In the heart of Murfreesboro there is a magical place called the Hamery…read more It all started when my BF and I sat down to eat at an establishment in Nashville, and our server gave us a sample of something called "Tennshootoe." It's the best version of prosciutto that I've ever had... smoked and then aged for 2 years and it literally melts in your mouth. The craving for more began, and we were sad to learn it is located in Murfressboro. Curses! After a failed Whole Foods visit, we gave up and made the trip down to Murfreesboro on a Saturday morning. The storefront is small, but the flavor and hams are not. They offer whole hams, sliced ham, frozen biscuits, dog bones, ham hocks, Tennshootoe, preserves, and very awesome (and reasonably priced) gift boxes. For $30 you get the following: * Cooked, 1 package artisan country ham weighing approx. 1 lb * Black-eyed peas (dried) * Artisan country ham hock * Strawberry preserves (1 pint jar) * Honey (6 oz) * Sweet pickles (1 pint jar) And the lovely ladies at the store let us mix and match products (ie chow chow instead of pickles, and different flavor of preserves). If you or your loved ones enjoy ham, you've got to check them out! Its even worth a drive to the 'boro.

This is a great little Mediterranean grocery store. It's small but has a lot of treasures if you…read morelike Mediterranean food, spices, and gifts. A buddy and I went in yesterday hoping they had a little restaurant in the back of the store. I had read on YELP that many people had enjoyed shopping here and since I love to cook Middle Eastern food, I wanted to see if they had some spices I was looking for. I found a number of things I wanted, spices, dates (the fruit), olive oil that is amazing by the way, peppers, fresh lamb in the meat case, grape leaves, pita, etc. but unfortunately there wasn't a restaurant in the back of the store. But that's ok, I did find a place to pick up things when I need them, and a lot closer to home. I will be back for sure!!!

A bit of disappointment. As with most niche grocery stores you don't go for the fresh veg. The…read morevegetables here were pretty rough. It was a bit difficult to find seasoning... in sizes you would use at home. Staff not willing to help meet your need.

A menu of food! Jerk chicken, jollof, waakye, oxtails, curry goat, peanut soup! Watch Mark Weins in Nigeria and you'll see lots of this food. I can't wait to come back and try the food here. So excited to see this in Murfreesboro! Our food diversity quotient just improved

I visited the store and was very pleased with the selection of frozen foods including different greens, some fresh produce and all kinds of smoked and frozen fish. The vast inventory of cooking oils was especially good and the variety of packaged products was overwhelming. I am extremely happy that I do not have to travel all the way to Nashville to get what I want anymore. I understand there may also be cooked food in the future. A Facebook page would be nice, too. The young man who helped me make my purchases was very nice and professional. I will enjoy visiting this store on a regular basis!

This is an awesome little Asian market owned and operated by the same people who own Pad Thai Cafe…read more From what I heard, they were originally going to expand the restaurant, but had some problems from the city government and decided to just make it a market instead. That doesn't bother me in the least, this is a great market with a number of unique finds. Sure I wish that they could have added more seating to my favorite Lao Restaurant in Murfreesboro, but I am also excited about having another great Asian Market in town. They have great snacks you can come in and get too like fully cooked and ready to dive into Lao sausage, a great assortment of seafood, meat, desserts, cookies and sweets, and many item that are a little more rare and hard to find. Next time you're in the area, go by and support this wonderful new market and your friends at Pad Thai Cafe!

The pantry is made up of carefully selected items that you would find in Joe's kitchen. He stands by everything that his shop sells 100%. The Gourmet Pantry represents so many regions as far as Argentina and as close as New Jersey. This shop is all Joe - an eclectic blend of tastes that suits all of your kitchen needs from balsamic vinaigrette, wide array of artisanal sweets, red peppers, butters, grits and so much more. And this is only the beginning! I'm in awe by Joe's tenacity to see his vision become a reality and am looking forward to seeing his brand at local markets across the city as well as the shop's special events coming in the near future.

They are truly farm to table, local support and making some of the best (top 3 in my life) freshly made, small batch, organic fermentation products. I bought 2 kinds of Tempeh, 2 kinds of sauerkraut, kimchi, ginger beer, garlic chili sauce, veggies and freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookies. What can I say except, OMG!!! The tempeh was a so delicious and I was able to try a version I never had before; split pea style. Again... so delicious. Best sauerkraut ever. I mean it.... my wife and I devoured the whole bottle with the meal we made. Not overly sour but super flavorful. Garlic chili sauce/paste is my go to for my marinades and as a dipping sauce. Perfect amount of heat with big flavor. Ginger beer has a big kick and goes down very nicely. I am headed back for some root beer too. The cookies did have a chance... the smell got me while I was pulling out of the parking lot. I bought 2 but wished for 10 more. Yep, that good.
