She was so very knowledgeable and friendly and took a huge amount of time to explain the origin of where they get their spices and also how to use them in a lot of ways. I ended up buying multiple packages of the recipe kits for some of the Indian recipes so that I can try some of the seasonings that I'm not familiar with prior to buying. I wish that it was closer, but anytime I'm in the area. I will be headed back that way for more knowledgeable conversation from a fellow foodie... Oh yeah, and to re-supply!

Harvest Time is such a wonderful, well stocked, interesting, and valuable store to visit in the…read moreAugusta area. The cashiers have always been friendly and helpful when I approached them. Their selection of vitamins, cleaning products, skincare, herbs, and teas is one of the best in the state for a small, local health store. In the Summer and Autumn, their selection of local produce increases. This year they have done a great job with local organic seedless watermelon and a nice variety of local organic vegetables. The dry goods section is not as expansive as one might find at a big box grocery store, which feels pretty reasonable and is even one of the reasons the store is nice.. it is a genuine, locally-opened small business.. not powering a huge space or warehouse to hold 12 varieties of one packaged item where 1 or 2 types are great. There are still many staple items to choose from. The costs I have compared are not more than the costs of items if they were ordered directly from the producers, they seem fair with prices. They are such a great addition to the area I try to think more of how I can support them instead of focusing on and criticizing minor shortcomings that most small local business face. I look forward to going to Harvest Time and finding interesting healthy things every time.

So many teas, spices sugars, and much more to choose from. We can't wait to try them. The staff was nice and the store was so much fun to look around. I asked if they have an option to shop online and they said yes.

I opted for a selection of various cookies and they were very delicious. The cookies had a little bit of softness to them, but a small crunch. You can sample oils and vinegar within the one section of the store. We love trying new oils and vinegar, especially to make a simple salad dressing. The store itself has such a cute ambience to it. You can even look out the back windows and see some of the water which really adds a special touch. The staff were amazing .
