Actually, it's an extended pantry where we go to "pick things up." Trips to supermarkets involve the chore of shopping, since one has to scrutinize what's being offered.

We good friends with one of their employees and her infectious enthusiasm for the place is wonderful. A store around here is experimenting with hosting a local farmers market on weekends in their parking lot and offering farmers space in the produce section. The rest of the store is generic grocery store, but the quality of the produce blows away anything you can find at the high end yuppie markets and many people are beginning to shop there simply because produce is so important.
