Reflecting on 2021 at Dutch Country General Store

While reflecting on 2021 at Dutch Country General Store, we realize that it's been a great year. Join us as we look back at some of our favorite memories and events!

Thank You

We've had our challenges, as most small businesses had in this economy. We want to thank you for supporting our small business. We take pride in employing a host of people who live and work in Iowa and Missouri.

Thank you for being understanding when we come up short on a product you are looking for. Our team is truly amazing and they have worked really hard all year long and we will continue to do so!

We look forward to what 2022 will bring and we can't wait to share the fun with all of our customers.

Making Memories

The kids, and my lovely wife Erica, had so much fun participating in Hannibal's Living Windows this Christmas season! There were even some serious Chess games going on as the girls decorated the tree with popcorn and read stories. Straight from the Victorian era was our theme, and it was lovely to spend time with the family in beautiful historic downtown Hannibal!

Oh the Fun We've Had

To kick off Spring, we thought we'd bring you Levi's Crazy Days. This was the first year for Hannibal and the 9th anniversary for our Bloomfield location.

With the many fun activities, it was nothing short of a fun-filled weekend that we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a perfect way to ring in the beautiful weather, and celebrate the old-fashioned, family-friendly atmosphere we here at Dutch Country General Store strive for.

Both locations enjoyed caricature artists and as well as live music! Our Bloomfield store also opened its gates to Miller's Petting Zoo. There were ducklings, rabbits, goats, and many more! We are ready to do it all over again in 2022!

At Dutch Country General Store, we are privileged to be able to give back to our communities in both the Hannibal and Bloomfield areas. It would not be possible without our wonderful customers who continue to stop by our stores each year.

We love to see some of the same faces and new ones too! Whether you're traveling through the rolling hills of Iowa to somewhere new or coming to the historic downtown Hannibal, we believe we all thrive when we work together. Here are some of the great organizations we were able to partner with in 2021.

Thanks for reflecting on 2021 at Dutch Country General Store with us! We hope to see ya real soon in 2022. Happy New Year and God Bless!

Shopping at Dutch Country General Store

My family has a lot of fun holiday traditions! One of my favorites is making a gingerbread house with my grandma. We build one together every year along with numerous other family members.

This year I wanted to get a lot of my decorating candy at Dutch Country General Store. They always have a lot of fun, unique candy, especially for Christmas! Some of the things I chose were:

  • Reindeer Food (peanuts and Christmas-colored candy corns) - I was able to use the peanuts for my walkway and the candy corns for the roof of my shed. 
  • Frosty’s Favorite Mix (kind of like Puppy Chow) - I used this for the roof of the gingerbread house and as an ornate window on the front. I love how it looks like snow!
  • Christmas Fruit Snacks - I used the little white snowmen and red and green trees by the front door to make it look welcoming.
  • Mini M&Ms - These were perfect for creating a wreath for the front door.
  • Gum Drops - I knew I had to use this traditional decorating candy! I chose to only use the Christmas-colored ones all around the gingerbread house and roof.
  • Cinnamon Hard Candy - I used these to create a fence and wrapped it around my whole gingerbread yard.
  • Old-fashioned Hershey Bar - I used this for the shutters on my windows.
  • Shredded Coconut - I used it to add a soft snowy texture all over my little gingerbread scene.

Family Traditions with Grandma

My grandma bakes the gingerbread from scratch and uses patterns to create the correct shapes - we love to eat the scrap pieces! Then together, we frost the edges of each piece and place them together. To support each side of our house while the frosting dries, we use soup cans. Once our gingerbread house is built, the fun part begins!

Decorating my house is my favorite part because I get to be creative. Mixing and matching all the candies I chose is fun! As I decorate, my family helps me think of ways I can use the various candies. I love how my house looked when it was finished!

Christmas Memories with the Goods

Christmas in Iowa. Christmas in the United States of America. Christmas around the world.  There are many unique traditions and recipes. But what do we have in common? Memories. Good memories.

