About The Producer

Calef's Country Store

Calef’s Country Store

Established in 1869, Calef's has been "buying local" since Ulysses S. Grant was president.

In 1869, just after the Civil War, Mary Chesley Calef mortgaged her family farm and pledged her savings to open Calef’s Store in the front rooms of her modest home in Barrington NH. Five generations of the Calef family operated Calef’s Big Store until the 1990’s, including Mary’s son Senator Austin Calef. Today the traditions endure as Calef’s Country Store serves the local community as well as visitors from afar. We still pump our own molasses and honey, cheese is aged in our cooler, and our smoked Ham is mouthwatering.

Walk through our doors today and take a step back to a simpler time, when customer service wasn’t a gimmick, but the way things were done.

The wood floors creak with stories of lore, our wood stove warms passersby, the aroma of fresh baked breads and donuts entice even the healthiest of folks.

Jar after jar of penny candy tempts young and old alike.

Our Calef’s brand old fashioned jams, jellies, pickle items, bread and soup mixes offer something for everyone.

The wooden pickle barrel is still a focal point in the store. Our Ginger Snaps are renowned for their bite.

Next time you visit New Hampshire, stop by and pay us a visit, you’ll be glad you did. Store hours and directions.

Replacement for Crosse& Blacwell

I have used C&B mince meat for years. Smuckers bought C&B as well as Nonsuch the 2 main mince meats in the US. Needkess to say I was distraught- tradition on holidays is a key element of the joy of holidays. I bought Robertson and Toptrees. Neither were satisfactory substitutes. A good friend researched Amish mince meat on a hunch and found Calef’s. I ordered it and experimented with additional ingredients- apple, more citrus and a touch of Brandy. It was a hit this Thanksgiving. Actually added a new guest to the mince pie fan group over pecan and pumpkin pies. Until the corporate decision makers at Smuckers start to produce C&B mince meat I think I found an acceptable substitute

MIncemeat

I baked a pie and made mince cookies with it and they were good. I never heard of Calefs until I went mincemeat hunting. It was a great discovery.
