A
Taste of Missouri
Missouri’s artisans and craftsmen are encouraged to "audition" their
wares for inclusion in the offerings of Branson’s newest shopping
experience, A Taste of Missouri, scheduled to open mid-July on
east Hwy. 76.
"We are looking for Missouri’s finest artists, basket makers,
authors, wood carvers, sculptors, potters and craftsmen to add
to our stock that includes our wine tasting, complimentary meat,
cheese and chocolate samples," said Jim Roller, the store’s founder
and national director. "Those who wish to respond to this open call
to be held on Wednesday, July 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. should call
417-338-9463 to make an appointment."
A Taste of Missouri is located at 9308 E. Hwy. 76, Branson West, a
convenient one mile east of Silver Dollar City on historic Hwy. 76.
"We are working hand-in-hand with the Missouri Department of
Agriculture to find some of the state’s finest for A Taste of
Missouri. Guests will enjoy our wine tasting featuring two of the
state’s top wineries, Adam Puchta from Herman and Mount Pleasant
from Augusta. We have sparkling grape juice for the kids," Roller
said.
The store offers samplings of meat, cheese and chocolates as
well. The meat is Missouri grown, corn fed, with a German flavor,
and includes summer sausage, buffalo, 15 types of bratwurst, hickory
and cherry smoked. The cheeses are from Missouri’s own Hiland Dairy
and Lorraine’s of Galena plus a tantalizing variety of cheese
spreads from St. Albens, according to Roller.
"You’ll melt in the decadence of the gourmet chocolates from
Joplin," said Roller. "Remember the icy cold root beer and orange
soda’s from your childhood? Fitz’s from St. Louis will provide us
with those refreshing memories. The coffee shop features coffee
flavors from beans that have been roasted and blended right here in
Missouri."
The list of goodies seems boundless with the homemade jams, jellies,
barbecue sauce, cookies, cinnamon rolls and salad dressings. The
honey is fresh from the hive. Lots of delicious, unique items like
strawberry salad dressing, habanero apple crunch jelly make shopping
an appetizing adventure.
"Soaps, candles, bath and beauty products allow you to pamper
yourself with comforts and flavors from A Taste of Missouri,"
Roller said