Childhood Memories

One of my cherished childhood memories began with disappointment.  An anticipated out-of-state visit to my Dad’s family was canceled on Christmas Eve due to a sudden heavy snowstorm.  We woke up Christmas morning with no presents (we’d opened them earlier in preparation for the trip), no Christmas dinner, and no plans.  So, my Dad took all six of us children traipsing through the snowy countryside.  It was a wonderland of glitter, snow, and ice.  Back home, we tumbled in the door; cold, laughing, and ravenous. Somehow, in the few hours we were gone, my mom had the dining room table decorated with Christmas cheer and piled with aromatic food.  I was speechless.  The magic of Christmas.

Now, twenty years later, I am privileged to see the wonder of Christmas in my children’s eyes.  This week I asked them for their favorite Christmas events.  Here they are: “opening presents”,  “going to Grandma’s”,  “watching everyone else open presents - especially the ones I gave them”, "reading the Christmas story together in front of the fire", “making Christmas cookies”,  “school break”, “decorating for Christmas”.

Here are two activities, leading up to the holidays, that our family loves to do - baking and games.

Sugar Cookies Recipe

Baking

I often take a whole day off just to make Christmas cookies and candy with my children. Here’s a favorite recipe: Cut-out Sugar Cookies

Need cookie cutters, baking tools, or baking ingredients?  Find them at Dutch Country General Store, in person, or online.

Good Children

Games

Levi and I love to play games with our 5 children, ages 9,8,6,3, and 7 months. The older ones love chess, Dominoes, Suspend, Monopoly, Boggle, and puzzles.  The younger ones love Old Maid, Memory, simple puzzles, Uno, and Buildzi.

Don’t tell the kids, but on Christmas Day I want to introduce them to another classic, marbles.

2021 Holiday Gift Guide

Christmastime has come again! As most of you know, this is our favorite time of year here at Dutch Country General Store. We are once again able to bring you all the gifts and goodies you expect that will help make your family gatherings and celebrations just a little brighter. After a strange and complicated Christmas of 2020, all of our time together this Christmas will be even better and a little more special.

We are excited to share that to kick off the holiday season, we just mailed out our 2021 Holiday Gift Guide, and we’d love to give you a sneak peek of what’s inside. Within our newest catalog, you’ll find new and exciting things we’ve added to our website just in time for the holidays, as well as many tried and true brands we consider must-haves for any holiday gathering.

As you look through the pages in our 2021 Holiday Gift Guide, we encourage you to pick out a few items that will bring you and your family some added joy this Christmas. Our team always puts so much work into our catalogs and into shipping orders to you - so we hope you find something you’ll love.

Dutch Country Favorites

In the first few pages of the catalog, you’ll find an assortment of favorites and great gift items from Levi and all of us here at Dutch Country. First, 19 items Levi loves including a 1955 Chevy Stepside Pickup Pullback. It may be a toy, but it's just as much fun for adults as it is for children! Next, you’ll find stocking stuffers, where we feature items we know will fit perfectly inside all your stockings this holiday season. We recommend an all-around customer favorite, Tiny Sampler Jams. At only $1.99, they’re perfect for everyone on your list! We follow that up with a variety of gift ideas and gift sets that we know are sure to please!

Our Holiday Entertaining spread breaks down a few must-have meal essentials. These items are top sellers here at Dutch Country General Store and make a great asset to any meal. From appetizers to sweet treats to meal items, and even kitchenwares to serve all your favorites, we’ve got you covered!

Catalog Spread - Holiday Entertaining

Old-Fashioned Candy and Sweet Treats

Pages 10 - 18 are filled with old-fashioned candy and sweet treats. Pages 12-14 are especially exciting as they feature our new line of Hammond’s candy - oversized lollipops, candy bars, handmade marshmallows, pantry candy tins, taffy, and candy ribbon. You will definitely want to try these old-fashioned favorites while they’re around for the holiday season.

On page 15 you’ll learn all about the traditional Peppermint Pig. They come with a hammer and pouch - choose from two styles 8oz. Noel or 16oz. Clarence. Often a pig represents good health, happiness, and prosperity, especially in Victorian culture. It is filled with peppermint candy very similar to a delicious candy cane. Back in the “olden days” when families gathered together at Christmas for the holiday meal, the tradition was to break the Peppermint Pig™ after dinner (inside a small cloth pouch) using a miniature hammer. All family members would then share in eating the sweet candy pieces, hoping for good fortune in the coming year. We love the idea of sharing this treat with friends and family and hope you will too!

