It was started by a hardworking farmer named Sam and his wife Sally. It's now operated by their sons Glen and Steve. A third generation of young Ikedas are also often in their store stocking shelves, serving burgers, and working as cashiers.

Ikeda's has a reputation for their dessert pies and farm fresh fruits and veggies. Many folks also stop in and buy their prepared whole chickens to cook at home.

The salsa and dip bar is out of this world. You can try all the flavors before you commit to the one you would like to buy. Tasting all these flavors is a treat!
