It has many if not all of the things you're looking for. During the summer, they even have DIY ice cream sandwiches! Who doesn't want to make and customize their own ice cream sandwich? No one, that's who. There were so many things I wanted to buy when I visited, but I just ended up with a to-go cup of bulletproof coffee, which is basically coffee with butter in it. I don't follow keto eating practices at all, but I do like a good cup of bulletproof coffee, because when it's made right, it's smooth and butterscotchy and delightful. The bulletproof coffee at The Veggie Wagon was all of those adjectives! There's a little produce stand outside of the store, which is quite cute and quaint. When you go inside, you'll see even more locally grown produce items. We were around for tomato and berry season, so that's what was available. There's lots of parking here on the side of the building, and picnic tables out front in case you want to stay a while and enjoy your goodies on site.

My husband already wants me to go back for more. I stopped in during my lunch break so I wasn't able to spend a lot of time there but they definitely had so many goodies.

I went in yesterday around 1pm and was greeted warmly by a wonderful employee (think her name was Kelsey). She spent about 20 minutes explaining all of the different entrees. How it works and everything in between. I was so impressed with her. On a Saturday, the prepared meals are at their lowest cause they are preparing for Sunday pick up. They have sections for vegan, keto, lean, signature, and paleo. The meals last about a week and are prepared "clean". They have frozen cauliflower pizzas, too. A lot of their meal choices come with either sweet potatoes, cauli rice or brown rice. All of the info for health is listed on the back. Prices are alittle higher than the other places in town at $11.99. But, if you get more then the one it is cheaper. You can go in and pick a meal, heat it up and eat there or get a made to order wrap or salad. I chose to get a Buffalo chicken wrap and man was it delicious!!! You can taste the REAL chicken and it was huge. I also purchased a few frozen meals for $5.99 to try out. I was highly impressed with my visit! I will definitely be back and am grateful for the time she spent with me. I tried the steak lastnight and I really liked it. You are able to order larger portions, too. She said the website is very informational.

Every time I go I feel unwelcome and they act inconvenienced every time someone goes up to order. It's not just me. The only time they smile is when they are chattering to each other in the kitchen.

It's the only market that validates that all the vendors make or grow their own stuff so that means no MLM business or resellers.

The vendors had already doubled in number when i was there last week, and they just started it in May i think. Plus the co-op is right next to it, if you need something else. I hope this town supports it. I miss the farmers markets in California and Durham. These folks have a nice wooden, covered seating area in the middle. I like to grab some field raised sausage for biscuits and gravy, and the wife fills her cambucha growler. His stuff.

This small grocery market is located in the cargo district. Indoor is a small business called Bones…read morethat sells healthier dog treats and upcycle toys. There is also going to be a wine bottle shop inside called Bottles that will open soon. Homegrown sells local products and focuses on sustainability. There wasn't too much variety of produce when I was there. The produce prices are at least twice as much as grocery store prices but they are higher quality/locally grown. There are also "bulk" organic dried herbs and spices, flours, rice, beans and grains, including chickpea flour, sprouted whole grain flour, cacao powder, chia seeds, pink Himalayan salt, baking soda, arrowroot. These are not bulk bins, more of around 32 oz glass sized containers. I imagine if you only need a tablespoon or so of the spice or a cup of beans, this would work out for you. You can bring your own container or they have a glass containers available. Other products are local Taste the Olive olive oil, elderberry syrup, vanilla extract, honey, Kind Cultures, eggs, meats, sweets. For skincare there is bulk deodorant, tooth powder, and tea. Reverse osmosis water is available for $0.40 per gallon or free for single serving refills. This would be good market for those that live close by looking for organic, local, and sustainable products.

I decided to stop into Homegrown when I was in the Cargo district. It is right next to Bottles (a…read moregreat wine and beer spot). Homegrown Market itself is a "grocery store and market featuring local producers with an eye on sustainability and good health." They did have some great items inside and had items that you could bring in your own container to fill up with whatever the item was you were needing. Their produce was limited, but what they had looked fresh and delicious. They also sold many of the products from vendors that I see at the local farmers market at Poplar Grove. It is not necessarily something that I would go out of my way to stop at, however, if I was in the area, I would go back and check it out.

But why I realize speak highly of it is the prices are so reasonable. Granted more than even the nicer supermarkets but way less than other high end butchers I've seen.

From venison to chicken to beef to sausage to vegetables, sauces, and spices, The Butcher's Market packs a lot of extraordinary into a smaller space. I picked up lemon pepper chicken, a pound of ground beef, tri tips, and a twice baked potato earlier this week. Made great tasty meatballs and combined a few with that deliciously huge twice baked potato. Saving the lemon pepper chicken and tri tips for when Mom visits. This place is definitely going on my monthly staples list.
