The Veggie Wagon has all of the things your…read morebougie-slash-hippie heart desires: local beer and kombucha on tap, free-range eggs, a coffee bar with bulletproof coffee, freshly ground nut butters, bottles of organic wine, hydroponic butter lettuce, etcetera. It has many if not all of the things you're looking for. During the summer, they even have DIY ice cream sandwiches! Who doesn't want to make and customize their own ice cream sandwich? No one, that's who. There were so many things I wanted to buy when I visited, but I just ended up with a to-go cup of bulletproof coffee, which is basically coffee with butter in it. I don't follow keto eating practices at all, but I do like a good cup of bulletproof coffee, because when it's made right, it's smooth and butterscotchy and delightful. The bulletproof coffee at The Veggie Wagon was all of those adjectives! There's a little produce stand outside of the store, which is quite cute and quaint. When you go inside, you'll see even more locally grown produce items. We were around for tomato and berry season, so that's what was available. There's lots of parking here on the side of the building, and picnic tables out front in case you want to stay a while and enjoy your goodies on site.

This was my first time at this location thanks to an Instagram giveaway! I got to try their…read moretake-out meals. It was a spaghetti squash chicken casserole and it was so delicious. My husband already wants me to go back for more. I stopped in during my lunch break so I wasn't able to spend a lot of time there but they definitely had so many goodies. There was fresh veggies, baked goods, homemade meals, soaps, hats, sauces, art from local artists, candy, beer and so much more. I can't wait to go back.

I love this place. It's my go-to for health supplements and food I trust. BUT.. the cooks/staff at…read morethe café are absolutely miserable. Every time I go I feel unwelcome and they act inconvenienced every time someone goes up to order. It's not just me. The only time they smile is when they are chattering to each other in the kitchen. So all in all, I recommend their grocery area but not their café. I hope they find friendlier staff soon.

I really love Whole Foods. The fruits, vegetables upon walking in the door are all fresh. The isle…read moreare clearly marked and clean. If you are an Amazon prime member they have deals. So, look for the signs Amazon prime member deal. I love the food bar because they have a variety of food for all from Vegan to vegetarians. It is by the weight so be careful lol . The bakery has options as well. Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter they have dinners you can order either online, using the app or in person. Make sure to place your orders early sometimes they run out. The ham and turnkey is delicious! Sides come with the dinners also I particularly like the sweet potato casserole!

The Gas station down the street has a better selection . The Front end head manager treats her employees with no respect I hear all they do is promote WOKE politics They discriminate on who they hire too ! IF YA WOKE, YOU HIRED. So gross !this store need to focus on its customers and value of their food standards and not the value of thier WOKE politics! and labor cost !!!

It's the only market that validates that all the vendors make or grow their own stuff so that means no MLM business or resellers. Wonderful produce, herbal stuff, honey, kombucha and what you can't get at the market you can get at the co-op. Dog friendly too!

So glad this area has its own farmers market now. It's a good spot for one too; lots of space to…read moregrow and fill. The vendors had already doubled in number when i was there last week, and they just started it in May i think. Plus the co-op is right next to it, if you need something else. I hope this town supports it. I miss the farmers markets in California and Durham. These folks have a nice wooden, covered seating area in the middle. I like to grab some field raised sausage for biscuits and gravy, and the wife fills her cambucha growler. His stuff.

This small grocery market is located in the cargo district. Indoor is a small business called Bones…read morethat sells healthier dog treats and upcycle toys. There is also going to be a wine bottle shop inside called Bottles that will open soon. Homegrown sells local products and focuses on sustainability. There wasn't too much variety of produce when I was there. The produce prices are at least twice as much as grocery store prices but they are higher quality/locally grown. There are also "bulk" organic dried herbs and spices, flours, rice, beans and grains, including chickpea flour, sprouted whole grain flour, cacao powder, chia seeds, pink Himalayan salt, baking soda, arrowroot. These are not bulk bins, more of around 32 oz glass sized containers. I imagine if you only need a tablespoon or so of the spice or a cup of beans, this would work out for you. You can bring your own container or they have a glass containers available. Other products are local Taste the Olive olive oil, elderberry syrup, vanilla extract, honey, Kind Cultures, eggs, meats, sweets. For skincare there is bulk deodorant, tooth powder, and tea. Reverse osmosis water is available for $0.40 per gallon or free for single serving refills. This would be good market for those that live close by looking for organic, local, and sustainable products.

I decided to stop into Homegrown when I was in the Cargo district. It is right next to Bottles (a…read moregreat wine and beer spot). Homegrown Market itself is a "grocery store and market featuring local producers with an eye on sustainability and good health." They did have some great items inside and had items that you could bring in your own container to fill up with whatever the item was you were needing. Their produce was limited, but what they had looked fresh and delicious. They also sold many of the products from vendors that I see at the local farmers market at Poplar Grove. It is not necessarily something that I would go out of my way to stop at, however, if I was in the area, I would go back and check it out.
