An adorable small Indiana town located in bucolic White County, has lots of sass, no make that salsa coming from the kitchen of Two Cooking Sisters on Prairie Street.

The brightly painted store with flower pots overflowing with blooms is stocked filled with Indiana products including the Sisters own line of jams, jellies, pickles, relishes, salsas, nuts and granola. Besides that, pick up such Hoosier foods as Wolf's Chocolates made in nearby Attica, B&B Pit Cooked Pork with Barbecue Sauce from Evansville, the delightfully named Moots Creek Cranberry-Orange Sauce and their Craizinutapple Butter, honey from Wildcat Apiary, Grandma's Garden Pomegranate Jelly and a selection of Victorian House Scones mixes.

Also in downtown Brookston (all two blocks of it) is Klein Brot Haus, a local landmark bakery for the last 30 or so years. Known for their German pastries, fresh fruit and other pies, homemade breads, coffee cakes, tea rings, giant cookies and brownies, the current owners use the same recipes handed down from when the bakery first opened. Stop in at lunch time for the bread and soup bar. There's also a limited menu. The bakery closes around three after the daily coffee klatch leaves.