Old Fashioned Candy
Hammonds

Your One-Stop Pantry Shop

On pages 19 - 23 you’ll find a glimpse of some of the delicious food items we have to offer. From jar and bulk goods, we have what you need to fix a delicious Christmas meal. We even offer refrigerated meats, cheeses, and butter too! An employee favorite around here is Mrs. Miller's Noodles. They come in a variety of flavors such as Garlic Parsley and Spinach and are packed with flavor and are cholesterol-free. Use these noodles in main pasta meals and casseroles for a colorful twist on your usual recipe.

Have you tried our Elmwood Inn Teas or Grand Marceline Coffees yet? Elmwood Inn developed an international reputation as one of America’s favorite locations for afternoon tea. Although their tearoom is no longer open, Elmwood Inn still serves thousands of people worldwide. They offer a variety of tea flavors - don’t miss their holiday flavor, Christmas in a Cup Black Tea. Grand Marcheline’s coffees are roasted in Walt Disney’s Hometown in Victorian-era roasters. Treat yourself to a bag to enjoy on Christmas morning, or treat a loved one to one of their delicious flavors, such as their Salted Caramel Ground Coffee. Not a coffee lover? That’s okay, they have Gourmet Cocoa too! Don’t forget to top your drinks with some delicious honey too!

Pages 36 - 39 offer some exciting, completely new items - tabletop decor, wall decor, baby announcement sets, kitchen decor, and so much more!

Best of Missouri Life

2021 Missouri Life Magazine’s Best of the Best

Dutch Country General Store - Hannibal, MO

During our time in Hannibal, Missouri, we have felt incredibly honored to have been invited to participate in Missouri Life Magazine’s Discover the Best of Missouri Life Awards. For the second year in a row, thanks to our amazing customers, we are humbled to have been named ‘Best Country Store’. Additionally, this year we are even more humbled to learn that we are also being recognized as 2021 Missouri Life Magazine’s ‘Best of the Best’.

Best Places to Visit in the Show-me State

Earlier this year, Missouri Life Magazine, a top publication that specializes in all things Missouri, asked its readers to vote for their favorite places to visit throughout the state. Each year the publication presents a list of top businesses, ranging across a number of categories, and asks for readers to vote!

  • Dutch Country General Store
  • Dutch Country General Store
  • Dutch Country General Store
  • Dutch Country General Store
  • Dutch Country General Store
  • Dutch Country General Store

It is truly an honor to have been nominated and chosen as the best within our category, ‘Best Country Store’! To be listed among these other fantastic shops and attractions is something our staff definitely does not take for granted.  We are extremely grateful to know our customers voted the Hannibal Dutch Country General Store as one of the "best" experiences in the Show-me State.

The popular magazine also gives the title of “Best of the Best” to the business that receives the most votes across all categories. In 2021, we are elated to learn that we also have been awarded with this honor!

“We are deeply humbled by both of these awards. We know there are a ton of other choices out there for shoppers, and our team strives to consistently exceed customer expectations for the best possible experience!”

- Levi

Thank you to Missouri Life Magazine

At the conclusion of the competition, Missouri Life Magazine shared the results and a summary about each of the category winners. Thank you for your kind words, Missouri Life Magazinehttps://missourilife.com/discover-the-2021-best-of-missouri-life-awards/!

“The shop in downtown Hannibal opened in April of 2020 and is more than a general store. Sure, you can find candy by the barrels, imagination toys for kids, home goods, even freshly made sandwiches to order, coffee, or a free ice cream cone, but we also strive to build community and provide an experience that brings to mind simpler times. When you stop by, make sure and check out the new mural on the side of the building that pays homage to northeast Missouri’s agricultural heritage and the Honor Flight, both of which are near and dear to Levi Good, the owner.”

 

Come see us!

Thank you again to all of our amazing customers for choosing us to be 2021 Discover the Best of Missouri Life Awards ‘Best of the Best’. We are grateful for each and every one of you and humbled to be a small part of what this great state has to offer.

Be sure to stop in and say hello to our store manager, Kathy, along with our extraordinary team and grab yourself a free ice cream cone, some free popcorn, or a free coffee. Our Hannibal location is open 7 days a week. We hope to see ya real soon!

