We stopped by The Fresh Market/Farm Fresh located at chatham drive because it was convenient. We found the dry spice package we needed, but the packaging was broken. We went to customer service and spoke with the man in charge, but unfortunately, he told us it was the last one in stock. Since we are not familiar with the area and weren't sure where else to go, we decided to take the broken package and use it anyway--it's a dry spice, so we figured it would be fine. To our surprise, the same gentleman came to the cashier and told her not to charge us--it was free. Even though the cost of the spice wasn't significant, his thoughtfulness and kindness truly impressed us. This kind of gesture doesn't happen often in international markets. He made this Thanksgiving feel even more like Thanksgiving.

My husband and so walked in and saw a small section for fishing. They had a few pairs of boots, fishing items and a couple of misc items. There is a section for beer, chips and simple food items. Nothing to brag about really. It honestly is a place to get your beer, lotto tickets and cigs. The female behind the counter was polite. This place it truly for the locals who have been around a long time. Oddly, I like places like that. There has to be more to this place than what I came across.

At this time of year there's not a lot to choose from in the patch, they make it easy for you by cutting most of them off the vine and bringing them into the store.

A Fife and Drum band played and marched through numerous times and they had a great husband and wife duet singing and playing electric keyboard which added a nice festival feel to the beautiful sunny day with breezes blowing off the river. There are a few shops in the market area including a gift shop, bookstore with great used books, many on local history, some outdoor outfitters and a Ben and Jerry's. I recommend going early. The market starts at 8. We arrived around 930 and it was already very very crowded but luckily we found a parking spot in their small parking garage.

The selection here is immense with a large variety of jarred goods, drinks, dairy products and even meats. I ended up buying a jar of pickled watermelon rinds and sweet potato butter. Both were delicious selections that I haven't really seen anywhere else. The cashier was really nice and bagged my items for me. They only accept Cash or Checks, not CC. This prevented me from grabbing more, so I'd definitely recommend coming prepared with cash so you can get everything you'd like. The prices are fair and cheaper than what you'd find in the grocery store, so it's a decent trade-off for the cash-only model!
