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.

Mincemeat

I reached a long time to find mincemeat. I found you and so glad I ordered. Your mincemeat is great! I used it in a fruit cake. Now it will make cookies. Thank you. I'll buy again and refer you to friends.

If I could rate higher I would!!

If you liked the None Such mincemeat then you should absolutely buy this. I found it to be quite tasty and not as sweet.
I was very impressed with the flavor and texture and used it to make my mom’s family recipe fruitcake and it turned out fantastic.
I will admit that I was a bit skeptical over having two large jars shipped NH to OH …. Especially during the busy holiday season…but they arrived safely and within a few days of ordering. My skepticism was quickly dismissed. As soon as I opened the box, I knew that I was in for a treat.
The care and attention that was given to the packaging alone was a five star rating.
This product tasted amazing and the quality was excellent.
The price was very reasonable. I thought the shipping cost was a little high but after seeing how well they had them packaged, it truly was worth it and I will most definitely be purchasing it again.

Calef's mincemeat is very good! I am curious about the absence of an ingredient list and nutritional list on the label. The label on our jar had neither! However, my husband loved your mincemeat! It was way too sweet for me, but that's just my opinion. Thanks

Your mincemeat is delicious. So happy to find it online. Couldn't find any brand in our local Florida stores. Will order more. Thank you so much.
