| - I popped by Fresh & Wild to pick up my fave. current specialty snack. Dearly beloved, Snapea Crips ($2.99). They're AMAZING, healthy, and two bags of them could probably be eaten in one sitting. Check it: http://snacksalad.com/products.html.
F&W has a really attractive selection of veggies, fruit, grains, cheeses, dairy, canned goods and specialty snacks. I noticed the theme was oriented at being health conscience, which I think we can all appreciate.
They have a tidy outdoor display of fruits and what-not that reminds me of being at a farmers market. There's something about displays like that in general that makes grocery shopping all the more fun, and adds a rustic feel to good ol' veggie-picking. So, automatic points for that.
The veggies and fruits look ripe, fresh, clean and crisp. Y'know, I think it's the worst when you have to dig through fresh produce that looks bruised, dirty and wilted... Yum!
Inside, It's very cute, compact and clean. I think the wooden shelves are a nice touch, it adds to the farmers market type-feel they've got goin' on.
There was a section of chips that was all, sweet potatoe, baked-not-fried, "good for you and tastes good too". Sometimes, the healthy stuff doesn't taste all that great, but this section has you're taste buds covered in terms of snacking.
Ouuu, they also have a cute little orange juice squeezing machine (?) up at the front counter. 99% certain they sell liters or glasses of OJ. Unfortunately, I didn't get a glass myself. But the aroma of freshly squeezed oranges is heavenly. You can almost taste the sweet, citrus flavor... with your nose.
The prices may be a bit higher then the local Loblaws just down the road, but the selection is beyond satisfying.
Instead of "The End", I'll go with "Fancy Smancy" on this one.
