The first thing that you notice was the lovely smell. But when I saw all the different honey from around the world I want to taste them all. Turns out, they have a cute love seat at the counter and you can taste the honey. I think the owner waited on me and she offered samples of the lotion, oil & lip balm. I bought the dry oil, I never heard of such a thing. This oil made with honey extract was soothing and did absorb into my skin and wasn't sticky leaving a nice scent. I bought it. I use it after every bath and it feels like I have a spa in my bathroom. I purchased their Crème Legere the light face cream. I am so pleased with the way it works, I stopped using my other face cream. The final purchase was the lip balm. It's made with honey extract and works better than any chap stick or lip gloss I've used. The gloss has a slight glimmer to it and looks good as the final touch to my lipstick. There was a QR code on the balm so I looked it up on an app I have that lets you know, if there are toxic or cancer causing ingredients. So far I have never seen a product that had 0 toxic ingredients. Now I'm on a search for a lipstick with that excellent rating. I've not found one yet. Having something on my lips that is natural and could be edible is what all lip product should be. Looks like I'll be using this perfect lip balm from now on. I use it every day. There isn't one thing in the entire store that I wouldn't buy. Everyone should go to this crème of the crop store!

I really love this market because it's so food-focused, which is like "duh" with all the beautiful farms in the immediate vicinity.. but many of the "farmer's markets" I visit at home in DFW are overrun with crafts, so it's nice to be at one that's truly focused on local farmers. We bought fantastic green garlic, onions, asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, kiwis and bananas, apples, grapefruit and oranges, fresh rosemary, orange marmalade and cranberry pepper jam, a white lemon balsamic vinegar, our favorite Valley Ford farmers cheese, a lovely strip steak, and a bouquet of flowers to enjoy during our short visit.

The store is beautifully laid out and curated with an eye for quality that puts most 'gourmet' chains to shame. The produce is consistently stunning, and the local wine selection perfectly reflects the best of our backyard (Dry Creek, Alexander Valley, and beyond). The standouts: * The Deli/Prepared Goods: This is the heart of the operation. The sandwiches are legendary, the pizza is artisanal-grade, and the prepared salads are actually fresh and inventive--not just an afterthought. * The Cheese Section: Simply sublime. It is clear whoever curates this section has a deep passion for local creameries and international classics alike. * The Experience: Despite the high-end inventory, the staff is incredibly friendly and grounded. Plus, in a town like Healdsburg, having a lot with decent parking is a massive luxury that makes the trip even easier. Whether you're stocking up for a dinner party or just grabbing the best lunch in town, this place is the gold standard.

During my last visit, I selected an assorted box of six bonbons, which were all so beautiful and looked like mini pieces of art. They offer a refillable gift box, which is nice to know for the future. I love that they always have different flavors available. The chocolates literally melt in your mouth, they are that good!    I've also tried their desserts, and they are absolutely delicious too! They usually have a couple of different options available. In addition to sweet treats, they have coffee drinks too.

Parking is fairly plentiful in the strip mall it's located in. Stepping inside you'll find a nice market with many different products such as produce, a small salad bar, olive bar, groceries and drinks as well as a deli. Everything looked really good quality. We chose two Tuscan veggie sandwiches which were already prepared in the deli case and looked incredible. The helpful deli counter employee recommended that they were best heated up and offered to do so while we looked around. Soon our sandwiches were warm and off we went. The sandwich was delicious. Absolutely a delight to the senses. Visually it was fresh and vibrant. The layers were impressive. The taste, amazing. The olive tapenade, pesto, greens and veggies were delicious. It's been a while since I've had such a delicious sandwich. We both were saying "yum, mmm" with each bite. Epic sandwich. The service was great. I highly recommend Shelton's Natural Foods market.
