They have a great cheese selection! At least from last visit their milk is at least 20¢ less than my neighborhood's. Their whole milk yogurt. Granola. Good veggies, riced broccoli, or cauliflower, regular, cherry and heirloom tomatoes, apples, madarin oranges, grapes, very brief season of champagne grapes. Pastas, rice. Herbs, and spices. Indian food. Good various chips. PB, pretzels w PB. Choc bars.

Mine isn't super close, but since I'll now mix sudway and bus travel (vs 3 buses last Aug) it'll be quicker , too. Only stopped going because it was reported in our area of employees getting sick.

I mightv evenn go to my Green Market again in July as Heirloom 💖 tomatoes pop up, along with fresh corn, kirby cukes. There's a great particular biodynamic organic farm with great (but expensive) cheeses. Hopefully the maple syrup, and maple candy people will be there, too.
Weee, heeee! 🥰
