Wholesome Living Marketplace

If it weren’t for
I never would have stumbled upon this small natural food store tucked away in a strip mall across the river from downtown Bedford.
I was looking for some organic milk that wasn’t ultra-​pasteurized and while I did not find that here, I did find a source for raw milk and more exciting locally produced raw milk cheese.
Don’t tell anyone, but the Royer Mountain aged raw milk cheese from Clover Creek Cheese Cellar could easily be sold in New York for $ 20 per pound or more. Here you can get it for about $ 10.
On top of that I was able to get a dozen eggs that were collected on the very day I bought them. The eggs came from Split ail Run Farm in Clearville, and were labeled Free Range and All Natural.
I’m not sure exactly what their standards are, but same-​day eggs are amazing. A dozen was $ 3. I brought them back to my in-​laws farm and poached them gently. Then I put them on top of toast from Hot Buns bakery for a very Bedford breakfast.
The shelves are a bit sparse (I had hoped for a broader selection of Tom’s of Maine toothpastes) and the produce didn’t look great. But they had local lamb and other meats in the freezer. Oddly they stock Boar’s Head too, but I’m not going to hold that against them.
