I love coming to this neighborhood market, the owners are incredibly friendly and the store is filled with great products. I'm always surprised by discovering some great item on the shelves or by beginning some cool conversation with someone in the store.
What's unusual is there are no lotto tickets and no cigarettes. The 2 women owners wanted this store to be about healthy options and a community gathering place.
There are wonderful salads and sandwiches to buy, local produce, cage-free eggs, and delicious handmade breads. The prices are a bit higher than the regular grocery store, but the quality is much, much better. And they are a lot more reasonable than, say, Whole Foods.
Yesterday I noticed a great seed library tucked away in a back corner of the store. The idea is to take and leave heirloom seeds with your neighbors.
I look at this store as a bit of fresh sunshine in an urban setting. So besides a handy place to pickup bread and milk, you may discover something new.
