i'm *really* surprised by that first review!! i'm not "dark skinned" (i hope that's not…read moreoffensive!!) so i can't comment on the racial profiling... BUT!! this store is my most favourite place to shop in vernon! the first tuesday of each month is 10% off. every first tuesday, i pack along all my bins and four pre-schoolers. the staff is always patient and very helpful and the owner almost always offers my kids a special treat from the bins. they let me bring my bins!! if you're "earth friendly", this is a huge perk. i just bring my bins to the spice counter and they write the tare (the weight) on the bottom, then i fill up my bins! it's a great service, is great for the environment, and a great time saver, as i don't have a million bags sitting in my pantry or freezer! when we go through the till, they chat with my kids, share recipes with me, and quite often carry my bags out to my van for me! this is one store that really makes me proud to shop locally! i would recommend it to ANYONE, and very often, i do!! try it out! such a great store!!

They are all so helpful. Every department has helpful staff. If they don't have an item that you're looking for then they'll special order it in for you. That's Customer Service! I love that they support local farmers. I am still a huge fan of their convenient Grab And Go foods in the front coolers. If you want catering done or organic smoothies, salads, sandwiches, entrees, freshly made drinks, baked goods.... they have a great deli and seating inside and (seasonally) outdoor tables and chairs too. They also have free publications to sit and enjoy with a cup of great brewed organic coffee.

Interesting grocery store in Vernon with nice staff and a good selection of produce and products…read more On a recent trip to Vernon we stopped in at Butcher Boys a few times for groceries. They've got a large store with almost everything you can think of - from fruit and veg to marshmallows, refreshments to seasonal items, candles to couscous! We appreciated how happy the staff were to serve us no matter how large or small our purchase happened to be. Prices are more than you may expect from larger chains(superstore or Walmart for instance) but not super expensive all things considered. Would happily return on our next trip.

It had everything, soap, fruits & veggies, plants for you to grow, handmade clothes, coffee, honey, and cards. You have to turn into where the Kal Tire Centre is, and continue driving and you'll get to the parking lot. Lots of parking! I walked away with some coffee, local artist greeting cards, and some soap from a really nice couple! I would definitely come out to this Farmer's Market regularly if I lived in Vernon, as having a mix of vendors and not just food/fruits/veggies was really nice to support all types of local vendors.
