For many home chefs, finding the best high-quality spices can be a real challenge. Grocery stores have the basics, but often don't stock the variety needed to take things to the next level. You can often find what you're looking for on the Internet, but if it's a spice you've never had before, you won't be quite sure what you're getting... not to mention you're stuck waiting for a delivery. That's what makes Townsend Spice & Supply such a great store to visit. This Arkansas spice store offers hundreds of varieties of rubs, blends, cures, and seasonings to help bring anyone's cooking to the next level.
This cozy shop is located in the small town of Melbourne, Arkansas. It's about a two-hour drive north of Little Rock, but once you taste your cooking after using the products from Townsend Spice & Supply, you'll realize the trip was worth it.
Inside there is a wide variety of spices and blends. You'll find classics like cumin and cinnamon, but also complex mixes that are unique to the store.
Originally established in 1978 at a smaller location, the friendly staff at Townsend Spice & Supply mixes their own unique blends on site.
Home cooks will be happy to find that the store offers a variety of cooking ingredients and tools. Grills, cookbooks, flour, rice, and honey are among the offerings that will allow customers to get the most out of the home cooking experience.
The store is open on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For those who are not able to make the trip to Arkansas, Townsend Spice & Supply also sells online.
You could visit Townsend Spice & Supply and just walk away with some pepper. Or you could innocently walk in and leave two hours later with a new grill, cookbook, and multiple spice blends. It's all about making the most out of your visit, and they truly have whatever you'd need to get the most out of your barbeque experience (and y'all know how we love Arkansas barbecue!).
