We saw a tiny billboard just off 31 recommending Hansen's asparagus, bratwurst, and lots of wine. Let's!
The produce was labeled local, and tasty, as a small but mighty produce section should be. Seasonal strawberries and ripe avocados were just the first bonus. The wine section was decent for such a small grocery, including some of Michigan's own. Beer wasn't large as wine, but wasn't limited to Bud and Coors--and still a good selection for a small store, and a local brewery's s just down the road.
You're in a smaller grocery, but what a deli! If you're not local Hansen's makes it easy, with plenty of pre-sliced selections or ordering a sandwich from the numbered menu. No need to explain yourself, just order like you're picking lotto numbers. Our subs were only $1 per inch, and yes you can get cheddar instead of Swiss on that #2. Tillamook, Cabot, and other yummies are found here while you wait for your sandwiches.
If you're passing through on your way to the lake, this is the oasis to stop by. Enjoy your sandwiches in the shade of a cottonwood tree on the Silver Lake dunes. Then feel less sore that night with a bottle of red or whatever by the campfire.
Whenever we're lucky enough to come back to the dunes, we'll come here too.
