We are passionate about providing our customers with not only the staples they need, but also the unique flavors and ingredients that come from supporting local farmers, makers, and businesses. Whether you're stocking up on pantry essentials, exploring fresh seasonal produce, or discovering locally crafted goods, Staple & Fancy is your go-to destination for products you can feel good about. We believe in the power of community and sustainability. Located in downtown Mineral Point, we hope to offer a curated selection of local, sustainable products that support both local farmers and artisans while reducing our environmental footprint. Together, we're building a healthier community and a more sustainable future, one grocery bag at a time.