Insights from Customer Service

Customer Insights from Noelle

I have been privileged to serve as a DCGS customer service representative for a little more than a year now. During that time, I have talked to so many people from all over the United States. Many are surprised to get an actual person on the other end of the line.

It is my pleasure to be able to help folks when they call in - whether it be a product question, to help place an order, a personal dilemma, or a plethora of other things. Along the way, I have taken note of some questions that customers have asked, and I’d love to share them with you. We hope you will find these insights from Customer Service helpful!

The Perfect Knives & Utensils

I have received many, many calls with questions about our knives and cutlery brands. We at Dutch Country General Store are proud to carry Rada Cutlery knives & utensils which are high-quality products and made right here in the USA! I talk with many happy Rada users each week - I always enjoy hearing stories and feedback about our products.

Some have told me stories about accidentally throwing away their favorite Rada paring knife or stories about someone borrowing and never returning their favorite product. Our customers love their Rada knives and are understandably upset when these things happen! They are relieved when they call and I can help them find what they are looking for and assist them to place a new order.

I often receive questions about how to care for Rada Cutlery. The black handle design is dishwasher safe, however, I recommend hand washing and drying them. Do not place silver handled pieces in the dishwasher - the dishwasher can tarnish them.

Personal Dilemmas

Sometimes, I also get calls from customers asking for insights from Customer Service with personal dilemmas. While not always product-related, I’m still happy to help our customers find a solution to whatever problem they may be facing.

A man once called who had cut himself shaving and accidentally got a drop of blood on his clothes. He asked what he could use to get the stain out. I don’t usually consider myself a stain removing pro by any means, but I tried to think of something to help. Although bleach, a known MVP of stain removal, would likely get it out, it is known to also remove the coloring from clothing. In this case, I suggested running the stain under the cold water faucet.

If you have a stain that has had a chance to set in, you can try washing it on the cold setting in the washing machine. If you feel extra pretreating is needed, try applying laundry detergent to the stain and allowing it some time to sit. After 10-15 minutes, wash your garment.

Tip: It is always wise to check your clothing tags for proper care of your garment. Also, the dryer can further set-in stains, so always try to wash the stain out completely before drying.

Free Shipping over $25!

At Dutch Country General Store, we offer free shipping for orders $25 or more.  Sometimes I help customers with orders that are oh-so-close to that $25, and they need a suggestion to get them there. Here are a few suggestions if you find yourself in a similar predicament:

Have something else in mind and only a few dollars away from free shipping? Give me a call and I’d be happy to help you find something you’re sure to love!

We Love Our Customers

My favorite part about my job is getting to know our customers and hearing their stories.

Stories about family, stories about pets, stories about life lessons and years of memories - they are truly conversations I enjoy.

One of my favorite memories was a conversation I had with a loyal customer while I was taking her order. She was in her 90s and had lots of memories to share about her life. We discussed when she met her husband, a member of the British Royal Navy. Then we talked about their life in England before returning to the United States. She told me how they used to participate in ballroom dancing competitions, among other memorable life experiences - what a fascinating life they lived!

So whether you’re calling for help replacing that lost Rada utensil, looking for a best-selling candy item, needing help with a dilemma, or trying to get over that $25 threshold, I’m always happy to help! I’ll gladly listen to your story and do the best I can to help you. If I miss you, please leave a voicemail and I’ll always return your call.

On behalf of myself and all of us here at Dutch Country General Store - we love our customers! I hope you enjoyed these insights from Customer Service!

Levi’s Crazy Days 2021

Levi's Crazy Days Deals & Fun!

Levi’s Crazy Days 2021 commenced at our Bloomfield and Hannibal locations on Friday, April 30th, and Saturday, May 1st with a weekend full of laughter, family fun, and crazy good deals throughout the store. The smell of homemade sandwiches filled the air, while the children scampered in to beat the heat and grab one of our free ice cream cones. The samples were flowing and introducing customers to some of the delicious foods we have. Families far and wide pulled in to find themselves greeted with many fun family-filled activities.

Live Entertainment and Incredible Deals

Things kicked off on Friday with live music by Tom Shadonix playing fiddle and guitar at our Bloomfield location. His folk music tickled the ears of all who walked through our doors. His folksy tunes could be heard the very next day at our Hannibal location, setting the old-fashioned feel ablaze.

