Some of the sweetest Blackberries I've ever had! Got some to make a cobbler for a ladies retreat…read more They didn't make it to the cobbler! They were so sweet, we ate them (all 25 of us) fresh with a little vanilla ice cream. Harmony Ridge Homestead is top notch for your fresh Blackberries! (And her flowers are absolutely gorgeous!) Well worth the trip to this homestead in the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC!

I thoroughly enjoy the Aldi experience. Yes, your cart is a refundable quarter which helps ensure…read moreyou return your cart. Many of the prices are so much better, and I feel that they are well packaged and fresh . I only shop Aldi for certain things. If you are used to bringing your own bags, you've already got the concept.

A shockingly complete health-food store, as it were…read more I stopped into Mother Earth Foods rather at random, while passing through Wilkesboro, and I was surprised to discover a full-featured health food store. This place had it all: not only a big, satisfying selection of quality foods and supplements, but even several hard-to-find items, such as niche herbs and amino acids I'd previously only seen available online. There was a little cafe, too, equally impressive, with smoothies and juices and all manner of non-junk-food treats. What's more, the folks behind the counter were genuinely warm and friendly, as to match the store's soulful decoration. Cool :-D I had zero problems while at MEF, and if I'm ever back in Wilkesboro and in need of some food or supplements, I know where I'm going. A word of thanks to everyone at this store, for providing for me while on the road. Indeed, you're doing a good job.

I have purchased a number of hams but these are absolutely the best looking hams I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful. I have not cooked any so far but if they taste half as good as they look Im in for a treat. Thank you Suncrest Farms

I'm crazy about "real" ham. Earthy, cured, smoked, taste and feels like it came from an actual…read moreanimal. Meat should taste like it came from an animal. Reality? I'll eat almost any ham, but I like the real stuff the best and have been known to go on long drives in the Carolinas, Kentucky, Missouri and other places in search of small processors. Or just stumbling into local groceries in those regions. I found some good ones last week in North Carolina, "Suncrest Farms." In addition to being top quality, it's more 'value priced' than most competitor packets. Especially cool that they have "biscuit slices" in a one dollar package. Just what you need to satisfy a quick craving. As it is both cured (salt, sugar) and smoked, it doesn't require refrigeration before it's opened. Suncrest started in the mid 90s and has grown incrementally in revenue and facility size. They now top 100,000 square feet of production and storage space in Wilkesboro, NC. "Country ham" is a cure method involving primarily salt and time. "City hams" are cured with more sugar, and less smoke, a milder flavor. Country ham is fairly salty (for most, not for me). Soak in water ahead of cooking (15-30 minutes) or simmer in water before pan-frying, that's my method. Great for eating, sandwiches, seasoning in dishes. Sadly, the company does not have an e-store on their site, or a locator. Nor is it available on Amazon. Too bad, cause it's delicious. I'm going to have to plan a stock-up trip again soon!
