The very day following my comments about local grocery shopping, we happened upon this place. Miles from anywhere, all by itself on Highway 24. We stopped and found amazing goat cheese made on the premises, tomatoes and purple basil to die for, homemade pesto, bread baked in a wood-fired brick oven and salad greens as fresh as they come. And shade-grown coffee, roasted nearby and preparedi however you like it. Oh, and freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Uh-huh.
It certainly didn't look like a Seattle-style natural foods store or farmers market. Sometimes you just need to look a little closer. In all honesty, we wouldn't have stopped, but we got an e-mail at just the right moment from a good friend who recommended it.
I wish my Mesa Grocery (Mesa WA) had homemade bread and gourmet coffee. Actually I should be happy my Mesa Grocery now offers locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. It's interesting how you can find a place out in no where land that has just what you want. We were at Applebee's last night celebrating Kim's 59th with 3 appetizer plates at happy hour. Got out of there for $12. Then went to Ranch and Home and bought him some brand spank'in new cowboy boots. He use to where those when we first met. Love it!
