The Local Pantry is a quaint little shop that specializes in salads, homemade freezer meals, fresh farm eggs and other local items and gifts. Stop by the Local Pantry and see what they have to offer! (1.) Frozen Meals - homemade has never been so easy! We have a large variety of freezer meals. Made from scratch right here in our kitchen. Ready for you to take home and cook in your oven or crockpot. (2.) Salads - Broccoli Bacon, Macaroni, and Potato are some of the salads you will find available on a regular basis. Other salads are available seasonally or upon request. (3.) Gifts and more - Handcrafted soaps and lotions, woven rugs, aprons, and melted wine bottles are some of the gift items you will find here at The Local Pantry.
