I highly recommend trying the salsas. Many varieties to choose from. My personal favorite is the black bean salsa.
The jams are amazing too.

Annie’s Country Pantry has a very inviting atmosphere. You will be welcomed by friendliness and genuine old-fashioned attention. The products I have purchased (jams and salsas) are far superior in taste and consistency than mass produced brands I see no need to purchase again !! Annie’s Country Pantry is definitely a welcome addition to the West Racine shopping district.
