After having experienced Cloister Honey years ago at a farmer's market I have bought jars over the…read moreyears for myself as well as shared with others. So, with the holiday season during Covid I was trying to support local businesses as well as be creative with my gifts. So, when it came to Mom and her love of honey no doubt Cloister came to mind. After checking out the selection I could not pass on the 'Holiday' Trio. The trio included Cinnamon, Cocoa and Pumpkin Spice whipped honeys. OMG, they all sounded amazing! The ordering process was simple, and one thing I loved was I marked my order as a "gift", so a note could be included, but listed my mailing address, so I could drop it at Mom's. Didn't think anything of it, as I have never had a company reach out, but Joanne, the owner, reached out to me via email to confirm the address, since I indicated a gift but listed my address, same as billing. Now, how sweet is that? I received the package which was one of the best packing jobs I have seen and included was an extra jar of honey, as a treat! If you have not tried Cloister, definitely give them a try. But, be careful, you may become addicted, ha ha!

I probably would not have encountered Cloister if they weren't the "special ingredient" at the…read morerecent Charlotte Food Fight 2016. Each of the competition dishes were expected to have used the honey in some way or another. Most seemed to just go with a drizzle on top and there's nothing wrong with that, but after having a taste, it seemed like a limited way to demo this tasty goodness. Fortunately, Cloister also had a booth at the Food Fight and that gave me an opportunity to not only try their straight honey but the interesting whipped honeys on offer. I wasn't daring enough to try the Ghost Pepper, but the Lemon was tasty! I brought my wife a pound of honey. She loved it. Go, me! Go, Cloister!

Just visited The Union Exchange and what a great little spot. We came on a Sunday around noon and…read moreit was pretty quiet, probably because of the time of day. I heard later in the afternoon they have live music and a lot more of a vibe, but honestly it was perfect for my friends and me. They have fishing, a park for kids, games, animals, food, picnic tables, and lots of open space to run around. Very family-oriented and such a nice outdoor experience. We really don't have many places like this in Miami, so I genuinely enjoyed myself. I didn't try the lemonade this time, but I did get an iced coffee and it was delicious. Next time I'm trying the lemonade, it comes in these mini buckets and looked super refreshing with a bunch of flavor options. If I'm not mistaken, parking was free (maybe because it was Sunday), and if you plan to fish, you do need to get a wristband and pay. Don't try to sneak around it because they will come find you pay your dues ;)

I purchased a baked good and it was STALE with no expiration date to be found! I didn't notice until I bit into it and it was so dry and stale I thought I must've purchased an expired item. I also purchased some of the premade foods to see if they improved. They definitely did not. The street corn doesn't remotely taste like it should. The chicken salad wasn't good either and at $10 for a small container it's not cheap. I'm really disappointed because this location used to have good premade options but this will be my last time here. Sadly, I still can't recommend this option when there are so many other fresh, fairly priced options.

Watch your prices. What is marked on the label is not the right price!! When you get to the…read moreregister, they ring it up at a higher price! Kombucha marked $3.49 in the case. Register charges $3.99 and they won't make it right. Instead I was told they didn't appreciate me bringing up that fact. I was dismissed and they wouldn't listen to me. Customer server, specifically Natalie, is less than subpar. She was so difficult. Their produce is awful!! Most of it was rotten. You have to pick through it to get something that's not rotten. They have rotten tomatoes, rotten peppers, rotten cukes, moldy strawberries, and the corn is dried out. Heed the warning! Also, WATCH THE PRICES or you will get ripped off!!!!!!!

They have so many delicious flavors that I cannot wait to try them all. The chocolate covered peanuts are AMAZING! The infused honey is so good. I can't wait to try everything they sell! The service is also top tier. I placed an online order on Sunday, and they had to have shipped them almost immediately, because they are arriving on Tuesday, which is Christmas Eve! Santa cannot wait to have some chocolate dipped peanuts while he sets up the gifts tonight. Part of the proceeds go to a great cause for people with disabilities too, which is something I feel super strongly about. I look forward to working my way through all of their yummy products.

We all walk around and I purchase whatever catches my eye - most recently I got a blacktail mountain heirloom watermelon (tastes like a sweeter regular watermelon) and a big $3 batch of basil that I instantly went home and used with a tomato/avocado/mozzarella salad and also made a jar of pesto. I love strolling here - it supports local, the food feels fresh as if it's going from farm-to-table, and it's something to do. It's next to the CVS and there is more than enough parking.

The new location for the Waxhaw Farmers' Market has been graciously donated by Bill and Holly Stewart of Stewarts' Village Gallery for the Market to use. The Stewart's say "they are looking forward to the new season with our new neighbors". The market runs from April through November and serves the citizens of Waxhaw, Weddington, Marvin and the surrounding communities. Customers come from Charlotte for many of the unique and delicious items available. The hours will remain the same, from 9 am till 1 pm on Saturdays and on Tuesdays from 3 pm to 6 pm. The market features naturally grown local produce, cut flowers, vegetable and flower plants, goat cheese, fresh farm eggs, herbs, local honey, fresh baked bread, cakes, cookies, muffins, granola bars, homemade dog treats, homemade goat milk soap, and so much more! With the exception of the flower people (they rarely last more than 5 days), all items have been wonderful. Produce prices can't be beat, and much of the food is wonderful. I'm partial to Heavenly Muffins (she's a neighbor of mine), but that aside they truly are deliciously 'Heavenly.' Support your local farmers, bakers, small business owners...go to the Waxhaw Farmers Market!

Oh! Happy Day! Granted, this was Labor Day weekend, and I knew the Matthews Alive Festival was going on. I did not want to drag my parents there as I knew it would be too much for them. Well, a few of the vendors had gone there to make more money, and less than 12 were here, it was still worth the trip. Fresh meat, local honey, baked goods, handmade goods, a delight to me. I am so glad I came and have suggested my siblings come when they come to visit our parents. A wonderful thing!

It's small and cozy inside and the place has old bones you can tell by the creaking wood floors. It feels like walking into an old timey little grocer, but this market is dedicated to natural produce and promoting good health. They have a lot of products from CBD, to vitamins, essential oils, and natural beauty products. They also have a lot of food items like organic snacks, juices, soups, and many more. What brings me back though is their little kitchen where they whip up smoothies, wraps, salads, and some delicious veggie burgers. They offer spicy black bean burgers, and most recently I tried a soy blend burger made with various nuts and other ingredients. These aren't the type of veggie burgers that try to mirror regular burgers, they have their own unique textures and tastes. Originally it was a bit out of my comfort zone as an avid meat lover but I love to try new things and I have to say they are quite delicious. As I start to learn more about ways to improve my health I wouldn't be surprised if I start to come in more regularly. I highly recommend coming in to browse. Even if it doesn't seem like your cup of tea, you're likely to be surprised by how many awesome things they have for sale! It also helps that the employees are super friendly and they usually play great tunes!
