Good food starts with neighbors who care
From our oven to your table — we've been baking fresh bread, stocking seasonal produce, and keeping Kalona fed for years. This is your corner market, made better by the people who shop here.
A market that feels like home
Stringtown Grocery sits on a quiet stretch of road in Kalona, where the kind of shopping you used to know still exists. No rush, no noise — just good food and the chance to run into someone you know.
We started as a small bakery with a big oven and a simple idea: bake bread the way it should be baked, and stock your pantry with things you actually want to eat. Over the years, that grew into a full grocery — but the focus hasn't changed. Quality over quantity, always.
From our bakery and shelves to your table
Everything from warm bread out of the oven to your weekly grocery list — all under one roof.
Fresh Bakery
Bread, rolls, and pastries baked in-house every morning. When it's warm out of the oven, that's when you'll find us busiest.
Seasonal Produce
Fruit and vegetables that actually taste like something, sourced from nearby Iowa farms when the season is right.
Pantry & Staples
The everyday things — flour, sugar, spices, oils, canned goods, and more. Carefully picked so you don't have to think about it.
Dairy & Refrigerated
Milk, cheese, butter, and cold cuts — kept fresh and stocked regularly so you can grab what you need without a second thought.
Local Favorites
Things that make this part of Iowa special — honey, preserves, baked goods from neighboring farms, and seasonal specialties.
Household & More
Cleaning supplies, paper goods, and the small things that add up. We keep it simple and useful — nothing you won't actually use.
