Whispering Pines Fruit Farm & Country Market

They have frequent gluten free options across the store but since it’s a bargain store you have to check dates closely and it probably will not be there again on your next trip. They do offer some gluten free baked goods made in house but they have warnings that everything is made together in the bakery so cross contamination is guaranteed. I stop frequently when I have a craving for whoopie pies and personally have o my gotten sick from them once or twice in 10+ times of buying them.

I struggled to rate this market/grocery store. (Note, this is a market, not a restaurant.) It’s a lovely market. Lots of local fresh fruit, deli meats, and grocery items. They have a well-priced bargain section.

Unfortunately, they clearly state that their gluten free baked goods WILL be cross contaminated. So it’s not worth making a special trip for if you’re looking for special gluten free things. However, if you’re in the neighbourhood and looking for more varieties of peaches and apples than you’ve ever seen, this is a great place!

Celiac friendly?
