The Old Country Market is famous for their international foods, imported gifts, in store baked goods, and of course, their ice cream. While the food is fabulous, particularly from the Market鈥檚 restaurant, Cuckoo's Trattoria and Pizzeria, the main reason thousands visit Coombs every year is the goats!