The lively tempo added to the atmosphere as customers were greeted with unbelievable $10 doorbusters and incredible deals. Cast iron cookware, housewares, and inflatable outdoor toys were amongst the many discounts to be found. For those that enjoy the thrill of chance, our enter to win door prizes were the perfect opportunity. Topping the prize ladder, our grand prize consisted of many tasty and unique items that were featured on Dutch Country Kitchen, hosted by none other than our very own Erica Good and Billboard recording artist Diana Upton-Hill. For our younger customers, our “Look for Levi'' themed coloring sheet allowed them to showcase their creativity, and be entered for a chance to win a fun prize of their own!

Bloomfield Location Welcomed Miller’s Petting Zoo

As the event got rolling, Miller’s Petting Zoo opened its gates for the families at our Bloomfield location to come and experience the joys of the farm with their adorable array of baby animals. From baby goats to chicks and ducklings and one of the largest bunny rabbits we had ever seen, there was something for everyone. The joy on the faces of the kids was infectious. As the giggling echoed, the sounds of the animals were the perfect accompaniment.

Caricature Artist Fun

For visitors who wanted a more artistic memento to remember all of the crazy fun, our caricature artists Bill Beard (Bloomfield) and Jeff Niffen (Hannibal) were the guys to see! Putting a wacky spin on self-portraits, each customer had the chance to grab a free drawing. The artists swiftly and with the utmost ease, brushed their markers across their canvas and created drawings that captured the likeness of each person, and put a smile on everyone’s face.

High School Graduate Spotlight

Congratulations to our 2021 Graduates

We are extremely happy to congratulate the members of our team that are graduating this year.

We love all of our team members here at Dutch Country General Store and we’re blessed to be able to share these major milestones with them. Congratulations to the class of 2021!

Wilson Brennemann

Wilson Brennemann is graduating from Palmyra High School in Palmyra, MO. He started working at Dutch Country General Store in June of 2020 and is part of our stocking and inventory management team at our Hannibal location. Wilson will attend Truman State University in Kirksville, MO to study Business/Finance.

Wilson's favorite thing about working at DCGS is the workplace culture that Dutch County provides.

"We are a family. It makes going to work fun and enjoyable."

The team has developed relationships that go farther than just the workplace. We have become friends.

Wilson is quiet, but has such a fun wit that will just sneak up and surprise you in a great way! He is always willing to help with any project and he is so great at interacting with customers when he happens to be on the floor stocking. You can often find him taking a minute from his work to have a great conversation with our store visitors.

Senior photo

Jay Froah

Jay Froah has been in Order Fulfillment with Dutch Country General Store for 2 years. After graduation, he plans to attend Faith Baptist Bible College for 2 years of Biblical Studies.

Jay’s favorite thing about Dutch Country has been the ability to try and learn new things.

“My time here has given me multiple different job opportunities.”

Lately, Jay can be found in our warehouse processing online orders (a.k.a. playing with stuffed animals and resisting the urge to eat all the food). He also enjoys interacting with customers at the register and on the poly furniture lot. Jay consistently brings a positive attitude and strong work ethic to any department he works in. We are so grateful to have someone like Jay on our team. He contributes to the uplifting and loving environment we strive for!

Senior photo

Xander Price

Xander Price is a Warehouse Associate and has been with Dutch Country General store for 2 years. After graduation, he plans to attend Indian Hills Community College for business trades.

Xander loves that his job allows him to drive to various locations and interact with different people.

"I really enjoyed driving products and materials around to different sites. It is fun to help a company grow!"

Xander is one of the silent engineers who work to keep all the rides roaring at our 'amusement park'! Primarily working behind the scenes in the warehouse or driving around, Xander is one of the hardest-working people you could ever meet. He is usually pretty quiet and likes to just come in and work, but anyone lucky enough to catch a Xander smile is sure to have their day brightened! We love having Xander on the team and are excited to celebrate his work with the whole town!

Senior photo

At Dutch Country General Store, our team members are like family - so when it comes to important milestones like high school graduation, we could not be happier for Wilson, Jay, and Xander. We are excited to see what the future holds for these bright, young individuals. If you see them around, be sure to congratulate them!
