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. The only thing I wouldn't recommend are some of the local frozen items. It's nice to offer things from area farms but they are expensive for frozen meats.

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.

It's wonderful to know that the family behind these amazing and uber delicious gourmet products are incredibly nice and generous. While there are so many different items that I adored (and I tried quite a few samples) my favorite is the Heavenly Toffee Cookies. Tasty grahams toffee'd up to the wazoo. SO delightful. I pretty much took down an entire 6 oz. bag in one sitting. Goodness Gracie, you sure do make delicious treats. They also make a ton of other cookies and delicious snack items that make for perfect gifts for anyone who loves a tasty morsel and/or local products. Their website also hosts a variety of really cute basket-like gifts for any occasion at really affordable prices. I will continue to support this great local company in any way I can! Trust me, if you try their cookies or snacks you won't be able to resist either.

The couple hand makes all of their items themselves. I am allergic to tree nuts so we bought the Oatmeal Toffee cookies! Holy shmoley, these things are the best! When we got home, I got online and ordered more for myself and some gifts. You gotta visit this site and grab some for yourself!

I am not really into infused olive oil, so I primarily buy straight up olive oil here. They have 3-4 straight olive oil options (e.g. Spanish, California, Greece) which are very good. You can ask for samples to help you choose. The quality of the products are very good, which is why I buy from this place. Note, they are a little high, but again the quality is very good. Discounts for military personal and if you buy 3 bottles. Cash, plastic and Apple Pay accepted.

It's an unassuming place but I ordered a small charcuterie board for a soccer match today & we were blown away. First off, it's pretty. It's fresh, it's packaged well and there's a little bit of everything. Nuts, fruit, crackers, cured meats, pumpkin spread, chutney- , it's a party in a box. Everything we sampled was amazing. It was all so good! A small box fed three of us with leftovers as our lunch. There was plenty to share. It was a great way to picnic while outside and I'll definitely be ordering again.

This was my first visit to this bakery after going to a Saturday morning event by the movie…read moretheater. I was interested in seeing the bakery after reading other reviews. This review, however, is just for the bakery, as we did not dine in. The bakery case was full of beautiful pastries and French goodies that I just did not know what to get. We settled on an Apple turnover, chocolate croissant, and 3 small raspberry filled donuts. The clerk boxed up our items and rang us up, but the change drawer was a little sparse, so she had difficulty making change for us. They had just opened, but the drawer was not full for the day. Just odd, but not that much of an issue. There are no photos here of the cases because of the signs posted inside not allowing photos or videos to be taken. You have to come in to get a look yourself, I guess, but you won't be disappointed. I'd like to try lunch or dinner, or maybe the high tea, because the menu has some wonderful items listed. The pastries were delicious and buttery, and not sweet. Just a great mouth feel when you take a bite. I will definitely be back for something else.

La Mar Salada…read more Tonight I went with some friends to La Mar Salada to learn how to make paella. I hadn't heard that this business had opened on Castle Street, When I drove to the address and was able to find parking behind the establishment, and a nice little parking lot, I was excited to see this beautiful front door to this very welcoming business. Business. They had it set up for 14 of us to learn how to make paella while enjoying wine and appetizers. There's store is full of authentic Spanish delicacies, and specialty items. Cat and Victor were great hosts, very welcoming and although many of us arrived a strangers, we became fast friends. We participated in cutting things up that would go into the paella and they told us about this Spanish dish and the authentic way of making it. Several of us had never had paella. Others had had seafood paella. Tonight they made chicken and chorizo paella and a vegan paella. Both were excellent. They even gave us a goodie bag to take with us with special rice that they had used and an apron to remember their store by. I would highly recommend it. It was well worth the price of admission, and I look forward to going back and buying some more of their goodies. When you go, be sure to tell them Annie sent you.

The store itself is consistently clean and well organized, which makes shopping there pleasant. One concern, though, is the condition of the bathrooms. They've noticeably declined compared to the past--stall doors are coming off the hinges, the interior paint looks worn and neglected, and overall cleanliness doesn't seem to be maintained like it used to be. It's disappointing, especially given how well the rest of the store is kept. Hopefully management takes a look and brings them back up to the standard customers expect.
