This Whole Foods is no different and I enjoy my regular visits, with the pyramidally stacked fresh fruits, lined up green leafy produce, and front facing 365 products. Is it a bit pricey, yes. Do I sometimes get fruit, veggies, or meat that is well past their prime (pun intended), yes; but, I've been able to return it for a refund (a bit annoying but not a show stopper for me). The ambiance is high-end supermarket with lofted ceilings and sometimes samples--shout out to the fish mongers who kill their salmon sautés! The vast majority of the staff are friendly and helpful, the hot bar nuggets (especially the saucy ones) are on point. I miss the stroopwaffle, which have disappeared from the cookie bar, and I think the pizza has trended slightly downward since the days of mambo chicken pizza, but I haven't been eating it as much. I'll be back.

This location is sparkling clean, spacious & bright!…read more I was shopping for a cake & received service that was prompt & helpful. I ended up buying the Berry Chantilly Cake which was reasonably priced & beautiful in its simplicity. Most importantly, it was a hit at my function. It generously served 30 guests & while I found it to be just a tad dry, no one else noticed. There weren't many berries either (I added more raspberries on top before presenting it) but my guests raved about it nonetheless so it was a win in my book.

Located adjacent to Giant, MOM's has plenty of parking at no cost. Shopping carts are free to use…read moreand it is encouraged to bring a reusable shopping bag. Smaller on the inside than I imagined but the variety of goods being offered were vast. The produce prices are higher and many of their items are organic and have scrutiny on the contents. This is for your betterment and you can find deals with the different signage throughout the store. Set up like any other supermarket, there is more selection of good for you food with less preservatives and dyes. When time to check out, the lines move quickly and the cashier was helpful, pleasant and efficient. I would recommend this store for others and plan to return in the future for more niche items.

I found Longview thru a farm-to-consumer website while looking for healthy, local sources for meat…read moreand produce. Longview farm is not a CSA, you get to pick what items you want in your "basket". They grow delicious food slowly - heirloom tomatoes, lettuce greens, eggs fro hens on pasture, grass fed beef and heritage Berkshire pork. You can also visit the farm if you contact them! Check out where your meat is coming from, Portlandia style! They do not have a farm stand. Instead they deliver to customers in DC and locally. They use non GMO corn feed. They do not use pesticides nor herbicides, so it is all very labor intensive and grown very slowly. Penelope is the main person that answers email inquiries, she is warm, friendly and helpful! We just got our first delivery of leaf lard (I was super interested in this after reading about it - old timey pastry pork fat before Crisco became the norm), bacon, tomatoes, basil, shallots, and eggs. Everything looks like it came out of a Edible Magazine catalog showcasing farm gourmet! They deliver to Capitol Hill, Palisades, Cleveland Park, downtown DC, Smithsonian, and locally near the farm. They were recognized by Slow Food DC and Southern Maryland Meats. ---Information from a farm directory--- At Longview Farm, 20 miles south of the US capitol, we raise grass finished beef, pastured hens for eggs, Berkshire heritage pork, heirloom tomatoes, and salad greens. All our animals are raised without antibiotics, hormones, animal by products or growth supplements. We practice natural, sustainable and humane farming but are not certified organic. Our Angus cows are drug-free, grass fed/finished, born and bred on the farm. Rotationally grazed, the herd moves to fresh grass twice a day during the growing season. Our heritage Berkshire pigs are rotated through oak, hickory and poplar woods to forage and root for grubs, acorns, etc. Our meat is USDA processed. Our hens move each day to fresh pasture. Feeds for our pigs and chickens are freshly ground at an Amish feed mill with non GMO corn. Our vegetables are grown naturally without chemicals. Heirloom tomatoes are fragile, but incomparably delicious with evocative names - Heart of Compassion, Marianne, Cherokee Purple... In addition to growing delicious food, Longview Farm is committed to protecting open space and natural habitat in suburbanizing Prince Georges County. The woods and pastures sequester carbon, and the farming practices replenish the soil.

Matter of fact if you ask for a certain I'd bet they either have it already or will cut it to your specifications. I drive around 30 minutes each way and it's more than worth it. Prices are right! Service is fantastic. Meats are vacuum sealed for freshness. So don't be afraid to put them in the freezer. It would probably take a long while before freezer burn sets in. What is funny is that we've been to places like Costco and Giant and Food Lion, and a host of others and nothing compares to the quality of meats we purchase at Chuck's. If you're looking for an old fashion butcher shop Chuck's Butcher Shop is the place to go. Won't go anywhere else!

I had the opportunity to visit this staple of American life yesterday, while running some errands…read morein Waldorf. Walmart is the retailer we all love to hate, specifically because of the misguided methods we regularly hear about in the media about how the company manages it's workforce, and because of the consistently poor standard of customer service we tend to experience in many of these stores. When it comes to LONG queues, clueless stockers, disdainful customer service reps, and some of the weirdest and disturbed patrons, Walmart definitively takes the biscuit. On this occasion however, my visit to Walmart INSIDE was...average. It was normal. The store aisles and shelves were tidy and organized. Employees were milling about scanning product and reading through print outs and checking people in short queues. Not one was randomly hanging around doing eff-all squared. I wandered through the store purposely looking for coolant and after asking two employees for the automotive section, I found it myself. One of the lads I asked didn't seem to realize his store sold motor oil, coolant, air filters etc. The other young chap simply didn't appear to understand the word "automotive" and literally accompanied his blank expression with a head-scratch. Anyway, away I went to fetch my coolant, and then some bottled water. On the way to the tills I did note that the store was actually in great condition. No merchandise spilling on the floor or strewn halfway off the shelves as if organized by some drunken associate; displays were clean and tidy; the floors were swept and shiny; and the noise pollution was down to a minimal (no bleating children or obnoxious men/women shouting into their Bluetooth headsets). I did encounter several women of different makes and models bloody blocking aisles with their mindless habit of standing in the middle of the corridor with their cart angled so that you had to specifically ask them to please let you through or just go around altogether. But that is standard at almost any Walmart. It then struck me that I had ventured into this store on a random Wednesday and at late morning. I assumed that I had been lucky in visiting when I did. Happy days - I got a normal, average experience at a Walmart. OUTSIDE the store however was the usual pick-and-mix cast off the Jerry Springer show who bring their problems to a Walmart parking lot and insist on sharing with the rest of society. Several people sat in their cars blasting their music at obnoxiously high decibels because they want you to forcibly appreciate their great musical tastes - even a big rotund fellow on a motorcycle was jamming out; angry-looking people raging and swearing at each other over random semi-private issues; rough-looking members of the local community standing around in front of the store mean-mugging everyone approaching the front doors as if they're going to spontaneously combust and start a fight; employees in headphones roughly pushing around carts and casually contorting them around parked cars; dodgy-looking lads shifting around nervously and walking in-between cars and looking around furtively; and people parked in the middle of lanes just sat there possibly waiting for Christmas or for a parked car to suddenly vacate a space. Although I am usually internally doing the "happy dance" every time I drive away from the parallel universe that is your average Walmart, on this visit, I was overall pleased with the quality of the store INSIDE. If I do return here it will definitely be on a Wednesday and late morning. In the meantime, take care of yourselves, and each other.
