with the exception of some staples like Greek yogurt.
Everything I need to make my salads as hearty and colorful as I can I get from Bolton's. Lettuce (often local), peppers, mushrooms, pea shoots (local), radishes, pickled beets, craisins, walnuts, and even dressing! I also love their couscous salad (seasonal), broccoli salad, and pasta salad. All the salads are made fresh onsite with healthy and wholesome ingredients. They also carry pantry items like pasta, mustard, ketchup, jams, etc, all from health-focused companies that value quality ingredients with less additives and preservatives, such as Mrs. Miller's Noodles and Bob's Red Mill. The meats at Bolton's are also extremely high quality. The turkey varieties are all from the farm itself and you can get turkey: cutlets, grillers, burgers, hotdogs, kielbasa, ground, sliced etc. The sliced turkey is not the yucky, slimy stuff like you'd find in traditional grocery stores, but actual sliced turkey breast. They also sell Thanksgiving turkeys which I'd high recommend, and make sure to order way ahead of time because they're popular!
The people working there are all so friendly and nice. I have been going for years and years and have never once had a bad experience with any of the employees! It's a family owned business and the family is among those who work there.
On Fridays, they have Amish folks from Lancaster County come and sell baked goods outside the store. The baked goods, as one might expect, are nothing short of mouthwatering! They have breads, pies, cookies, whoopie pies, etc.
Lastly, often prices tend to be quite steep for local, healthy, or high quality ingredients. This isn't the case with Bolton's. I actually compared the price of feta cheese at Bolton's to the grocery store, and Bolton's was CHEAPER. I can't say this is the case for all items, I believe the deli meat may run a bit more expensive, but honestly it's well worth it. Dairy, produce, and pantry items are all comparable to normal grocery store prices, and likely cheaper if you were to get wholesome/organic items at the grocery store.
Bolton's makes being healthy easy, and grocery shopping simple. Always a pleasure stopping in there and highly recommend this business!
