Harvest Market - Spotsylvania County Eat Local!
People of Spotsy County no longer have to wait until Saturdays from April - October to find local foods! A new business has opened at Spotsylvania Courthouse called "Harvest Market". They have meat and vegetables from local sources and many organic and whole food brands as well. We had some Pop Weaver's pork last week that was fabulous! Food from small local farms tends to run more expensive than large chain food, but you know the source and reduce the cost to our environment, while keeping your dollar in our community! In a recent article in the Free Lance Star ( http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2011/042011/04142011/619642 ), the owners cited health as their main impetus for opening. There are so many long-term reasons to eat local, whole food. I sometimes have sticker shock, but I've made a goal to buy a certain amount of my groceries from them each week - helping them stay in business while staying within my own budget. Harvest Market actually seems to be doing well - they are on the way to everywhere for anyone at or south of Spotsylvania Courthouse! Check out their link below and happy eating!
