I'm a fan of pretty much everything about Dog Patch. Located just a bit east of Merle Hay Road on…read moreMeredith Drive, they are truly an urban garden. Dog Patch has a few different ventures going - including salad dressings and similar products, as well as (and this is my favorite) operating as a venue for farmstand-to-table dinner events. We've attended a few of these over the past year or so, the most recent being at the start of December and held in one of the greenhouses which had been festively decorated for the occasion. The ingredients for these dinners includes vegetables from Dog Patch as well as other local producers of meat, fruits, honey, and more in keeping with Dog Patch's mission of inspiring the health of humans, the community, and the land through supporting local food and farm-inspired products. Chefs vary from dinner to dinner but all are local and well-selected by owner Jenny and her husband Eric. Things to know about their farmstand-to-table events: * They are bring your own bottle if you want to have alcohol * Booking for each dinner starts well before the event, and usually sell out * Even though I'm obsessed with their dinner events, don't forget to visit their website, or the farm, to see what all they have to offer

We…read morevisited on our first day in town and found our spot, as Fresh Fit Meals checks all the boxes we sought. It starts with the store manager, Jenny, who is a terrific human but also provides great customer service due to her awareness, enthusiasm, and customer service. Her store is roomy, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of parking is adjacent. Multiple tables are inside, and a microwave is available if you're eating in. Many prefer their Grab n Go option. They also have a nutritionist (Becca) on staff to aid your habits and health. The large menu includes identified new items, and they offer local delivery (which we will do once moved). All items are nicely displayed in their wall-length fridge, and there were no sales-type moves by Jenny throughout. I selected the Blackened Cajun Salmon, which was tremendous, aided by delicious greens and mashed potatoes. No doubt, down the line, they will have loyal customers we live here.

I thought it was interesting that there was a window in the meat section that showed dry aged beef. I was surprised to see a small kiosk that can help you find items that you may not know where they are in the store. We came on a Thursday night, a little less than an hour before closing. There were a good amount of premade meals still available to choose from and plenty of baked goods in the bakery. We enjoyed this shopping experience and think I would shop here more often if I lived in this area.

It seems to last longer than that of other grocers in the area. Chicken prices are the cheapest in town, and the dairy is pretty well priced too. If you aren't familiar with what Aldi offers, don't go in there thinking you can get everything you get at HyVee or Fareway. This is a no frills grocery store with basic items. You still have to deposit a quarter for the use of a cart, which you will get back, and you have to pay for bags to put your groceries in, but it's all good. If you know what Aldi has, then you know. If you don't know, that's fine. But don't complain about that they do/don't have. They have what they have a good prices. If it's not for you, go somewhere else.

They have all the basics here all the time and then have specials each week. Come early to get products advertised. The ads come out on Wednesday's.

The goods I have gotten here have all been very good and no problems. Staff is very good here. Family friendly. Lot parking. Very good prices.

Between 400 and 600 PM I grabbed some Hy-Chi and ran a couple other errands. Quite the whiskey selection at this location! The raffle kicked off right at 600 PM and was very well run. The staff was polite and did an awesome job. It was great to get to network and spend some time with others with similar interests. The bourbon community is just that...a community.
