I appreciate the signage to let us know which variety is up that day, and it is a day to day experience. During this year of questioning all produce, we went out of our way to get lettuce at Beth's and it did not disappoint. The staff are helpful, and the lines get long. The variety is on target and I highly recommend this farmer's market for the blueberries, strawberries, and apples.

She was so very knowledgeable and friendly and took a huge amount of time to explain the origin of where they get their spices and also how to use them in a lot of ways. I ended up buying multiple packages of the recipe kits for some of the Indian recipes so that I can try some of the seasonings that I'm not familiar with prior to buying. I wish that it was closer, but anytime I'm in the area. I will be headed back that way for more knowledgeable conversation from a fellow foodie... Oh yeah, and to re-supply!

Their selection of vitamins, cleaning products, skincare, herbs, and teas is one of the best in the state for a small, local health store. In the Summer and Autumn, their selection of local produce increases. This year they have done a great job with local organic seedless watermelon and a nice variety of local organic vegetables. The dry goods section is not as expansive as one might find at a big box grocery store, which feels pretty reasonable and is even one of the reasons the store is nice.. it is a genuine, locally-opened small business.. not powering a huge space or warehouse to hold 12 varieties of one packaged item where 1 or 2 types are great. There are still many staple items to choose from. The costs I have compared are not more than the costs of items if they were ordered directly from the producers, they seem fair with prices. They are such a great addition to the area I try to think more of how I can support them instead of focusing on and criticizing minor shortcomings that most small local business face. I look forward to going to Harvest Time and finding interesting healthy things every time.

If you're looking for something specific, they probably have it! Of note... Salts: alderwood smoked, bacon smoked, black lava, black truffle, celery, chocolate, Hawaiian red, garden mirepoix, lemon, lime, espresso, porcini... I don't know if it was a special for summer, but I picked up some dill pickle salt and it's been my go to for every onion ring I've eaten recently. Sugar: apple cinnamon crisp, bourbon black walnut, cardamom, chai, cranberry orange, dark cocoa, dragon fruit, key lime, lavender lemon, mango habanero, pineapple, rose, sweet onion... are you feeling inspired yet? Spice: amarillo, aleppo, ancho, chipotle, cayenne, habanero, jalapeno, New Mexican green, New Mexican red, paprika smoked/Spanish hot/Spanish sweet/Hungarian hot/Hungarian Sweet... your life probably needs the pizazz of these peppers! (SIDE NOTE: That's not even everything from those three categories. The options really are seemingly endless.) There's also kitchen accessories, infused oils, pastas, gifts, and more. And don't forget the tea bar: any tea (hot or iced) and any sugar they have, they can make you a drink! But, honestly, I'd ask the staff what some of their favorite combos are because they've got amazing recommendations. Cook? Know a cook? There's something here your pantry needs.

( possibly for future purchases lol) I would recommend that if you are a tea, spice, or sugar fan- so many options and smells to sample. :)

You can sample oils and vinegar within the one section of the store. We love trying new oils and vinegar, especially to make a simple salad dressing. The store itself has such a cute ambience to it. You can even look out the back windows and see some of the water which really adds a special touch. The staff were amazing .
