These are the BEST cherries. Don't balk at the price...they are better than candy. At Monnettes
By RSL Staff
Let’s face it, our area is blessed with some great local markets. This week we visited Walt Churchill’s Market at Briarfield, Sautter’s Market in Sylvania, and Monnettes on Reynolds. Each of these great local markets has additional locations throughout the area and are worth a walk through. Besides being local owned and supportive of local and regional producers, they are also gold mines for outside the box items that will impress any audience, from small fireworks gathering to big and booming parties.
We love WCM, both on Briarfield and in Perrysburg. First, they are an excellent resource for organic, non-GMO, and gluten free. Second, they carry cool stuff. From interesting, small craft mustards and BBQ sauces to their own smokehouse, WCM delivers as a true Americana market.
BBQ and spice rubs at WCM. Lots of choices!
WCM smokehouse is amazing. Besides the usual sausages check out things like in house franks and braunschweiger
Local wines at WCM
WCM has a growing selection of local and regional wines. Many are perfect chilled for summer
AT WCM you never know when you will come across something new and amazing. In this case BBQ sauce
No one has this good of selection of cooking and BBQ sauces. Ready for the adventurous outdoor cook at WCM
Rothschild is an Ohio company. Perfect for spreading on grilled crostini at WCM
Just a few of the mustards available at WCM. Forget the yellow stuff. Hot dogs just got serious
Picles and relishes are a must for summer. WCM has a great selection, including McClures out of Detroit
WCM has a great olive and pickle bar. Right next to it is a salad bar. Kind of a “win-win”
Another surprise at WCM. Sparkling juice for a picnic or BBQ
We think that Sautter’s might be the coolest stealth market in town. First, try their in house potato salad. Also, they carry an amazing selection of specialty, regionally produced chips and snacks. Their bakery is good, they have local craft beers, and they have unusual sodas guaranteed to elevate any picnic. Locations in Sylvania and Whitehouse
Charley now makes corn chips. Carried at Sautter’s we particularly like the “chow-em” reference

Monnettes
Monnettes markets have 3 things going for them. They are small, they work hard to stock local produce, and they care. Staff at Monnettes will actually talk to you. We had a very serious discussion about seedless Concord grapes which resulted in a purchase . Plus Monnettes deli is amazing. Locations on Secor, Reynolds, and Glendale.
Monnettes is always a fresh produce adventure. Take Chayote Squash as an example.
Kusa is similar to summer squash or zucchini, it has a firm texture and is perfect in salads or sautés.Local grown at Monnettes

The mini cukes at Monnettes are NOT pickles…they are better.
