Among many students, grocery stores near the University evoke feelings of disappointment.
The Campustown Target, albeit convenient, has ransacked shelves from hurried college students simply trying to survive. Meanwhile, the County Market on South Fourth and East Springfield is used as a last resort for desperate college students willing to pay the “county markup.”
However, if one were to venture off campus and go down South Neil Street, one would discover the bountiful joys of Harvest Market.
A health-focused grocery store with a café, bakery, food bar and deli, Harvest Market offers artisanal and organic products for any occasion, and the produce is often sourced from local farms.
Fresh sourdough is baked daily, and the dining area is popular among both community members and college students alike.
Against the backdrop of ambient chatter and fluorescent lighting, one can enjoy reasonably priced burgers and fried chicken with the knowledge of where their food comes from.
When you inevitably find yourself needing to make a grocery run once again, make sure to try Harvest Market.
