I've been telling everyone I know about this fabulous new grocery store in our neighborhood at Columbia and 18
th. It's called
The Home Grow-in Grocer. (No, that is not a typo btw.)
It's a little corner store that has had a few previous incarnations, such as a gallery and a yoga studio. What piqued my interest was an e-mail that let me know I could buy UBC Farm produce at this grocer. Well, I hopped on my bike and checked it out. Now I buy produce there as well as milk and gifts for my friends. Besides food products the owner sells locally made gifts such as cloth bags and soap with as much money as possible going right into the maker's pocket.
They also sell ice cream and the mango flavour is totally addictive. Last night it seemed every family I met on the way to the store was carrying a cup or cone of ice cream from the shop.
I mean look at this lovely garlic. What's not to like?
I heard a rumor that the owner might have a café here in the winter time. I hope it's true!
I will ask about their hours and post them here, but I think they're open until 8 pm most evenings. We are so lucky to have this place in our neighborhood. I wish them all the best.
