Where "Love" is the First Ingredient.
Annie’s Country Pantry in Racine, WI, is a distinctive business. The business is both a "food processing plant"-recognized by the State of Wisconsin and the FDA, and a commercial retail store offering customers various unique recipes and food. With over 175 recipes of jams, jellies, salsas, pickled items and pie fillings, Annie was blessed to have learned how to can at a young age. Many of the recipes Annie has are "heirloom" recipes and boast over 130 years of existence. "Those recipes have fed generations...and, should I have the ability to continue, it's my dream to teach my grandchildren this valuable skill. " Annie and Ron have many recipes which are held in place by their Will, and these will be handed down to their grandchildren in order that more familial generations will hold them into the future. Customers can find something that will suit their taste. Annie's Country Pantry strives to produce "clean foods" and will never use additives or preservatives.
Annie’s passion for creating these recipes started during her youth in 1972, when she began to learn from her grandmother Lena. One of the most incredible memories dates to 1972, when she learned to create a delicious corn recipe.
At Annie’s Pantry, customers can find natural food, local honey, homemade salsas, gluten-free and dairy-free products, and vegan options. You can also purchase old-fashioned candy at the store and the best chocolates in town, produced by David Bradley Chocolatiers.

We carry items which are Vegan, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, GMO Free, Nut Free, and the list grows. Finding good "clean foods" is an arduous chore. For every product that Annie carries in her store, she may sample 20 or more products, before finding the one she finds meets most of the qualities she seeks to offer her customers.
Annie will design your custom gift baskets and charcuterie boards. The store supports local vendors such as the woodworker, Ed, owner of Cheese Lab Designs, who offers complementary products, including charcuterie boards which can be custom engraved by Ed, himself.

Annie has 5 different Salsas, a Mexicana Brand which is a "typical" salsa. The heat level ranges from Mild-Medium, Hot and the Bomb-where Annie adds 22 different peppers creating the "Bomb" flavor. "It's all about the flavor, not to "play chicken" with, but to savor the taste and full body of the tomatoes, peppers and other fresh ingredients which she uses.
Annie has just perfected her Signature Sauce-Pineapple Habanero in both mild and hot levels. She recently was approved to manufacture a "Reduced Sugar" version of the Pineapple Habanero sauce. The same day Annie brought to the Market the Reduced Sugar version she added four more jams. These jams are for the Sweet and Savory lovers. Currently they are made in Bing Cherry, Pineapple, Peach, Blackberry, Strawberry and Raspberry, with more flavors to come. Annie feels confident that these jams, peppered along with some of her other ingredients will be the beginning sauces and jams for her entry into the local grocery store market. The first store to carry Annie's items was "Malicki's Piggly Wiggly," located at 5201 Washington Avenue in Racine, WIsconsin. Unfortunately, Malicki's Piggly Wiggly was closed permanently and the products can only be sold at her store at 3212 Washington Avenue.

I highly recommend trying the salsas. Many varieties to choose from. My personal favorite is the black bean salsa.
The jams are amazing too.

Annie’s Country Pantry has a very inviting atmosphere. You will be welcomed by friendliness and genuine old-fashioned attention. The products I have purchased (jams and salsas) are far superior in taste and consistency than mass produced brands I see no need to purchase again !! Annie’s Country Pantry is definitely a welcome addition to the West Racine shopping district.

Very friendly and helpful. Creating a gift basket was easy. They even shrink wrapped it and added a bow while we waited. Definitely a welcome addition to West Racine. She even carries some small grocery items like milk and eggs. One stop shopping.
